Brentford ? No! Nylons? No! Cotton? Yes Lots! From The Argus)

Do The Argus proof these before publishing? This bit doesn't make sense as a sentence?

"I shall be dipping my elbow in various liquids, and on that note, can I just thank the two wonderful Midwives, Cindy Boxall and Vic Bell who attended to us early Wednesday morning and hopefully like Albion’s winning goal tomorrow, blink and you’ll miss it!"

With the numerous mis-placed commas and plethora of exclamation marks, I strugggled to make much sense of any of it.

Yes, on a newspaper's website.

As Southy suggests on the 'Build a Bonfire' thread ... isn't it rather bad form to puff up your own writing by starting a thread about it on another website?

 

[gullshark]

Sorry, but it's so hard to read that I gave up after the first couple of lines.

Has the Argus stopped employing subs?

This reads like the ramblings of a lunatic

Is this a "look at me" thread

Don't give up your day job, Oh you don't have one do you as you keep reminding us.

I hate to come over all "it was not thus in my day", but as a former sub-editor AND Argus columnist, I'm saddened to see what passes for publication. I don't begrudge anyone the chance to see their words "in print", (despite the fact that all this user generated content undermines proper journalism) but I do begrudge the complete disinterest in sub-editing the verbal incontinence that can so easily result from these encouragements.

My word, how old are you? That is the worst pile of shit i have ever read in my life. Seriously, read some other people's articles before you attempt your own. You cannot have that many commas. It is just not right.

Don't you mean "uninterest" or "lack of interest"?

Thank god for that fascinating blog.

I mean, it's not like every other detail of what goes through its author's mind ever gets posted on here as well, is it. Great to see.

Thanks for all your kind comments, the 'when I did this or when i did that' ones are most welcome.

With hindsight, writing my blog in order to keep myself awake whilst monitoring my 22 month old watching cbeebies after I have had about 4 hours sleep in 48 odd hours was not a good idea.

Publishing it well ...........I am not a pro journalist obviously

 

[Wozza]

OOoh, will there be a different excuse each week? That's worth following.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

You can't have it all ways, Tim! Either write the blog and accept that an opinion piece will generate dissenting opinion or stay well away from the writing business altogether. Getting flouncy about your own self-promotion just makes you look silly.

Readers don't want to know that you are writing while watching CBeebies - although it might go some way to explain things. In fact they don't want to know anything that goes on behind the front door in HB&B Villa.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Another me! me! me! thread.

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Probably a completely inappropriate time to advertise my most recent blog on the same site then?

Would appreciate any feedback.

I'm astonished anyone would choose to read his drivel. The bloke's a complete cock on here, and his picture looks like one of an public school boy who still giggles when conversation moves onto girls.
