A good comment or lively piece of chat is often far more entertaining than a keel haul through the subs. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=9445#post-25612 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:52:34 +0000 The All New Jeni B 25612@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ok, I'll bite.</p> <p>I'm one of those who just always mouth off in the chat room.<br /> I've been here a while, and so far my FP success is so limited as to be unworthy of mention.<br /> Just because I don't post subs very often, does that mean I'm not entitled to an opinion?<br /> I seldom comment on posts, generally I do this only when I'm making what is (hopefully) a helpful suggestion, praising what I see as a genuinely good sub, or on even rarer occasions, pointing out when the subject matter is so tired as to be better off left to die.<br /> I don't sub often because I accept that I don't have the talent that so many here do, but I <strong>do</strong> know what I like, what makes me chuckle, and what I think fits with the site.</p> <p>Perhaps I should nominate myself as TotW for daring to have an opinion? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=9445#post-25598 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:47:22 +0000 rickwestwell 25598@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><blockquote> But I would like to know what I need to do in order to improve.<br /> If it's simply not funny, then say so - if it is poorly written, poor use of grammar I need to know. </blockquote></p> <p>You're on.

But it's rather moreish so we are hanging up our twatting sticks here and firing up the bbq. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=9445#post-25554 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:57:30 +0000 Scroat 25554@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Over my head Sooty I'm afraid.

If you stopped ranting a moment, you may observe I am combining the "no toadying, say what you think" with a critique of his smithing as a form of <strong><em>iron</strong></em>y. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=9445#post-25548 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:38:19 +0000 edward hack 25548@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>So afternoonslow had an opinion that you disagreed with.<br /> So that makes him a twat does it?<br /> Maybe his forthright approach bruised a few 'lovies' along the way but at least he injected a bit of life into the chat room (5 pages and counting).<br /> Seriously : There must others who would like to post a sub and have biscuiteers give a reasoned, balanced, honest appraisal of it.<br /> Three Fps, a few Nibs and a handful of tickers in nearly two years and over 200 entries suggest I haven't got it quite right and my WOTM award is still some way off. But I would like to know what I need to do in order to improve.<br /> If it's simply not funny, then say so - if it is poorly written, poor use of grammar I need to know.<br /> There is far too much crap appearing nowadays and it is dragging the site down. Clearly some of it is mine.<br /> A few well balanced, thoughtful opinions might help some of us sharpen up our act, point us in the right direction.<br /> You wouldn't let a dog die a slow painful death, so here's an opportunity to have this one put down.<br /> The temptation to say 'your sub is no good because you are a twat' is not enough. Undoubtedly true, but not enough.<br /> I'd prefer to be remembered for posting some decent work rather than just mouthing off in the chatroom.<br /> Would anybody be interested? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=9445#post-25523 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:24:04 +0000 Scroat 25523@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes Greasy Dave defo in with a chance this week. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=9445#post-25516 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:58:46 +0000 andhrimnir 25516@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>My vote goes for Afternoonslow.
