Marg P for observer reporter - yah or nay

[harwood red]

After reading the posts in the observer thread in general chat and garinda saying that he thought it would be a good idea for marg P to be a reporter... and marg saying she would do it too, I thought I would start a poll to see what others thought..

I know many of you never got the chance to read Margaret Pilkington's fantastic blog but she really does have a way with words and a brilliant view on life.. so what da ya think?/

Ps hope you do mind me doing this margaret, if you do I'm sure the mods will remove it for you

Marg's blog was a pleasure to read, and I really hope the journals haven't been lost for ever in the virtual ether.

She has great wit, and a down to earth charm, and I always read her musings with a silly big grin on my face. I've said before that her style reminds me of the late Bernice Rubens...only funnier.

I think she'd be a wonderful columnist for the Observer.

I agree ... but so would you Garinda, perhaps you could get together and do a Richard and Judy style column .. yes, that would be cool

Never got to read her blogs. But in general post i usually agree with what she says, and these are usually witty and informative.

I enjoy her posts immensely!

Ooooh, I've come over all peculiar here...... I would love to do a column with Rindy....we would have a great time and the slant on local life and culture would be great...though i think a lot of it might be down to nostalgia.

I can't tell you how pleased I am that so many of you enjoyed my journal.....much as I, and I'm sure a lot of you, also enjoyed Rindy's.

When I first joined Accyweb, I remember thinking that no-one would be interested in my thoughts or opinions...and it was with great trepidation that I posted my first thread.......that seems an awfully long time ago now.
Yeah, bring it on.
And Rindy, you can be Judy...! I hope you improve her dress sense.

I'm still waiting for Nickelson, who voted for the option 'see my post for other ideas', to share their thoughts in this thread.

[WillowTheWhisp]

Maybe they haven't thought of them yet.

Then the logical thing would be to wait until you've thought, before voting for that option.
