View Full Version : Your specialist subject
Hi Folks,
A lighthearted thread for a Saturday night.:)
If we started an Org review magazine what specialist subject would you opt to cover?
I would love to be a restaurant critic..eating out every night and reviewing the best and worst establishments for the discerning diner.

I'd like to be the reporter who always gets sent to do bizarre things.
Like lion-wrestling or spending a week with the Krankies on tour:eek:
Or writing ridiculous obituaries about people whom I have never known.
I could do a really good spoof obituary...
Northener dont be ridiculous!Thats way too dangerous....nobody could survive a week on tour with the Krankies ;) [lol] x
Bags I get the sunny holiday reviews

I guess I could be persuaded to do boat reviews, but I'd need my arm twisted.
But nothing too expensive, make the top price for a review boat £10 million :D
hubby was mortified though:lol:
"Star Turns and Stiffs!"
"The Bizarre and the Buried!"
"Weird and With God!"
"Dead Interesting and Dead!"

You can do the 'Thinly veiled Sarcasm' column until you're up to speed...for quality journalism we can wait while you 'learn people'.... whatever that may involve!:D
Can I do the politics section? Perleeeeeze!
Be great to pontificate without reply!

Hi Oddquine
Sure you can .....but there will be a letters page!;)
Will you be doing 'International news' as well?
And.............
.........Do we have a cartoonist?
we can't do political satire without a cartoonist!:eek:
I could probably make a pretty good job of (and very much enjoy!) doing the theatre and film reviews, please. It has been a while, but I think I still have all the know-how. ;)
Or if that is taken, then the book reviews. :)

I would love to be a restaurant critic..eating out every night and reviewing the best and worst establishments for the discerning diner.
I would like the job of proof-reader please; an excellent chance to brush up on my own grammar and spelling! And of course I would keep Karia company on her own arduous reviews....:lol:
I would like to do 'girls I have known and loved'..;)
failing that, fishing in various locations around the world. :D
Course ye can badger... would you like a partner... a la Kirsty and Phil..or do you fancy going solo ala Sarah Beeny?
First thought was a partner might be fun - but supposing we have completely different tastes/opinions ? Blood on the carpet. Maybe I'm safer going solo unless we can exchange views first.
Oh and tall, dark and handsome would be nice ;)
My specialist subject would be music of the 80's.
A bit sad I know but i was a scholar of the music at that time! :)

Please Miss! I'd like to review (and keep!) all the latest IT & techy gadgets thanks :D

i dont know what i would like to do, its a hard one, how about something to do with pets :)
im sure mum (tugmistress) would like to do photographs and weather lol
kazzii xxxxxxx
Would love to do the human interest stories and anything else that comes under the 'weird and miscellaneous' category. If there's a three eyed fish found or someones dog windsurfs I want to know about it! Variety is the spice of life.
How about crosswords..
.....or should we just take that in turns like we usually do?!;):lol:
I am willing to take on the job of reviewing Doghouses.
Not kennels for cainines, the other sort.
I could produce a fairly comprehensive critique, having been an occupier of the said premises on and off for a lot of years. ;)
