Marg P for observer reporter - yah or nay
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

Re: Marg P for observer reporter - yah or nay
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.

Re: Marg P for observer reporter - yah or nay
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!

Re: Marg P for observer reporter - yah or nay
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.

Re: Marg P for observer reporter - yah or nay
I'm still waiting for Nickelson, who voted for the option 'see my post for other ideas', to share their thoughts in this thread.

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