When I am not arguing the virtues of da yoof (the youth!), I happen to be writing a novel about them. Funnily enough the novel is all about aspiration; how a teenager can realise their goals within the complications of today's society. It's set on my street.


I'm at the stage now where I could do with some helpful feedback. Would anyone be interested in meeting for a series off three book debates? I'd print you off sample chapters which I can post to you or email you a PDF. Then we can discuss them a week or so later. I would book a space and provide tea or coffee.


You don't need to be an expert or anything, just completely honest and upfront about my writing and how I portray the characters. The first session would probably take place at the end of September. With the other two in October.

Mel. I dont think you understand enough of " da yoof - slang for the youth! ".

It might be better to become more computer aware.

You meant to say Then, then why not go back to that message and edit to be correct?

To write an interesting Novel, about those who live in your street, would have to have a content of truth, should you ever get a publisher, anything not factual will come back and bite you.

ComputedShorty - if I told the facts you'd think I was an irresponsible liar adding to an over inflated hysteria on youth!...


Thanks for your yes votes...


a series means that I would ask you to meet me three times, to see the changes I would have made to some sample chapters after hearing your points of view. So for best availability, mornng, afternoon, after work or weekends?

      Dirty Business on Channel 4

      The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit.

      Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?

      Petition: Urge Israeli Government to stop law allowing execution of Palestinian prisoners

      By IlonaM · Posted

      Petition Urge Israeli Government to stop law allowing execution of Palestinian prisoners The UK Government must act urgently to urge the Israeli Government to stop the proposed law which would permit the execution of Palestinian Prisoners, past, present and future. More details We believe that such a law would constitute complete violation of the Geneva Convention and International Human Rights Law. UN experts have called for these proposals to be dropped. We call on the UK Government apply considerable and substantial political pressure and the leverage of its international obligations to prevent the Israeli Government from passing this law.
