No. It was a boring story with no depth.

TroublesomeEx · 21/02/2012 16:37

I read 2 paragraphs and lost the will to live.

Did you write it?

Perhaps I'm not your target audience.

Horribly mannered, not particularly amusing. Actually, correct that. Not amusing at all.

YANBU, we're all entitled to our own opinions, but I don't agree. Sorry.

Is it a takeoff of that annoying article on the Guardian the other day?

Either way, it's a bit laboured.

breatheslowly · 21/02/2012 16:42

In what way was it funny? Self absorbed spewings as far as I got.

AgentProvocateur · 21/02/2012 16:43

I liked it, and though it was a very clever piss-take. Have you lot ^^ read the original article that it's lampooning?

breatheslowly · 21/02/2012 16:43

Like someone had suggested that the write was funny when drunk in a pub and the in the cold light of day they thought they really were.

yellowraincoat · 21/02/2012 16:43

I've read the article, still didn't think it was funny.

Puffykins · 21/02/2012 16:44

I found it hilarious. And quite clever. But them I'm not Rachel Cusk's biggest fan, and found the Guardian piece horribly overwritten and laboured, and so therefore find a parody of it funny even in principle.

OhChristFenton · 21/02/2012 16:45

I didn't find it funny, but I daresay I'm missing something, so carry on.

fabwouldliketocomeback · 21/02/2012 16:45

What a sad sign of the times. It isn't even funny or well written.

lynniep · 21/02/2012 16:47

no. as tedious as the original.

breatheslowly · 21/02/2012 16:47

The original wasn't very readable which I solved by stopping reading it.

spatchcock · 21/02/2012 16:49

I sniggered quite a lot. Especially at 'shitbird in a pinny.' Although I think the original RC article is funnier.
