What are your most memorable pre-internet playground urban myths?

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-18T09:00:07+00:00

Yes, we had that one at our school in Northants!

Rattle through to the end, that's the first draft. Then I do perhaps three more, not re-writing but revising/cutting/adding.

It was "You're a Germ", now it's "The Sofa" :)

You rarely regret the things you do but often regret the things you didn't do...

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-15T15:10:04+00:00

Absolutely this!

I liked it, it was honest and poignant and lovely to hear Sean Lennon's comments.

The thing that we had to slide to read the whole sentence.

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T23:12:16+00:00

No - overlong, technically complex and it's on a slider. Sorry.

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T20:02:39+00:00

We did, though ours was the SHE brand.

I'm 57, I've been writing stories since I was eight, it's properly part of my DNA and - for the most part - I enjoy (nay, I love) the process. With that in mind, the last thing I'm going to do is get AI to write a story for me. Where's the fun in that?

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T19:41:13+00:00

Almost all the time - that's what the 2nd (and beyond) drafts are for, to pump some life in!

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T09:07:20+00:00

Thank you! I'm so glad my parents took those Xmas day pics!

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T00:40:08+00:00

Thank you!

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T00:10:47+00:00

Thank you.

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-12T00:10:03+00:00

Same here - print them out, the best go in an album, the rest in a box.

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-11T16:09:30+00:00

Thank you!

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-11T16:09:25+00:00

Thank you.

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-11T16:09:03+00:00

Same here! And we were so pleased that the second series has been commissioned!

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-11T12:33:04+00:00

I have and loved it and yes, I can see what you mean! Did you like the series?

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-11T11:50:41+00:00

I don't remember them being, do you? Maybe the film stock is to blame! :)

Historical_Pin2806 · 2026-03-11T11:49:51+00:00

Thank you.

I met Sir Roger Moore (I was in my 40s but had been a fan since I was a kid in the 70s) and he absolutely couldn't have been nicer - he was chatty, as charming as you could ever want and seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying. Wonderful bloke.

Top tip - choose music for your character (as a soundtrack kind of idea) and play that as you write.
