Thank you David, Brian & Jim
Yes David, it is of course a “designated” rather than a “nominated” driver. And I did eventually realise that, which is why these doodles got put on pause a month or two ago, while I thought of something better. When I rediscovered them, I had forgotten what the problem was, but I guess it sort of works without that reference. And “fearth” as far as I know is not a Yorkshirism, but what would I, a Lancastrian, know about it!
Thanks for the challenge Jim. I have not yet worked any of these couplets into my bio’s. I do occasionally try to make them more quirky. For example I had a bio in Ink Sweat and Tears last Feb where I described myself as “eye-wateringly uninteresting”, which I hope made me sound paradoxically quite interesting. Or maybe not. It is quite tricky to draw attention to yourself in a good way when you don’t have much to genuinely show off about. So I find myself going for the exaggerated understatement. I rather like George Simmers’ Snakeskin because he eschews bios but he does put in a link enabling you to message the author.
Thanks again
Joe
