About this Member

Thanks to all who read rated and nominated my review on The Waterfront. I'm chuffed to bits with my 4th crown!

WOOHOO!! Just logged on and seen my mugshot for the first time on the homepage. Dooyoo loves me, thanks dooyoo. Love you too!!

I have been here on Dooyoo since November 08. I'm by no means a pro reviewer yet but I like to think I'm on my way. I have been looking through some of my earlier reviews and I have to admit they stink. (one of them STILL has no reads!) I was a 150 word churner at the start, and I see there's a lot of new members doing the same on here at the moment. All I can say is don't be too harsh on them. I took a while to work out what the dooyoo 'community' was all about (and had a few helpful prompts from some members which shall remain nameless!) and also was unsure what to say in a review to make it 'VU'. I think you need to write a few stinkers first, then the only way is up!

I like to think I rate fairly. Just because a review is 300 words long, doesn't make it 'not useful' in the same way that a 2000 word review could be utter drivel. I rate reviews well if I think they are useful in helping me make a buying decision about the product they are reviewing and not if it was better or worse than the review I just read that was on an entirely different subject. You simply can't say as much about a packet of crisps as you can about a holiday to Egypt and waffling is 'not useful' to anyone ..(I'm waffling now aren't I?)

Also one more thing.. I love the ads you find underneath some of the reviews. As I mentioned I'm been revisiting some reviews and under my 'General' review (the one all about me) there was adverts for The General on DVD (fair enough), a hack saw and a dildo...

Well that's about me!

Thanks for continuing to rate mine and I'll keep rating yours! Thanks for dropping by!
