Numpty Of The Week

Posted on 18 July 2007 by DeanHunt

numpty

I am not sure if the word “numpty” is used outside of the UK, so just incase, here are some possible replacements:

idiot, fool, prat, joker, moron

You get the picture.

So here is the story: this morning I was having my morning surf of the net, when I came across an article that promised to teach me how to write really great articles. Superb! I have had my content discussed in over 17 languages, but there is always room for improvement.

So I clicked on this life changing article and it took a while to load, I was nervous, the suspense was killing me… I now know how Gary Glitter feels when he is waiting for the school bell to ring at 3pm.

The page finally loaded and I was ready to get stuck into the advice that would change my article writing forever.

Then I was hit my the cold hard realisation that the writer was not infact some writing prodigy sent from heaven, but a complete numpty!

The article was awful, clearly the writer writes for adsense and not an audience.

So what can we learn from this? Well, I have learnt one valuable lesson that I feel it is my duty to bestow upon you lovely readers:

Lesson of the week: Never look for writing advice from an article entitled “Write a Readable Articles

You couldn’t make it up!

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
