Heather

Do you actually work for a living Marty ?????

Go on I'm waiting for it.


Bob

Then we won't see you so much hey Marty!

Private sector ?????? sound a bit official you are not going into a pub are you old friend old buddy old pal.


Bob

Ok ok ok I heard you the first time.

Gonna cull your writing time ???

Bob

Think of it like a car Mate.

Brighten up the chrome wherever it is a bit dull (GIVE IT A PUNCH LINE OR A TWIST IN THE TAIL).
Check that all the screws (PUNCTUATION) are in the right spots - missing ones might cause things to drop off and tighten up any loose ones for the same reason.
Make sure the tank is full and that it is heading in the right direction,(IS THE STORY LINE CLEAR) wandering off or taking short cuts never saves time.
Touch up any stone chips (SPELLING, NON RHYMES, SIGHT RHYMES, METRE),
Cut out any surface rust (THOSE BACK TO FRONT THINGIES NEVILLE DON'T LIKE)
and then when you have done all the basics and it is pretty schmick ( 9 OUT OF 10)
Give it coat of wax to make it SHINE (10 OUT OF 10)


there you go Marty - bloke talk

Yea well done Marty, and quick of the mark as well.
