Imagine if you had a problem and you could just contact your local agony aunt on the forum!
What would you ask her?
Why would you do it?
Does Dear Auntie to20 sound right?
who would you nominate for the Agony aunt position?
would you be Confused from Crookes, Bashful from Batemoor,Dopey from Dore or Eccentric from Ecclesall

I like this Idea!
To20 as an agony aunt! Male version of Ann Widdecombe springs to mind :D
I have no other input, allthough this thread deserves it
:thumbsup:

Great Idea. And you could nominate the person you need advice from - I'd choose Bazzo for Tina's Troubles as with his surreal take on things, you'd forget your probs instantly!

id do it! ive always been the agony aunt to most people, friends and family, so if needed, id be interested!

& who's going to be yours Mimicaze, I'll do it :)

hehe like ur style helen!! cunning!

Great idea
needing advice and not knowing who u can turn to or who u can truely trust is really hard
and i know only too well

I think I'd make a good agony unc.

Over the years I've done this role for more people than I care to remember.....

It's bloody hard work!!

My usual piece of advice to people now is couched in the form of a story about John Paul Sartre (insert your own existentialist philosopher).

JPS is sitting in the pub one day and a bloke walks in.
"You're the wisest man I know - I need some help with a personal problem," says the bloke.
"Fire away." says JPS.
"Well, I've met another woman and want to know whether I should run away with her or not."
"Well, " says JPS, " if you wanted to be told to chase away the floozy and stay with your wife, you'd ask your priest. If you wanted to be told to leave your wife and run off with the floozy, you'd ask a soldier. As you're asking me, I guess you want to be told to do what the hell you want...."

This advice is best given to people when both of you are drunk...:-)

I have seen many a personal problem posted on this forum, and a lot of people respond with their advice. Maybe the Sheff forum is effectively a collective agony aunt. there have been times when I have found it easier to discuss problems here as there is a degree of anonymity.

That's a good point, Andy!

Also the collective nature gives a 'blending' of experience and attitudes that a single Agony Aunt / Uncle / Cousin couldn't give.

Yup lots of different views and angles. We can pick and chose the ones that mean the most to us.

I know that someone on here will be able to help me with my little problem.

Ive been seeing this other woman for a few weeks now. We met at the shops and literaly bumped in to each other. That was it, hearts pounding e.t.c.

Since then we havent been able to keep our hands off each other and we are having the best sex in the world ever and it gets hotter and steamier each time.

But when I leave her on a morning to go to work her garden gate squeeks as I go through it. Could anyone advize me of a good quaility light oil that would stop the squeeking.

KY jelly might do the trick/:D :D

lol thats classic :thumbsup:

Not a bad idea.

But please NOT Mr "I'm better than you because I can spell and come from posh Ecclesall"!!

Even I'd be better as agony uncle.

I think the forum should be the agony aunt. With an 'Agony Aunt' section, any silly comments from this section would be removed, we all need different help, and 5000 people giving advice is better than one...

'To20 - Where should i move to...' ;)

Good Idea, that. Maybe if Geoff reads this he will consider it:)
