If it’s any help...
What I do is write everything down (the facts, size, name, money, time, looks, services, shite or otherwise comms admin and towel on the bed) plus a memo of how I feel.
Then I see how I feel about the whole experience a day or two later.
Write it up, if I can be bothered, a decent period after that.
By then I have a feel of whether it was a shit, great or more-or-less (ie neutral) punt. For the money I’m paying I expect to feel fucking great, during and afterwards, so that is the prime requirement for a positive. Being honest with myself is the only way I can be honest in a way that might help other punters. I have no control over what they deprive themselves of (at considerable expense!!!) or whether they enjoy the same things as me. As this is UKP, I honestly don’t give a rat’s arse about the feelings of the prossie when she reads it of course — for me to do so would be a conflict of interest on my part. (I’m polite and very pleasant with her in my communications with her but UKP does not count as communications with her — she reads at her peril).
I respect HP even though he has kinda weird tastes by most folk’s standards; but he’s a long time contributor and I find him honest and sincere. If he (or anyone else) finds these comments worthwhile, great. If not, well i tried!
