All words double-checked, silence spaces measured. Right at 86dB on Checker. :thumbs:
:mrgreen: you are going to great lengths here, I see, Mike. Thank you, it was a wonderful narration and quite a moralizing tale. ;)

Concerning 86 dB, actually we accept between 86 and 92 dB, it doesn't have to be 86 on the dot. In fact we usually try to aim for a good average of 89 :lol: so that the differences in the sections are not too great. So 3 dB more would have been perfect, but no worries, 86 is accepted so you don't have to reupload.

Something else though, concerning the intro silence: at the beginning, we recommend between 0.5 and 1 second of silence maximum, (see first post). Everything longer is too long for a reader to wonder whether anything is on the file ;) you have nearly 3 seconds here, so if you had any other errors in the text, I would have asked you to cut this a little be down to under 1 second. As the rest was flawless, I will not make you reupload just for a bit of silence. Just wanted to mention it for future recordings.

Thank you, I'll mark it PL ok.

hey Allen, long time not seen 8-) great that you still keep tabs on the Rover project. Section 9 is yours and thank you for making us fully claimed. Which means I will start the next volume soon.

An odd poem but quite funny :lol:
:? indeed, this poem somehow was creepy...it was probably an incident that happened at uni and nobody could explain this man. It sounds to me like some sort of urban legend monster. :shock:

The poem is PL ok though, thanks Alan !

Quite a funny story :lol:
:lol: indeed, but it was a bit predictable. I wonder if the soldiers waiting for their turn ever got in after this confession.

Thank you, perfectly narrated, very entertaining and PL ok :)

:9: aww what a wonderful and entertaining story. I like Mitford's style a lot. She conjures up the British countryside and life so extremely well. There should be more stories by her. Wonderfully narrated as well, Steve, it was really a pleasure to listen to. Especially the end scene with Monsieur l'Abbé was very funny. :lol:

Absolutely flawless and PL ok. Thank you so much for your participation in the Rover and I hope I hear you in another issue one day. 8-)

thank you, again, what an excellent story. Probably based on a true event ? :hmm: I found it a bit strange that the three sailors would simply stay in port so long to rouse suspicion :lol: why didn't they leave earlier, then nobody would have enquired after them.

It's totally PL ok, thanks :)

see you in the next Rover ;)
