Julian has now been sedated and is back in the rest home for disturbed comperes and latest reports suggest that he's nearly remembered who he is.

Meanwhile I can confirm the winners from last night's Valentine's extravaganza at the Tudor House, Wigan were (drum roll)...

Bravest poet - Amanda Milligan
Funniest poem - Darren Thomas
Most romantic poem - Val Cook
Best Gangsta poem - John Derby
Best Dressed poet - Tabitha Sims
Best overall performance - Anwen Lewis

Congrats to all the above and if you didn't win I can console you with the fact that the judging was wildly variable and anyway it was only a bit of fun....I think you all deserved a prize!

Remember that next month the Wigan event moves from the second to the fourth Thursday of the month (27th March) as part of the "Words 08" festival.

Check the gig guide for what Julian has planned for that one - assuming he's better by then.
