I'm not sure where Harry is coming from here - from three such disparate angles. The comments sound like a 'stung' response.
I don't accept your blanket statement about priests and nuns (applicable to all religious groups having similar 'orders'.) I think it is just as biased as the opposite. IMO, Extremes are never valid because they lack the potential argument of persuasion. But I do totally agree to the abolition of the four 'states' which are merely invidious mind-control of the masses.
I do enjoy your contributions.

Thank you, Greg! I hope you enjoy volume 3. Plenty of Write Out Louders, of course - it wouldn't be the best if it didn't have them.

Great account of what sounds like a great evening, Cathy. Wish I'd been there. I'm a southerner, but I understand the importance and impact of Best of Manchester Poets, I think. I really enjoyed vol 2, not least for the number of familiar Write out Loud names, and look forward to seeing vol 3. Greg

Disgraceful goings-on by the puritans of political correctness. I think we should be told who had a hand in it!!

Sustained enjoyable "pop" at a certain mindset. "Private Eye" would doubtless approve. Somehow, I wasn't surprised to see the words "Daily Mail" appear. Clearly, a huge circulation comes at a cost. Love the title of this poem!

With heartbeat trepidation
The ghastly tip begins
A check-up at the dentist's
Where she will know my sins.
On lazy oral hygiene
She pounces with derision
And punishes with great delight
By vicious drill's precision.
love your poem xx

Being appreciated by one's peers is heartwarming and never unwelcome, but another side to writing is celebrating the skills of other wordsmiths. I don't need to know what awards have been granted to a particular group of words to know whether I like them ( or Not)Indeed the self aggrandisement is more of a turn-off
One of the Joys of WOl is enjoying and being part of the cameraderie of the comments and repartee between like-minded folk.

Thanks to all for your lovely comments. I have been thinking lately that inspiration is very much about having the motivation and patience to allow those caverns in the back of our minds to give us access to our memories and thoughts. It's great when WOL gives us the opportunity to get this kind of lovely feedback.

Comment is about Anne Stevenson to judge poetry contest in aid of homeless (article)
Original item by Greg Freeman
Sorry to hear about you still being in pain. I must have been exceptionally lucky. I stopped taking the painkillers after 2 days. I WAS in pain, but it was such a different pain to the pain prior to the OP that I found it quite bearable and almost cathartic, especially as it got less and less each day, rather than worse and worse like the previous pain.
It's a very subjective thing I found. It hurt differently depending upon how I viewed it. Anyway, I'm still sure that you will eventually end up better off than before. I had a freaky experience after I got mobile again (about a week after the OP) when I became convinced that one leg was shorter than the other, however they measured them and proved that they weren't, it turned out to be my new posture and, having spent much of the previous 5 years limping and standing with all the weight on one leg I had become lopsided. Once I noticed that then I found that swimming, in particular, helped rebalance me, although you should only swim freestyle, not breaststroke because the leg kick is risky. Anyway, keep o keeping on!

I really have no issue with immigrants coming here to get work - you don't see our numpties showing the initiative to go abroad to find it! But it's become an issue "of which we dare not speak" without being branded a flog-'em-and-send-'em-back reactionary or a pinko-leftie-tree-hugger. We really need to reclaim the ground for informed and responsible debate.
On another front, there was a programme on the telly some little while ago which examined the DNA of a number of white english residents (including a prominent National Front/EDL figure) to find that all of them had a minority proportion of indigenous "english" DNA, as indeed do most of us.
