Really sorry to hear about your mum in law, Steve - that must be a huge strain on the pair of you. I hope she makes a recovery and one that involves quality of life. Look forward to seeing you at some point. Give my regards to your wife.

Hi Steve - haven't seen or heard from you in a long time. Don't know if you are aware of the walk a few of us are going on at the week-end. Since it is over your way, I thought I'd give you a nudge - Dave Bradley, Julian, Deborah, Winston - to name but a few, will be going on it. All the details are on the homepage. It would be good to see you and hear some more of your black humour! x

Hi Steve - thanks for your comment. You are a trooper coming to the Tudor - testimony to just what a great venue it is! Thanks for doing the Jump poem for me - it is very original - amazing what we can make out of little experiences like that - though if I'd known it was a real life story originally, I probably wouldn't have chuckled quite so much! I won't be compering next month - so I shall be even more rat arsed - unless I draw the driving short straw.
Look forward to catching up. xx

Hiya Steve – thanks for taking another look at Iconic. Yes – I think it needs more than one read to fully understand – I didn’t appreciate that at first. I’ve started telling people who the icons are now before I perform it so they have time to get the references (John Lennon, Lady Di, Marilyn Monroe, JFK, Che Guevara, Martin Luther King). I wanted to get Elvis in but it would have been too much of a squeeze ;)
Sorry you can’t make Thursday – Christmas does get manic with dos to go to – though I’m not too bad this year. Will look forward to seeing and hearing from you in the New Year – your stuff always makes me laugh! Take care and have a good one. xx

Thanks for your support Steve. Sorry you can't make it but the more people I have there in spirit, the better!
I LOVE your pub poem. I'd have been gutted if the Original Oak had been demolished - one less bowling green didn't quite hit me the same LOL. I loved the historical allusions in yours. It makes you realise how impermanent we really are - which is sad but so true. I'm glad you shared it with me.
Great that you can make the Tudor. I'll be doing both my slam pieces cos I have one sister who can't make it too and she wants to hear them live.
See you there. x

That's a very serious mug shot you've got up there Steve - you look like something out of a police line up LOL
Thanks for paying my profile a visit. It was great meeting you at Wigan - I'm glad you enjoyed it. Glad someone agrees with me about serious v funny poetry also. Having said all that, I would like nothing more than to be able to write funny poetry - it is so hard to do well. The best tonic ever for me is laughter - it can lift me right out of any grumpy mood I might be in. If you can tap into the right market with good witty poetry you could probably make more money out of it than you could serious stuff...but then we probably start to stray into comedy rather than poetry...
Look forward to seeing you around on the scene. x
