That explains the bangs; I was imagining a very hairy baby!

Well, you learn something everyday. I get the image now - initially I was thinking soemthing like formaldehyde, which I could tell was very wrong.

'I've never heard of', I meant. Jeez my typing.

Um, thanks! I am couldn't-care-less-about-the-whole-fox-question. there are so many more important things to worry about. I think the govt has latched onto fox hunting as an issue because it can rely on large swathes of the idiot British public to go 'aah fluffy animals' and another swathe to go 'ugh kill animals' and for both sides to completely foregt the things in our country that are really falling apart. As for me, I wouldn't go fox-hunting myself but I don't object to fishing, pheasant shooting or eating meat, so how can I really make a moral issue out of other people's rather weird idea of fun?

I like this, 'wittle' and all, but what's naugahyde? You have a habit of writing poems referring to things I've heard of!

Short and sweet.

A different colour with every line - the effects really accumulate - smashing

Can you get me a rhinestone cowboy suit while you're there? A white one with a big hat? Thanks.

Yeah I don't understand that. There's some fiendish weighting system that gets applied to new poems that i think only nentwined understands.

An little element of comedy in the middle (the people's non-superficial injuries)- i'd like to see more of that. I wonder if you need the last two lines? The atmosphgere of this I like

Is this a song lyric? For some reason it sounds like one

I don't see the UA Fanthorpe connection either, but I do see Shaggy.

Great stuff - reality, fantasy, pain, recognition.

You can have a drink in the Jamica Inn that du Maurier wrote about. She lived around there so I think Manderly is based on a real place (but can't remeber where). If you liked Malory you should definitely go to see Tintagel - the castle, supposedly Arthur's birthplace, is amazing, all rocks and crags and cliffs now with the ruined walls cropping out above.

Lovely, just one typo- 'autumn'. I like the last four lines especially.

The Crown. It's pretty good - it's in Cricklewood in NW London. The best pub in the world is the Blisland Tavern in Cornwall, but that is no way local.

Fantastic. So you know ESB etc as a professional. Much respect to you. That stuff requires care and attention if it's going to be served properly. Oooh I am really hankering for a pint now. And a game of darts. But not unemployment.
replying on Entropy by knickytoy 2 Oct 2002, 7:36 AM
No, bars are not right for ESB. You must have been to Britain at some point I would guess.
replying on Entropy by knickytoy 2 Oct 2002, 7:27 AM
You're my kind of girl. I shall have two to celebrate. Whereabouts do you get your ESB?
