Wow... just read this.
I agree with Phil. Very hot in every sense.

Discharge him now I've had my kicks

Superb!

Martin. Glad you didn't get it straight away and thank you for your very kind words. I have been telling people about your observation about brass rubbing in York. Still giggling!

If one engine broke you could be late... if the other one packed up you could be up there all day!
Loved it both in the written form and on your guitar with the blues-riff. Great stuff John

A great take on the impending football season.
Thanks for your kind words on 'Beach Fight'.
Maybe it was the wrong type of sand for the Health and Safety Executive.

They say football is played for 90 minutes by players pretending they're hurt while rugby is played for 80 minutes by players pretending they're not.

Now then, Graham.
Why oh why do we do it? Personally i think the close-season should be 11 months long. My nerves are in shreds from August to May. They should ban the fucking game.
Isobel - that was pure gold. But why did you have to post it on my blog. Mine is so amateurish in comparison.

thanks for the further comments on 'TILF' MC - 'formidable performance Poet?' - nah - I would prefer passionate about some, but not all, topics. But VERY passionate about looking after those who have so much to lose against those who do not. Interesting quote - and 75 years on from the second world war - we still do not learn eh?

Hello MC,
Glad you liked Ryan Air. Yes, I think I prefer to leave the self-pity, envy and class warfare to others. I'd rather celebrate life with a smile.
Actually, we do fly with Ryan quite a lot and, in fairness, they do get you there and back cheaply.

It was a toss up between apeman and caveman for the title but I think I went for apeman because however much we think we've evolved, we're still fairly ape-ish

I was more inclined to recall "Man In The Looking Glass" sung by Sinatra on his award
winning album "September Of My Years".
The subject matter of this post is always with
us - with the wisest taking the long term view
of que sera sera. Easier perhaps for men than
women but nature takes no prisoners.
I particuarly like the lines -
For the flicker
Of the life
Of a match
And then it is gone...

Sorry Ian, I must be slipping! But I do
appreciate your point of view, even if I do not
always (?!) agree with it. My suspicion is that you are a formidable presence as a "performing" poet.
Here's something to ponder:
In his tome "On War", the Prussian author Von
Clauswitz set out the German/Prussian position:
What cannot be won in war is to be won in the peace.
Now consider WW2 and the enthusiasm for the EU
- now largely run/led by...guess who??

fatigue with the posts of self-pity, envy and

this scandalously funny entry from a reliable

if it's been a while since I flew by any airline - and certainly not by the one you
immortalise so wittily.

just posted the following on 'an angel bathes in tears' - added there so folk won't get confused as those last 4 lines have gone - posted here as a personal thanks for your kind and insightful feedback:
"you're right Cynthia - after much deliberation (I feel like I've thrown one of my flock to the wolves) I've dropped those last 4 lines - and coming back to this poem now, I agree that the ending is stronger without those lines - thanks for the insight"

Hi Daniel
This grabbed me right away. I suddenly realised after the second verse what it was about. I love the lines 'grabbed the man by the oesophagus,then a big green crocodile turned up, and ran off with some sausages.'
Glad you liked the story about York.
Great stuff
