I tell you what, though - you don't get many conferences like that any more! ... But enough about that - I'm absolutely delighted to witness this unprecedented level of excitement from you about a poem! Big hugs!<br /><br />Martin - You just reminded me I am still a trustee of a charity in Liverpool - and it's always niggled me that everyone gets the same travel expenses (£2) whether you live in walking distance or have a 24 mile round trip involving either a £4 train fare or £2.80 in tunnel fees (plus petrol)... although since we no longer have any funding at all it's kind of academic now.

Roger McGough has just read a poem about a young lady with a green hat on a bus the day the world ends on Poetry Please and I'm excited because you introduced me to that very poem only a few days ago and if you hadn't I probably wouldn't have taken much notice because he didn't read it very well or rather not as well as he read it in my head when I read it here a few days ago and can you tell I'm exscited?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-33239920132790776382011-02-20T16:39:09.894+00:002011-02-20T16:39:09.894+00:00I know exactly how you feel.

I've been a volunteer with the Probation Service, Youth opportunity (don't make me laugh) Schemes, Adult Literacy, editor of various in-house publications, etc, etc. All very satisfying and rewarding but, almost without exception, each role eventually became unmanageable, and unaffordable. I didn't mind the work being unpaid but, hey guys, covering expenses isn't too much to ask, is it?Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-10098192566006733472011-02-20T12:13:05.885+00:002011-02-20T12:13:05.885+00:00The photo of the wheelie bin is all very well, but...The photo of the wheelie bin is all very well, but where's the one of you naked in a field in Gloucestershire?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.com
