Hear me out. Eastenders but everyone's poets. Open mic in the Queen Vic hosted by Ian (McMillan). There's always a Submittable email before the doof doofs. At Christmas, you have to work out who's shagging. Carol Ann Duffy stars. Her catchphrase is Get Outta My Pub(lishing House).

Hear me out. The Traitors but everyone's a poet. The missions are all tasks from The Artist's Way. Every day someone gets a rejection. John Cooper Clarke is Claudia. The winner gets published in a print only magazine and invited to read on Guernsey. Travel will not be covered.

Some of you might know my #WHGIKNZ comic strips. The first ‚anthology‘ was published as a piccolo some years ago. Now I received a letter from Japan as the second ‚anthology‘ has been risoprinted on thick paper for the #ZineDayOsaka Zine Gatya!
If you‘re interested in a copy, just give me a shout!

A great do indeed. Lovely beer, lovely venue and a lovely audience. The guest speakers weren't bad either...
Talking all things football and literature.
Cheers all!
