Last night a man called Nev Clay (who is folky sort of singer man) told me that I should be a writer. I am going to take this as a tremendous compliment. . . although I suspect the fact that it swiftly followed on from my telling him what exactly I didn't like about his poetry may point towards it simply being an alternative way to say 'fuck off'.

Some of his poems don't even rhyme all the time,
The folky swine,
Did he work down a mine?
No seriously did he work down a mine? Exposure to certain gases can lead to mild mental illness and that could explain his 'quirkyness' that the boys all seem to love.
Personally I think he's alright but not worthy of the God like status some impressionable boys have thrust upon him.
Anonymous chickens. I wasn't saying that I don't like it. I just told him that I don't like the line 'Last Exit to Charvertown' because I cannot understand why he ruins what is quite a touching protrait of working class life by using the C word. I was just being a belligerent drunk really: "you see it's making reference to Hugh Selby Jr's Last Exit to". . . "Aye, aye, I get that I just don't like it."
His name is Hubert Selby Jr., which is altogether more cool than Hugh.
I should point out that it is I, and not Nev, who has misremembered Hubert's name. Y'knaa that Humphrey Selby whatsit gadge.
Nev Clay is one of the finest writers i have met and is a gentleman of the highest order. You howver my girl licked my face when you were drunk and it made my cheek sticky and smell like cherries. Nev has never licked my face sober or otherwise, therefore shut it, he can do and say as he likes, cherry breath.
Hi Helen, just wanted to confirm that when I advised you to urinate or vacate the urinal, I meant that I'd like to see you writing poems and I'd like to read them (not that I'd like you to go forth and multiply).
I agree with Anonymous of 1.01pm's third paragraph - with regard to the second, no: does working in a call centre for four years count?
All the best,
Nev x
the call centre is calling you
wha?
Could Nev Clay possibly be the nicest man in the world?
I think so.
