Judie Worrell is very bitter towards George Clinton. She'd been updating Bernie's FB page. It didn't make for very pleasant reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like poetry (in fact I've just come back from a shopping trip with a copy of C. Day Lewis's collected poems). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He's very good but difficult so he never really had a popular appeal unlike some of his contemporaries. Very good on WWII and England. They released his collected in a massive tome called 'Broken Hierarchies' a few years back, but there is a smaller Penguin selected which you can get for a few quid. Certainly worth checking out. If you are interested in poetry but his own work is a bit much, then his Oxford lectures are online and worth a listen.

dAVe80 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Actress Caroline Aherne dies of cancer aged 52 Quote Actress and comedian Caroline Aherne has died after a battle with cancer, her publicist has said. The BAFTA-winning writer and actress, 52, was best known for Mrs Merton, The Fast Show and The Royle Family. She was also the narrator of the Channel 4 reality series Gogglebox. In 2014, she spoke of her fight against lung cancer while attending an event in Manchester joking about it being the third time she had faced the disease. My brother and I were born with cancer of the eyes, the retina, my mum told us only special people get cancer. I must be very special because I have had it in my lungs and bladder as well. – CAROLINE AHERNE Last updated Sat 2 Jul 2016 Shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
