Circular diagram split into two equal halves. The left half is shaded light blue and labelled 'THE POEM', while the right half is unshaded and labelled 'THE POET'. The word 'POETRY' appears in large curved text across the bottom of the circle, spanning both halves.

Still image of the nighttime beach scene from the Barbie Movie with Ken and Barbie sitting by a fake campfire. He plays a guitar while facing her, who sits across from him. The ocean is visible behind them under a starry sky, and pink text above the fire reads '4 hours later...'.

Was it flirty? Was she simply lost in the moment? Imagine the guitar scene in the Barbie Movie with the roles reversed.

Either way, it was all academic. We hadn't spoken before and we didn't follow it up. Who knows what could have been?

I suddenly recalled tonight that I was once serenaded with the Brenda Russell track Piano in the Dark by a girl in the school year below me.

Her piano-playing and singing were spot-on. However, it was the intense eye contact for the entire song that I still don't know how to interpret.

I've taken time to mool this over, but it's a rather dool idea.

Can we buy an Egg Trap from Shop Man?

I'm quite enjoying imagining these two as Mark and Sophie from Peep Show, complete with snarky internal commentary on both sides.

I actually said out loud, 'DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN,' when I read the relevant part of the article.

This hits it right on the head, just like she should wallop him on the head.

[Through gritted teeth] I suppose opposites attract.

'... or to hear these options again, press 0.'

As someone who ran a poetry open-mic for nine years, I feel this intensely.

One technique that makes my eyebrow twitch is the forced use of words at the end of every second line just so they rhyme with the one above it.

Opinions Too Unpopular to Monetise A blog about pop culture, software development and poetry.

Further to looking at my new book cover, I wrote about getting the book published

A Vision Most Absurd At The Picture House By Gavin Cameron Oh Dundee, city of culture and light, I ventured forth on a Saturday night,  To a cinema grand on the old Seagate, To witness a film at a quarter past eight. Called “ Monty Python and the Holy Grail, ” I thought it perhaps an Arthurian tale. But alas! What comedy now was seen On the bright and silver screen. A knight mimed a horse to the claps of a shell,  And was told his father of elderberries did smell. A rabbit leapt forth with murderous bite, And slew brave men in the midst of their plight. A knight said, “ Ni! ” with terrible force, And demanded a shrubbery, of course. I gasped aloud, “ This cannot be right! ” For never before had I seen such a sight. Yet still I stayed, through jest and quip,  Whilst pop-corn I ate and drinks I sipped. I pondered the question, in which I did wallow, Whether 'twas a laden or unladen swallow.

A few months ago, my poetry circle – The Wyverns – released a pamphlet on the theme of the great man. I wrote this one with the following blurb:

'An imagined scenario which completes the circle of William McGonagall influencing Spike Milligan, then Milligan influencing Monty Python.'

Being from Dundee, I was exposed to McGonagall from an early age, but I really enjoyed the Stephen Pile books.

I'll never forget the story of Clive Bunyan who robbed a bank wearing a helmet with his name on it, nor Ivan Lester Maguire who skydived wearing his camcorder kit instead of his parachute.

Stage Presence and Off-Stage Presence The other week, I was listening to the BBC radio programme Desert Island Discs from 2018., where Lauren Laverne was interviewing the comedian Alan Carr. I'll say upfront that I'm ambivalent about his work. I enjoy watching it if I happen to catch him on TV, but it's unlikely I would deliberately seek out gig tickets. Although he's known for stand-up comedy, he made a remark early in the programme about how he doesn't watch other comics because he doesn't enjoy it.

New blog post: Stage Presence and Off-Stage Presence.

I think we should run a re-enactment at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.

Banking apps should have a whimsical Animal Crossing mode that shows your funds in bells rather than sterling.

I'll ring Guillermo del Toro and see whether he's interested after his bash at Frankenstein.

I actually do use a text-to-speech reader for the weekly Dump Him, Girl articles. That way, I can listen while I log into work.

Yesternight, I suddenly remembered the 1990s version of this, which was a track by the Cisco Kid with one terrible gag:

Canadian Basketball Player Can Use ‘F-Word’ Last Name For one college basketball player in Alberta, the f-word is not a profanity — it's his last name.But for the past two years, Guilherme Carbagiale F**k has

This reminds me of a Canadian basketball player from about ten years ago. His last name was a rude word, and he was finally allowed to have it printed on his shirt.

I look forward to your exhibition, called Bon Artpétit.

I've thought about your question, and I'm sure he can find a Cure for it.

The phrase 'You said, we did' has a secret middle clause, which is 'someone wilfully misinterpreted'.

Not to mention how it can be sung to the tune of Mandy.

I've just done the same. Could it fit any more squarely into the Generic 80s Rock Ballad genre?
