Facebook reminded me of this sinister Vietnamese weeble containing a chiming lump of dull, grey metal. I passed it to the audience at a @FirstDraftMcr/@BadLanguageMcr/@realstoryuk Christmas event a couple of years ago and never saw it again. Presumed loose and haunting.

Very pleased to see my poem The Finger finally in print - in the rather mysterious Dreams & Nightmares magazine.
It was first commissioned AGES ago for @BadLanguageMcr's brilliant @MuseumsAtNight event @mcrjewishmuseum

I'm being made to co-host this tonight with @jpmdaly. You can come if you want, but you'll have to sit in the corner facing the wall. Er... I mean... Hey everyone, come to Bad Language tonight, it's going to be grand!
We'll be spending tomorrow's Bad Language in the company of QuietManDave prize judges Kate Feld and Tania Hershman - look how sunny they are! - and our shiny shiny open mic.
