Yesterday I celebrated my 18,933rd day on whatever planet this is by taking part in my first ever rap cypher. It was an amazing experience... for me... with apologies to everyone in the crowd - thanks for tolerating my shoutfest. Listening back to the recording is cringe beyond belief!

Thanks to the crew for putting on a cracking event. The quality of everyone else was amazing.

Personal highlights for me were blistering sets by and . I also properly enjoyed - in particular his take on The National Anthem.

But what a night.

How's your resolution to get out and about more going? Beat the January blues... just a fiver for an evening's entertainment. Support local acts - some of us will be good! (Also, some will doubtlessly be utter filth... you have been warned...)

Thanks to and for putting me on to this fabulous project.

I wrote the poem just before I started working for on their Positive Energy project promoting Carbon Monoxide safety. It's a stupid poem with a serious message.

We did it again! Can I Have A Word... Episode 2. It was a poetry takeover at The Attic in Totton last night.
