A bit sleepy
(Attention: This entry contains bad language. I guess so.)
A Turkish poet says "Swearing is the spice of the language." No, he doesn't say that, that's my lousy translation. He actually says "Küfür lisanın tuzu biberidir."
That's a clever simile. We don't like it if it's too spicy, yet we don't like it plain too. One should learn how to use swearwords properly, otherwise it just grates on your ear.
Anyways, I like John Cooper Clarke and this is my favourite poem by him. Though "Twat" rocks too. Read aloud.

Thank you, I've just learned a new very useful word. I can't wait to use it.

You've probably seen this too. To help you learn English with an Irish accent, of course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVlNZ3SIPbo

Odd that I know this poem too. But I still have a long way to go.

I live between Liverpool (great) and Manchester (sad). Hope we can see JCC together ! But why stick to popular culture? How about one of our famous poets: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178055

kevinzim, we'll get along well. My plan was to visit my friend in manchester but he is not my friend anymore. *sigh* Where do you live in England? Maybe I can manage to visit you someday. Hope JCC will be still alive.
