Thank God for Bukowski...

Yeah I do love it, been to the Dirty Duck many times, I have a competition going with a friend at who can get their photographs on the wall the longest before the realise we aren't famous.

Ha ha go for it Roni!
 
I couldn't have my pic on the wall, would scare the shit out of the patrons.
What do you do in Stratford then? Act? Seems that's the place for it. Good old Shaky and that!

And what's sulkpot?
 
Silkpig - When I was a kid my mum used to call me 'Sulkpotbennagnag' if I was sulking after we went to see Aladin one time and there was a similar named character. Over the years of being on the internet it's difficult to find a name that you can use my real name is Angela, so I just use Sulkpot as it's always available!

I could tell you what I do but then I'd have to kill you haha.

Actually I work on computers, rather boring and uncreative but it pays the bills.

I wouldn't want to be an actor, I bloody hate them. I did Theatre studies at college and everyone was an idiot. Here you hear them talking and they just make me laugh. Talk about a bunch of protentious prima donna's. I like to wind them up by asking what they thought of 'The Taming of the Shrewd', they feel all superior when I get the name wrong but I usually end the conversation which quoting a load of Shakespearean monologues and that normally wipes the smile off their faces.

Don't get me wrong, most of the people in Stratford are nice, well educated people but Bukowski would have a field day with some of them.

Why you called Silkpig?

(ps:
how about 'The Taming of the Screwed'?)
 
'Taming of the Screwed', I like that I'll try that one next time.

I have also tried 'A midsummer nights murders' and 'A Comedy of Terrors'.

I love Italics You ever read 'The Temper' About some wizardy dude who is angry and smashes toy boats up for his daughter or summat...?

You damn right about the field day he would have there. I visited the place when I was studying music and the head of the performing arts course took me there to inspire me. It worked but I couldnt shake the 'I am from the council estates and don't deserve this' mentality so i guess the inspiration was short lived. I realise now that thats bullshit but then... thats another story. She had me doing plays for her because I was so nervous as a musician and I kinda had a baptism of fire to get used to being on stage you know? Trust me, after you've stood on stage and quoted a 3 page monologue from Richard III with loadsa people watchin, gettin up with a guitar and singin ya heart out is a walk in the park. It gave me perspective but some of the conversations I'd hear, made me want to throw up ' oh luvvie luvvie luvvie daaaarling daaaarling' 'Bleurgh!'
