I’ve listened to this last year and I have bookmarked this post but it looks like the video on vimeo isn’t avaiable anymore. Could you re-upload it please?
It would be such an insipiration for me!
Thanks for your thoughts and sharings, you really give me a lot of inspirations!

just a quick one – you may have found it difficult to format your post because you were pasting directly from Word

Have a look at this page

@Katherine Stanton,

I have altered this a little since I posted this version, I’ve personalized the protagonist and hopefully made it less self-righteous, but hopefully without loosing any of the edge or fervor. I’ll post the revised version soon.

I’m sorry if my incessant cynicism has cast a brooding cloud over your day. The least I can do is suggest an appropriately uplifting romcom to ease you from the doldrums.

How about Bringing up Baby with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn? It’s the perfect antidote to whiny northern oikishness, and Cary Grant was born in Bristol where I’m doing my residency, which in my case makes it research.

Well that’s my evening sorted.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen, it’s very much appreciated.

Hi Byron

Phew, this makes for uncomfortable listening – but it’s terrific stuff, and I definitely related to it, rather scarily! I am not sure about ’sugaring the pill’, exactly. For me, its relentlessness was its strength – it doesn’t let you shy away. And the humour (’powerpointless presentations’ is a great image) lifts it … I like your idea of humanising him, though.

Will check out your video now too. Might have to find solace in a rom com afterwards!

Katherine

@Lucy,

Thanks Lucy,

I’ve re written the piece with an ending that is hopefully bit less sanctimonious and bit more inclusive. I’m hoping to make the next piece a little less cynical and see if I can focus on the positive. What I’ve kind of done with this poem is highlight the negative without offering any solution, which is a bit self indulgent and something I feel I should make up for. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Hope you’re well x
