This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin

This poem was taught to me by my Dad, which is kind of meta. Also maybe ironic. Bonus fact: both me and my Dad went to Hull university, where Larkin was librarian. Indeed, the building housing the Library was called The Larkin Building when I was there - possibly still is.
Also, I think this really works in a Yorkshire accent.

Apologies for the sound quality on this; I have a bit of a cold AND I was recording on my mobile phone in bed, and I have just realised the mike was partially covered by duvet LOL oops.

You can all blame Educating Charlene for this post. She tagged me in a meme.

The people I have tagged are Steve Harris Fan, Mortisia, Vambo Rools, Andrew Ducker, Nick Barlow, AreMay, Liberal Burblings, The Rt Hon Trouble, The Blast Flyrant, Metrodoxy, and Bibliophile 1887. I don’t actually know if you guys have less than 200 folowers or not - I suspect a couple of you have lots more - but I’m actually so tumblr inept that I don’t know how to check :/

Oh yeah. I don’t expect you to reply in audio form, but you’ll have to listen to the audio if you want to hear your questions ;)

And yet an actual police box’s doors open inwards. The “pull to open” bit refers to the hatch for the phone, not the doors.

(and there goes my “I’m only going to post audio on tumblr” pledge…)

Sorry I haven’t updated for a bit; you know how it is when you’re poorly. Anyway, here’s the very sweary Tomb Raider “Commentary” I promised on my regular blog; back to reading stuff soon, I promise.
