Quote: awrigley, Thursday, 25 Mar 2010 16:02Do all unpublished old drunks from Croydon still think that they're cool? I have this image of Lawrence at music concerts, arms raised, cigarette lighter in hand, exploding in a blue flash as he sets fire to his own farts, to the relief of the gagging teenagers behind him. He probably has a pony tail too, as greasy as a rat's arse. 1979? I was too young to know if I was miserable or not back then. I think those behind him might be more concerned not to be singed/seared, rather than being relieved.

Ain't he the groooooviest? Get a room, you two.

Give the plonker a break, dammit. Just let him let it all out: there's a huge audience gagging for more.

My sympathies to Mr Poole for his illness, there are better ways to seek attention.
Memory... What was that?

Funny as I seem to recall we had the whole story of your own serious illness on the site not long ago. One rule for moi...

Lawrence You can take it how you like, but as sympathy goes it is genuine. I wish no ill on you or others, nor do I find misfortune funny. I had only just noticed the reference to your illness... do you think I have time to write posts AND read them? Perhaps the 'attention seeking' throw away line was unnecessary, but it took the sugar out of it. anyway, ten quid says I had more antibiotics than you...

What would YWO do without you, Andrew? And I've got to have a sleep anyway.

I will tell Helen to play Lullaby on the piano. (60 litres, by the way).

Quote: eileenmac, Sunday, 21 Mar 2010 11:34 Had she really experienced that amount of violence from her father, she would not be alive today to tell the tale. I'm sorry to be so cynical but I do wonder just how many of these books actually told the truth. Eileen, your naivety is impressive in this day and age. As a professional foster carer, let me assure you that these books represent only the tip of the iceberg. You are entitled to close your eyes to all of this but it doesn't make it go away. These books can't actually tell you all that goes on - they're telling you only a part of the story. It's actually far, far worse. Such books are fictionalised, but they are not fiction.

Well said, madeinwood. Where there is a book, there is a child who at least survived. The tip of the iceberg? Yes. That book should be taken as a positive, not a negative.
