John Hurt played it with style

I really enjoyed this evening with Quentin Crisp - An Englishman in New York :) John Hurt plays him so well there really is no barrier to belief. And he plays him with great humanity, which was a mark of the man himself. I remember seeing QC on stage some 30 years ago and it is a night I have never forgotten.

Prepare to be cosy


I trimmed the tree and put up lights and prepared to be cosy for the wee dark days before Christmas

Pay Pal

Re:Every Day Poets

This reply to a contributor from Camille, flagged up something I didn't realise was happening.

PAY PAL changed their fee structure without notifying anyone and has been skimming off $0.30 plus 2.9% of the paid amount. This was not the case when Every Day Poets was launched, We would love to walk away from PayPal altogether, but at the moment it’s really our only option for making payments in international currencies and is materially affecting both our operating costs and our business processes.

When did this start? I have to say I'm really disgusted. Mind you, if payment is made by cheque, it's the same story. So every way we look the 'bankers' win!
