By which I mean not Radio2 but Radio4.... and I'm not talking about Long Wave and Test Match Special, but regular FM..... Anyway, I'm digressing.
Last night I was listening to the aforementioned Radio4 because I had nothing else having finished off my Jasper Fforde book (The Well Of Lost Plots) and they had a Poetry Slam on. Not just any old Poetry Slam, but the 2007 Radio4 Poetry Slam Final!!
Now for those of you, like me, who have never heard of such a thing the idea is that a bunch of poets perform a two minute poem of theirs, they all get marks on perfomance and the best go through to the next round. As usual two of my favourite poets were knocked out in the first round and then my sole remaining favourite poet then finished second. Needless to say that the winner (and the guy who finished third) were rubbish but shouting at the radio didn't do a lot.
