BFTD Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 In my very limited experience of poetry, it's all in the reading. I know some folk can silently read through a book of verse and get something out of it, but it leaves me cold. I have, however, heard a few poets reading their work aloud, in the way they intended, and it was pretty impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don't recall calling you rattled tbh mate, apologies if so. Playing you're more bothered than me isn't much fun anyway. Still waiting for any evidence of "edgy" comedy being doomed because of people being offended by the way, whenever you're ready. If you've gotten over being offended by a joke that is.It's a forum full of strangers, I don't get offended m8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Which is correct. The 'o' being lower or uppercase is irrelevant, it's the 't' in there that infuriates me. Shouldn't be it QS then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done well, it's a far better way to express something than a comedian calling folk 'mongs' or whatever.Different strokes though, eh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
