Talk about something you learned from James Fearnley's book

Post Fri Mar 16, 2018 9:13 am

I learned that "poguetry" is two puns in one. I always thought it was just a pun on poetry because of the "in motion" part, but in the book it says that Frank Murray liked it as pun on "purgatory."

Anyway, what are some things that stick out for you, no pun intended! (those who've read the book can guess what I mean by that... :roll: )

How about 'factually incorrect?' I loved reading Here Comes Everybody.....James admitted he wrote it from memory.I know for a fact that Kirsty did not perform on the 1990 German tour,that would have been in MAY 1988.......it was the last century! Time really does play tricks on the memory, but i have photographic proof and a diary,of sorts.

Thanks, Villajohn. It would be great to see your photos if you're able to share them anytime. 8)
