Congrats to him and John this month!
Ah, no wonder I thought I'd seen that poem before! I didn't imagine it, after all. Congrats Basil. And you, too, John. And Jayne, too, of course!

Aha! And Nick Syrett is Bill Greenwell, then. Congrats, Bazza. Yours is - just - better than mine.

Default yippee!

Well done, John, & thanks for the magnanimous compliment. Self-portrait, eh? A nice one for us narcissists.

Well...Bazza - you little devil, you!

Which one is the real you - Basil Ransome-Davies, Iain Colley or even A N Other...?

Congratulations to all of you, anyway!!! You're a legend, mate.

And well spotted, eagle-eyed Julie.

Default prosodic solipsism

You're dead right about 'gate'& 'gait', John, & the offence is compounded by featuring it in the opening couplet, fah crissake. So what does that say about the LitRev judging here?

Default foolish slip

I of course meant 'solecism'. Must get off the Harvey Wallbangers. Though solipsism may also be involved.
