Amy McAlister smashing it out the park, who I think won it, with a Sainsbury’s carrier bag on her head. I seem to remember the others went all-out with it. I don’t remember much about that first gig, other than feeling I wasn’t that great, despite going into it confident. Large up Paula Varjack and Dan Simpson for pulling me back in for this anniversary addition, ticket link at the bottom of this. It was somewhere in Bethnal Green I think. I first performed at this gig ten years back, in what I believe was the first one in London before it went on to become much bigger and tour. For those unfamiliar, it’s a satirical poetry event where you have to perform your best-worst poem the worst one on the night wins. I will be performing on the 31 st October, at the Pleasence Theatre in North London, for the annual Anti-Slam Halloween event. A little bit of news before I introduce this week’s story. Apologies to the Catholic communities of Horley and Crawley who had to scrape off the short-crust! And also, as an avid mince-pie eater what a shameless waste! The day of judgement will come, no doubt.Īlas, we crack on, though. Me and a couple of other little tykes, snuck out some mince-pies from the church hall and went round the carpark inserting them into cars. This time of year makes me think of someone shoving a potato up a car-exhaust which in turn makes me think of an old memory from years back at some sort of school Christmas carol concert, at St John’s church in Crawley. I don’t know if it’s this gloomy weather but I’ve feeling off-kilter all week, tired one-minute, stressed the next.

Question is who’s next and where can they take it? Not sure how I feel right now, but we all know it weren’t going anywhere. It’s been a strange old week, what with the all the madness in the wider-world right now, and the earth-shattering news that Gary Rowett has left Millwall by mutual consent.

Large up Nat, The Shamen and my old part-time partner in rhyme, Boogaloo Dee aka Boogbuster Video. Large up Ganley’s in Morden, where the seed of this idea was born a few years back. Patrons of the Lager Verse we gather, and let our collective hair down (what’s left of it) which is what Lager Time is all about. My name is Paul Cree, and yes indeed, it is Lager Time.
