Re: WASP101 Gate

Coleridge definitely needed his opium (Christabel; Kubla Khan etc.); and roaring drunk Swinburne (Atalanta in Calydon etc.) later sobered up by Watts-Dunton was a shadow of the drunken Swinburne - and both (off their heads on their own choice of substances) were head and shoulders in the 'eternity stakes' above Faulkner and Hemingway; as well as the soberer Auden and Betjeman. Being spaced-out, for creative writing, can be an absolute necessity for some people to go that extra distance. Not always but it is an evident phenomenon.

Re: WASP101 Gate

You have obviously never been in a pain ward.  I translated an entire magazine article from Chinese into English in two days on ketamine using a pen and paper writing all the characters on paper, then in Pin Yin and then English.  Hmmm psychotropics and opoids......

Re: WASP101 Gate

Despite the risk of re-railing this thread (Is that an expression?) I note elsewhere a poll is proposed amongst Trads to vote if WASP101 should return.

Interesting that they think they get to decide.


======================================================


... And Hemmingway is still a bore to me !  wink

I used to read perfectly entertaining books by Evelyn Waugh as a boy which he always ruined for me by having the characters go abroad. Maybe that's my Hemmingway problem - too much 'local colour' which is of no interest to me. I've even resisted including a trip to my beloved Paris in my book. London is a big enough world without dragging in anywhere else.


What the world needs now is love, sweet love... And a jolly good kick up the harris.

Re: WASP101 Gate

Before you start knocking Hemingway, at least read enough at least to spell his name. You're like those types who knock 'Saville Row' and 'Henry Pool'. The nearest that they've gotten is the Mile End Road.

Re: WASP101 Gate

Back to WASP101 - The poll idea really interests me as being indicative of the i-Mentality: Everybody gets to have a say & then potentially gets to have a meltdown when their opinion gets discounted... I'm predicting a resounding 'NO, WASP101 should not return' - And what greater way to bring about its return? Richard's sense of humour is like that.

For the moment he is happy and well and still smiling. We still find much humour in the whole affair. A bit like 'JimmyGate' really.

WASPGate was a great exposé of the online world: All that petty nastiness and posturing laid bare... And all for a few snaps and the odd word or two on a blog. Powerful stuff, evidently !
