I think I hate him, but I can't remember why. I might be mixing him up with someone else.

I think I'm getting him confused with some ~~other~~ professional northerner who occasionally pops up on things like Marc Radcliffe radio show or something.

To be fair, after the years of training i got at school I automatically turn off when I hear poetry. sad yes

My friend's husband was forced to be part of the panel that chose him.

He secretly hates poetry and kept telling the woman who roped him in that he didn't really know much about poetry, but she kept saying "but that's exactly why you're perfect", so he was cornered. Tee Hee

To be fair, I've not read a copy since about 1988.

And then it was an copy from 1976. From when it was good. yes

Was it genuine American MAD, or the British version with really crap cultural translations crudely pasted onto the cartoon captions?

Don Martin is a God.

Spy vs. Spy was ace as well.

I could never decide if I liked Spy vs Spy vs Spy (with the glamorous grey lady spy) better, or not.

I remember having one where they were going on about the n*dism craze and they'd pasted Brighton beach all over where it was that it first caught on in the US.
