THE BIG ISSUE
Anyone read the short story in this week's edition ?? It's absolutely gorgeous. Have just finished reading whilst scoffing my brie and tommyato sandwich. It's called Brothers in Arms by John Kirby and a sort of Kill Bill parody... wry, funny and clever - and I just love it.

no worries Tony...I know how busy you are reading all our uploads, hassling web guys and drinking coffee!!!!!!

While you're at it, Tony, any idea what their publications policy on short stories is? I know they don't want poetry.
I'm sure that out of the thousands on this site there'll be plenty good enough for publication which authors would be happy to provide for free.

I always like the paintings in The Big Issue, and most of the prose pieces.

...ye me to Hen...there's something about 'outsider' art that I really really ike ...and I use the term as my personal reference and to which I also include myself - and yes that's self congratulatory I know!!...but as I never take compliments seriously it will fly by and end up in the bin.
Liana which uni do you go to??always meant to ask.
and could I reproduce it here??????
hovis
yikes...like.....not ike.....
Liana
Lincoln Uni Hovis... I dont know whether you can repro it here.. I'd say yes, sure John wouldnt mind, but I'd check with Tony or Mark first...
Tony Cook
Sorry Hovis to be a while getting back to you.
I'll check with the Editor - it could be a problem as they are very touchy on copyright - quite correctly - but I will beg a special favour.
Apologies for the delay.
