John Cooper Clarke 'Twat'


One of the bard of Salford's greatest moments to brighten up your Sunday. It turns out we know the subject of the bile in this poem. Trying to keep things as anonymous as possible, a friend of ours had a child the same time as our eldest was born. The father of the friend's child (father and mother are no longer together as a couple) shared a house with John Cooper Clarke way back when, and various events took place prompting the Salford Bob Dylan lookalike to write this about him. So many great lines in this poem- and as a bonus you can probably apply it to someone in your life as well.

  1. Sheer brilliance.

    He was supposed to be supporting the Fall a couple of tours ago, but was ill at the time of the Edinburgh gig and so didn't perform. I was really pissed of as I hadn't seen him live before.

  2. Does anybody know the pub in the picture? Looks like the sun inn on rigby street Salford
