YouKay...made me chuckle!

Favourite thing of 2010? Rediscovering who I really am and writing more than I have for years.

Doing it because you LOVE it is so important. Unfortunately some people self publish to "be cool", "avant-garde" and to be "in with the scene". I have seen and met these assholes. Zines...hmmm...some are great and some are just overly packed with images that the words never speak for themselves.

Self publishing? Zines? What are your thoughts about poets and writers publishing their own works and also the revival of zines where it seems anything goes!

I am not too keen on the woman in it though, the guys are just hilarious! Manny is very funny indeed.

Yes I live in the UK so I saw this when it was first aired and still watch re-runs, it is very very funny!

she's not his type hahah!!

The lack of enthusiasm for books from some of the people working in book shops is shocking, they hate being there...hey why not get yourself to another job and have someone there who really does give a shit about literature?? Get your Twilight wearing t-shirt ass out of here and let me in damn...

Women is my favourite by far!! Writing in cafes? I used to do it a lot and loved observing people, I tend to carry a notebook and jot down observations (due to my job I don't get the time to sit before work) and then I write mostly at weekends. more applicants than jobs..oh don't I know it.

the smell of books and just working with them...how exciting! I am jealous.

I would love to work in a bookshop

As disruptive as it is I am quite lucky because I get moved every few months because I am on temp contracts, so I am also getting fresh inspiration.

I work in a place where we deal with people in crisis - health, childcare, homes etc but weirdly they are not the ones I draw inspiration from, it is usually the people I work with in the office who are just odd people haha

thank you yes although I find the bizarre people I meet in work are actually great characters too...

I like that...
