It's that bloody Joe Root . . . even though he looks like an elfin-faced 13 year old lesbian the bloke's got a bit of mongrel and can bat. It seems ever since Davey Warner gave him a clip in that Birmingham bar a few years back he hasn't taken a step backwards.
That's my synopsis Nev. Poetic?

When you write literature you engage with reality metaphorically, figuratively, lyrically. A poem is not a photograph

Yes, he started a few ambitious projects but usually didn't finish them, that's how I know I'm a genius like him, I do the same.
