TinaTina   10 #26 Posted June 19, 2007 I think Henry Normal is from Sheffield/Chesterfield. He's of a similar ilk. He later co wrote hit shows including the royal family & Mrs Merton show with Caroline Aherne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

paulcrofts   10 #30 Posted June 21, 2007 Have just read in a national rag that Alex from Arctic Monkeys is teaming up with John for the lyrics for a single???  Makes sense. I've seen something about him being influenced by JCC. Here's a quick bit of Johnny Clarke from his website.  Tom Jones  Back in town in a black Rolls Royce The funky hunky housewive's choice In one fact he can rejoice His trousers don't affect his voice.

Bushbaby   11 #33 Posted March 6, 2012 I'd like to revisit the "What happened to Mark Miwurdz?" question. During the early 80', on Channel 4's "The Tube", Mark was a breath of fresh air with his satyrical lyrical rants, and it woold be great to know if he's still pushing the stuff out.  There should at least be a compendium of his works if there's any justice.

nortonlees15 Â Â 10 #35 Posted March 8, 2012 T**T! yes it must be ace to be able to describe ex's and people who you dont like in general with words like that! JCC is awesome he played the univ last april, As for markmywordz i remember going to the tv show the tube in the 80s when he was on, and after the show seeing him stood at a bus stop waiting for a bus to take him to the train station,nowt like fame! Â My brother was a fan of him in the 70's he had one of his LP's (what the heck are they?) One of my favourite bits of a poem I can remember was one which I think was aimed at an ex which went:Â Like a death at a birthday party You spoil all the fun Like a sucked and spat out smartie You're no use to anyone. Â and a bit that went: Â You make life a fairy tale ........Grim!
