Hi;

I met Seamus Heaney today... and well; I thought that was quite an interesting experience given who he is and all... plus I'd never met a nobel prize winner before.
Some experiences are really enriching and good fun too...
I was just wondering if anyone had any they'd like to share :)

He's a necrophilliac.
Just take a close look at those peat bogs he keeps flapping on about.
You can have that for nothing jaded;)

Well....
Thats more of an interpretation of his work than a statement of physical fact but who knows what he gets up to in his spare time.

Ha, I told my teacher and he said that critics think he is a necropheliac because he seems to be obsessed with dead bodies. He may or may not have actually carried out the act, I think he did, these author types are weird.
