Summary

*This is part two of John Cooper Clarke's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing*


Given his status in the poetry world, when thinking up the words to describe this week's guest at The Moon Under Water it would be very easy to put pen-to-paper and attempt to write a verse about him. But we're not going to do that: we wouldn't want to even try and compete with him. Instead, what we ARE going to do is welcome him with open arms into the Correct Realm as he prepares to create his dream pub with us; it's poet John Cooper Clarke!


At this point it's fair to say that John Cooper Clarke is a living legend. He's one of the most recognisable figures in the country, and he's been someone that the Correct Realm has been calling out for constantly over the past nine thousand years. He is guaranteed to bring a whole host of stories with him, and we cannot wait to see how his dream pub shapes up.

The number four is unlucky in China, but which single digit number is considered lucky?

Do you want to go first?

Do you want to go first?

1:02.9

Got to be a guess in both cases, isn't it?

1:05.4

Yeah.

1:05.9

I think I might know.

1:08.3

But we'll find out if I'm right or not.

1:10.3

Well, if you think you might know, I think the same as you, because I know that I don't.

1:15.4

Well, shall we both say eight?

1:17.8

We're both going to say eight.

1:19.6

Eight is...

It doesn't sound very Chinese, though.
