i think you need to aspire for another personality rather than gordon ramsay, but maybe you could do a relaity tv poetry show, where you go round to al the loser poets and tell them whats what

he got the best out of his staff a lot of his ex-employees speak very highly of them cos he taught them what excellence requires. you cant be a slacker and be excellent. ask alex ferguson.

before i forget: another really good polymath for you all to get into if you don't already know him is jeff nuttall. I was listening to a podcast yesterday with the main guy from smell & quim and he said nuttall was hugely influential when he taught at leeds college of art in the 70s.

nuttall is the guy who first published burroughs in the UK. but he also did drawings and music.

his book 'bomb culture' is highly recommended - a new ed. has just come out with intro by iain sinclair (btw i found out recently that iain's older bro is none other than angus sinclair ie the guy who invented the sinclair computer!!).

it's basically a write up of the 60s, but as it happened. there's a very good section where he compares ian brady and jim morrison, plus a hilarious description of a night out with burroughs. then towards the end it's all about his real attemps at doing project m type stuff with trocchi.

good shit - get it, you won't be disappointed.

yeah it's really good, i might reread it soon. it's unique cos it's not retrospective, so some of what hes saying/doing is quite shocking

there are other approaches than alex ferguson though, what about wenger and pep?

i have tried this from time to time. nurturing, maternal mentorship. i want to get more into this tbh but my cultural background mitigates against it. i keep lapsing back into Alex Ferguson.

you need reimprinting through a massive dose of psychedelics coupled with the right suggestions in your set and setting, it can be done, leary proved it

i had some MDMA once and that really gave me a lot of help with it but you fall back into old habits unless you keep taking it and tkaing it

i'm sure Jeff Nuttall was a voice in his time but I read one of his later books agers ago and the tone was very much "I was great, I was right, young people these days are wet and shit" and there was a bit where he complained that he tried to cop off with some young lady and she wasn't into it

and any true anarchista would have been all over him, at least that's how i remember the implication, she would of in'68, kind of thing

similar creepy vibe to that book playpower where the guy rates different countries on the willingness of local females

i thought that guy's name was clive? a different kind of polymath who also tried to introduce a futuristic tricycle

But yes i have heard from someone who interviewed him shortly before he died that he was well dodgy on the women front. And everything apart from bomb culture is unreadable but that one is good and well worth it i promise you
