Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PMT9E1 - The Lass 'O' Gowrie pub occupies a site on Charles Street beside the bridge that carries the street over the River Medlock and between the street and the railway viaduct. This area was once one of the poorest in the city which, based upon the origin of many of its residents, was known as Little Ireland. The pub website says of its history: Legend has it that the original landlord of the pub was not an Irishman, but a proud, homesick Scotsman who named the pub in honour of his favourite poem - 'the Lass O'Gowrie' written by the celebrated Scottish poet Lady Carolina Nairne.
The Slaters Directory of Manchester & Salford indicated that in 1895 the Lass 'O' Gowrie's landlord was Charles Nolan. By 1909 the directory indicated that James Wagstaffe was the landlord.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PHGEEW - Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932 February 11, 1963) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for two of her published collections, The Colossus and Other Poems (1960) and Ariel (1965), as well as The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her suicide in 1963. The Collected Poems was published in 1981, which included previously unpublished works. For this collection Plath was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1982, making her the fourth to receive this honour posthumously.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Plath graduated from Smith College in Massachusetts and the University of Cambridge, England, where she was a student at Newnham College. She married fellow poet Ted Hughes in 1956, and they lived together in the United States and then in England. Their relationship was tumultuous and, in her letters, Plath alleges abuse at his hands. They had two children before separating in 1962.
Plath was clinically depressed for most of her adult life, and was treated multiple times with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). She killed herself in 1963, 11/02/1963

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNN6 - Oliver Joseph St. John Gogarty (17 August 1878 22 September 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist. He served as the inspiration for Buck Mulligan in James Joyce's novel Ulysses.
Gogarty was born 17 August 1878 in Rutland Square, Dublin, the eldest child of Henry Gogarty, a well-to-do Dublin physician, and Margaret Gogarty (née Oliver), the daughter of a Galway mill owner. Three siblings (Henry, Mary, and Richard) were born later. Gogarty's father, himself the son of a medical doctor, had been educated at Trinity College and owned two fashionable homes in Dublin, which set the Gogartys apart from other Irish Catholic families at that time and allowed them access to the same social circles as the Protestant Ascendancy
As one of Dublin's medicos, Gogarty was known to be fond of public pranks and midnight carousing in the Kips, Dublin's red-light district. He had a talent for humorous and bawdy verse, which quickly made the rounds through the city, and sometimes composed mnemonic lyrics to aid his medical studies. He also enjoyed a highly successful cycling career before being banned from the tracks in 1901 for bad language, and between 1898 and 1901 he rescued at least four people from drowning. He became interested in Irish nationalism after meeting Arthur Griffith in 1899, and contributed propaganda pieces to The United Irishman over subsequent years
As a Sinn Féiner during the Irish War of Independence, Gogarty participated in a variety of anti-Black and Tan schemes, allowing his home to be used as a safe house and transporting disguised IRA volunteers in his car. Following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Gogarty sided with the pro-Treaty government (headed by his close friend Arthur Griffith) and was made a Free State Senator. When Griffith fell ill during the summer of 1922, Gogarty frequently attended his bedside. His death on 12 August 1922 had a profound effect on Gogarty

He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.
Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach[1] though now often in an artificial casing instead.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H551TF - John Gower (c. 1330 October 1408) was an English poet, a contemporary of William Langland and the Pearl Poet, and a personal friend of Geoffrey Chaucer.
He is remembered primarily for three major works, the Mirour de l'Omme, Vox Clamantis, and Confessio Amantis, three long poems written in French, Latin, and English respectively, which are united by common moral and political themes.
His tomb is in Southwark Cathedral, London, with the following inscription:
This is the tomb of John Gower (d. 1408). Poet Laureate to Richard II and to Henry IV. Gower has been called the first English poet because, when most literary people wrote in French or Latin, he wrote also in English. He had a house and chapel within the precincts of the Augustinian Priory, (St. Mary Overie), to the north of this Cathedral Church. He left money for the founding of a chantry chapel in which he was buried. This chapel which stood on the north side of the nave was destroyed but the present tomb stands on or near the site on which it was originally built. The head of the effigy rests on three books. Gower wrote Vox Clamantis in Latin, Speculum Meditantis in French and Confessio Amantis in English

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BTY79M - John Cooper Clarke (born 25 January 1949) is an English performance poet who first became famous during the punk rock era of the late 1970s when he became known as a punk poet. He released several albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and continues to perform regularly.
His recorded output has mainly relied on musical backing from the Invisible Girls, which featured Martin Hannett, Steve Hopkins, Pete Shelley, Bill Nelson, and Paul Burgess.
Clarke was born in Salford, Lancashire, in 1949. He lived in the Higher Broughton area of the city and became interested in poetry after being inspired by his English teacher, John Malone
In 1979 he had his only UK top 40 hit with Gimmix! (Play Loud). Clarke toured with Linton Kwesi Johnson, and has performed on the same bill as bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Fall, Joy Division, the Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elvis Costello, Rockpile and New Order (including at their May 1984 Music for Miners benefit concert at London's Royal Festival Hall). His set is characterised by lively, rapid-fire renditions of his poems, usually performed a cappella. Often referred to as the bard of Salford, he usually refers to himself on stage as Johnny Clarke, the name behind the hairstyle.
Clarke appeared in a 1982 music documentary compilation Urgh! A Music War, in which he performed his poem Health Fanatic. The film featured live performances of mainstream artists (the Police, the Go-Go's, XTC, Devo) as well as more obscure bands (Pere Ubu, Invisible Girls, the Alley Cats, Athletico Spizz '80, Chelsea) using concert footage from around the world. He also starred in another 1982 film titled John Cooper Clarke - Ten Years in an Open Necked Shirt directed by Nick May and produced for the Arts Council of Great Britain and Channel 4. Somewhere between a narrative film, a series of music videos and a documentary, the film features interviews and performances by Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson among others.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BTY79R - John Cooper Clarke (born 25 January 1949) is an English performance poet who first became famous during the punk rock era of the late 1970s when he became known as a punk poet. He released several albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and continues to perform regularly.
His recorded output has mainly relied on musical backing from the Invisible Girls, which featured Martin Hannett, Steve Hopkins, Pete Shelley, Bill Nelson, and Paul Burgess.
Clarke was born in Salford, Lancashire, in 1949. He lived in the Higher Broughton area of the city and became interested in poetry after being inspired by his English teacher, John Malone
In 1979 he had his only UK top 40 hit with Gimmix! (Play Loud). Clarke toured with Linton Kwesi Johnson, and has performed on the same bill as bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Fall, Joy Division, the Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elvis Costello, Rockpile and New Order (including at their May 1984 Music for Miners benefit concert at London's Royal Festival Hall). His set is characterised by lively, rapid-fire renditions of his poems, usually performed a cappella. Often referred to as the bard of Salford, he usually refers to himself on stage as Johnny Clarke, the name behind the hairstyle.
Clarke appeared in a 1982 music documentary compilation Urgh! A Music War, in which he performed his poem Health Fanatic. The film featured live performances of mainstream artists (the Police, the Go-Go's, XTC, Devo) as well as more obscure bands (Pere Ubu, Invisible Girls, the Alley Cats, Athletico Spizz '80, Chelsea) using concert footage from around the world. He also starred in another 1982 film titled John Cooper Clarke - Ten Years in an Open Necked Shirt directed by Nick May and produced for the Arts Council of Great Britain and Channel 4. Somewhere between a narrative film, a series of music videos and a documentary, the film features interviews and performances by Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson among others.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5903757821 - 'The timeless Johnny Clark ('the name behind the Hairstyle'), the Bard of Salford with his ring bound scribblings, on stage at the Stanley Theatre. He was on a bill with 'The Temps' and Mark E Smiths 'The Fall'.
He had changed little since I first saw him at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1978, although he is now pushing 62.
His early work, including the essential 'Disguise In Love' used backing from 'The Invisible Girls', which featured Martin Hannett, the producer. Clarke was born in Salford, Lancashire in 1949. His first job was a laboratory technician at the University of Salford. He began his performance career in Manchester folk clubs, where he began working with Rick Goldstraw and his band The Ferrets. His first releases were on the independent label Rabid, starting with the EP Innocents in October 1977. He toured with Bill Nelson's band Be-Bop Deluxe in 1978 and was signed by Epic Records, who issued the Nelson-produced debut album Disguise In Love in 1978.
Sadly, he spent much of the 1980s addicted to heroin, living in a 'domestic partnership' with singer and fellow addict Nico (of the Velvet Underground). He made an appearance in two UK adverts for Sugar Puffs in 1988, taking second billing to the Honey Monster. Quite often these days he takes second billing from MES and The Fall.
His set included Beasley St, the updated Beasley Boulavard (now the poem has had some investment from Urban Splash), Chicken Town, Hire Car and the brilliant 'Bongos Trousers'. This is a satirical take on the effects of U2's Bono struggling to save the world and have an audience with the pope minus his kecks.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4610912265 - 'This is an interesting service I came across while at the Northwich Thundersprint this weekend. If I was a bike enthusiast I think I would like to make my final journey like this. A black motorcycle hearse. In recent times, the Motorcycle plus side-hearse has become more popular. This type of hearse is a motorcycle with a special side-vehicle built to carry a casket or an urn. These hearses are often used during the funeral of motorcycle enthusiasts around the world.
Motorbikes have a higher fatality rate per unit of distance travelled when compared with cars. In 2004, figures from the UK Department for Transport indicated that motorcycles have 121 deaths or serious injuries per 100 million vehicle kilometers, compared to the corresponding figure of 2.6 for motorists. IE over 50 times more likely. This is due to the increased power and acceleration of bikes, but also size and ability of motorists to spot and make allowance for them.
This situation is helped by higher-visibility gear (not as sexy as the all-black leather iconic approach, but more practical), use of abrasion resistive gear and padding, Full face helmet (skidlid) with gloves and boots. All this gear on mopeds can look rather silly (although safe) and I remember in my first job a workmate being nicknamed 'Evil Kenevil' due to how bizarre this looked.
In the UK, for example, organizations such as the IAM and RoSPA offer advanced motorcycle rider training with the aim of reducing accident rates. There is often an added incentive to riders in the form of reduced insurance premiums.
A final quote from the Managing Director of www.MotorcycleFunerals.com Rev. Paul Sinclair. He believes we should reflect people's lifestyles in their funerals.
'No one submits a Catholic to a Muslim service or places a Liverpool fan in an Arsenal strip when they die so why should motorcycle enthusiasts be last seen in a car?'
Er.. Quite!
