Who is Dave Gorman?
Why would he look for poems on MN?
Does he write poems?
Lots of MNers do. There were some good ones recently about vulvas.

I don't think so, he tends to look at comments under news articles (DM especially)

I shall try - from the pyjama thread....

God it's so tacky. My children would be mortified if I rocked up in pyjamas.
Just laziness - what example are they showing their kids?
It's an attitude, not a lifestyle. It's ghastly. There is no excuse
Yeah! Have a wash and get dressed fgs!

Wear what the hell you like, I say
It's not up to the school to tell parents what to wear
Really cannot be arsed to care about what others wear
People used to do it where I lived in Glasgow, I've never seen it here in London.

Timely, he is a comedian, very funny and very clever and his "found poems" where he takes comments from the internet, as suffolk said, from under news articles and makes a poem from it. Like

his found poems are brilliant.

Dh & I are huge fans, i'm normally dying of laughter by the end of them.

I love Dave Gorman. DS loves him too, sometimes I let him stay up far too late and watch.

His Found Poems are brilliant and he so could use MN as a source.

LEMs example about the pyjamas is spot on.

He often mentions his DW in performances and she sounds like she could be a Mumsnetter.

I'm going to send him some of GabbyLoggon's posts.

He has.

Pretty sure the sat nav one was a thread from here. The one about the children party and asking for specific presents - where no real child would ask for a desk was from a thread on here.

There was a thread I was on about celebrities and father of the year award - and it got silly and I put forward some silly comments on bananas under another name - only be sat watching TV to see a found poem along those line with my banana comments in Smile.

I think the american flag discussion was from a thread on here too - though that wasn't a found poem.

I really like Modern Life is goodish.

I am absolutely sure that Mrs Gorman is a Mumsnetter, she sounds like a smart, funny woman, she'll fit right in.

One of the confessions on radio two was from here. Brenda and Roy, except the names were changed. It was exactly the weird Christmas card round robins that mnetters send to other mnetters families. I was so disappointed someone had copied it!
