It still seems strange a year and a half in that Sean Hughes is dead. I read that Guardian article with horror and disgust such a terrible hit piece. I'm glad I'd written this before it or this post would have been 80% fury.<br /><br />Sean meant a lot to me, but my sister in the Kate 90s went through a dark and very difficult period, and she always said Sean's two books of his stories and poems etc helped her get through. She felt he understood and got what she was going through.

I wish I'd seen it at the time, instead of being absorbed by that awful Guardian article. <br />I was a very close friend of Sean's, and I know he would also be very touched by what you've written. Thank you.

Thank you for shari...The stewathon was pure genius. Thank you for sharing this gem. I was in London and 18 when Sean burst onto the staid comedy scene with his refreshing gormless gloominess. I loved him to bits. Missed a lot of his later stuff since coming back to Australia, but horrified to hear of the death of the young hero of my dark youth. 5 months later i am still going through his back catalogue. This guy is due legendary status and we need to spread the word of his timeless wisdom.<br />Pls ignore my nom de plume. My young daughter did something to my Google account settings but i guess there are worse things to be associated with than rainbows, sparkle and glitter 😅TL Harrissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377461660226853787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31231411.post-43066241920206033592018-03-03T00:52:23.560+11:002018-03-03T00:52:23.560+11:00Thanks for the heads up about the Stewathon.

I laughed maniacally to myself for a good 15 minutes and love him even more now. TL Harrissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377461660226853787noreply@blogger.com
