Poet Dannie Abse was named winner of the Wales Book of the Year for his memoir The Presence … which he wrote following his wife’s death in 2005.
Am I wrong, or was his competitor rather a poor sport?
Metaphor
Surely some revelation is at hand.

Yep, truth is I can’t say for sure I wouldn’t have done the same thing. Or worse. Maybe hurling insults and tableware at the moderator. :o)
It really would be very embarassing to go on stage in front of hundreds of people to receive recognition and a prize that belonged to someone else. However, I believe if we think fast we can always make embarassing situations work to our advantage…in a humorous sort of way. 🙂 There’s a big emphasis made about branding ourselves these days. I can’t help but think that this “poor sport” has just branded himself in a most negative way. 🙂 He will be remembered but for what?
