- Irish culture? Mairead Farrell's Alcohol Anecdotes.
- I like my films fluffy. One film that made me clap my hands in delight back in the 1970s was Le Petit Théâtre de Jean Renoir [complete on youtube]. IMDB data. It was his last film. Le roi d’Yvetot [in English The Virtue of Tolerance] starts at 55 minutes. C'est doux et délicieux.
- French culture? Cattycake cattycake à la Français
- Cute kitten vids? Puppies demand parity of esteem. [via MeFi more <whoop whoop Osmond alert> puppy love]
- Mighty oak from little acorn grows
- I was having a rant about cruiseships.
- Here's someone really happy with her balcony cabin. Slightly boring?
- Alternative = exciting. As in "May we not live in exciting times"
- When things go wrong - electricity failure after fire stops sewage pumps.
- Windage of these tall ships is another problem.
- We're still better at moving things in space and assembling Ikea chairs than robots . . . for the moment.
- Using a train to flatten coins. We tried this on the Dublin-Galway line at Renmore in March 1975 but the coins all flipped off the rail on the first strike and we didn't have duct-tape to keep them on track.
- Track? In Ireland we complain about pot-holes in rural roads. Perhaps we should try Tanzania.
- Avicii is dead at 28, having burned the candle at both ends and attempted to extinguish it with booze (they say):
- The Nights
- Wake me up to start
- The Days
