October/Novermber reading List

Finally manage this year, to finish ( ahead of time ) my reading challenge, the target was 24 and I am already at 26. Now I have been quite helped by bedtime reading of children books to my daughter.

In order to continue on this good track here's my October/November reading list
First, it will consist of finishing up books I have started a long time ago:

• Dawn of the Dumb: Dispatches from the Idiotic Frontline by Charlie Brooker
• How Language Works by David Crystal
• The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen by Brian Cox
• Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

Then more light reading:

• Me Cheeta: The Autobiography by James Lever
• Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Philip K. Dick

Moist

MOIST ( Circa 14/05/2015 )

Oh sweaty purple polyp

It is time to be rejoiced

I have a full hoist

Of oysterly oyster

So moist

Moist, moist, moist

What a foist

This has to be voiced

Not even the salmon fishers moist

With their dribbling boat could hoist

Everybody like to be moist

So again let’s foist

And expectorate a fully voiced

We can grow more moist

Our sluggish eyes can feast

On the mucilaginous beast

Humid, putrid,

Dampish, crunchy and wet

Yes, bring us more sweat

We have our towel

Smear those damp cloth fouled

Let the towel growl

And howl

I hear the screeching owl

Beginning to rejoice

Moist, moist, moist

The towel is to be high hoist

Damp as a wovel

Let it be fuel

To make move our bowel.

Alternative facts, harcourt street and train wreck....

I have a postcard of the above picture on my wall, when my girlfriend first saw it, she declared:

"Oh this is the famous train crash in Dublin, Harcourt street"

No it is not, in the photograph you can read 'Gare de l'Ouest', and this train crash happened in 1985 in Paris, France.

There was indeed a train crash in Dublin, in 1900. And this is the picture:

12 years ago I landed in Ireland.
