I like films, the odder the better. Interesting music and literature. I occasionally take pinhole photographs.

A display of wild swimming books. At the bottom of the display, under all the other books is a copy of JAWS by Peter Benchley.

Here's a curious cover of the originally Belgian hit "Y Viva España", known to holidaying Brits of a certain age in its English version by Sylvia (who was Swedish).

This time it is sung in Lebanese Arabic.

Penny Pingleton, you know you were punished. From now on, you're wearing a giant P on your blouse every day to school... so that the whole world knows that Penny Pingleton is permanently... positively punished.

Proper Irish speakers I need your help.

I need to refer to the work of Ríonach uí Ógáin (brilliant stuff btw) and I have no idea how to pronounce her name.

I thought I could avoid making a fool of myself in front of a few dozen people by making a fool of myself here in front of several thousand.
