I love Donal Fallon’s new book The Dublin Pub, which brings back vivid memories of my first visit to Dublin in 1981. I had a drink in the Brazen Head, and took the blurry photo of the landlady, Mrs Cooney…she’s on the cover of the book too.

Seasons greetings from the other dimensions!

RIP Roland McHugh, whose funeral was today. What a loss to Finnegans Wake readers.

Does anyone else remember Aaargh! the wonderful comics exhibition at the ICA in 1970-71? We had a family trip there and, aged 12, I wandered on my own into a dark screening room where they had a slide show of Robert Crumb’s Despair comic. A life changing experience.

Frank Grimes performing his Joyce show at the launch of David Collard’s Multiple Joyce in 2022 at the Bloomsbury Hotel. We went for a drink after in the French House and look who walked in by chance. A lovely man.
