Architecture, books, culture and a love of places. Lives in Newport, South Wales; which contradicts all of the above.
I must try At Swim again, although too much esoteric Irish mythology stuff going on.
TTP is definitely in my Top 10, and strange that I never read it with an Irish accent. 🚲

The most memorable collection of short stories I’ve read. One of which was adapted for TV in an episode of Tales of the Unexpected.

Having to do a serious book cull to accommodate this and his previous collection of essays. Any one you know interested in a complete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica?

Probably the best pint of Adnams Broadside I’ve ever tasted on a visit back in 2011. Undoubtedly the most expensive too!

It’s a pity the human race didn’t perfect natural intelligence before we got started with AI.

NFO closed long before my drinking days began. A notorious cider den with a reputation for fist fights.
Tish Murtha spent many a happy hour here. Newport has plumbed new depths since.

A gem of a book. 👌
