No, it's not really Salvador Dali's house, but it should be - note the Daliesque tweak to the wrought iron over the gate, plus this is the only house I've ever seen with a moustache, even though it's more Deputy Dawg than it is Dali.

Sculptor: Martin Heron
This impressive piece of public art is located outside The Alley Theatre, Strabane, Co. Tyrone. Among the influences for the sculpture are prominent beliefs held in Celtic times when pigs represented fertility and prosperity and were held in great reverence. Celtic markings - similiar to those found at New Grange in Co. Meath- adorn the piece, while a golden texture has been added to underline that this is an object of great value.
The pig also has very definite local links - an important pork market was held in the town during the 1950s and there is also Ambrose The Pig, a character which features in the works of Strabane's most famous literary son, Flann O' Brien.
It is believed that those rubbing the pig's Celtic twirls will be blessed with some of Flann's celebrated humour. Indeed, Ambrose may be Strabane’s very own answer to the Blarney Stone. Others believe, however that he is a 'wishing pig' and point to the pig's stance as one of staring at the sky, musing and making a wish.

“The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who are nearly half people and half bicycles...when a man lets things go so far that he is more than half a bicycle, you will not see him so much because he spends a lot of his time leaning with one elbow on walls or standing propped by one foot at kerbstones.”
― Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman

St George's Church, Reforne, Portland.
A pamphlet concerning the Easton Massacre is available from the church, and quotes from a local manuscript:
"April 1st 1803, came to anchor in Portland Roads, Eagle frigate, George Wolfe Esq. Commander for the purpose of impressing men... Nothing material happened that everning.
April 2nd 1803. Landed the impress boat near Portland Castle about 5 o'clock in the morning, from the above mentioned frigate, with captain, three more officers, and a lieutenant of marines, and 24 private marines and a number of seamen, armed with muskets, bayonets pistols, cutlasses and proceeded towards the village of Chissel and impressed one Henry Way, run into his house, whereof they broke up the door and impressed the said Nick Way. Both of them were guarded by some of the Press Gang to the Castle.
The inhabitants of this village then running up the hill to make their escape, but was closely followed by the Press Gang. When they came upon the hill and reached Zach White's house near the church, the said Zach White [Chief Constable of the Island's Court Leet] then seeing them, asked them were they was going, and desired them to stop. They said, 'We shall want your assistance to go with us,' but he asked them by what authority. They immediately took out a warrant and read it, and finding it was signed only by the Mayor of Weymouth he said his power do not extend to this Island unless it has been signed by one of the County Magistrates, therefore he should have nothing to do with them but used all the persuasive language he could to stop them from going down the street, where they halted and drawed up in lines about half past six o'clock.
The inhabitants were then in several divisions in the street, but seeing the captain attempt to take one Robert Bennett, they all collected together and advanced within ten yard of the Press gang to rescue him, the said Robert Bennett, the Press gang then commanding the passage leading up Reforne Street. The said Press gang attempting to take some more men, a scuffle commenced. Inconsequence therefore a pistol was fired by the captain, and its contents supposed to be lodged in the ground supposed to be the signal for the marines to fire, which immediately took place and the consequences thereof proved fatal to the inhabitants of the Island. Alexander Andrews, Rick Flann and William Lano was killed on the spot. Richard Bennett was badly wounded with a ball going through his thigh, and Mary Way was dangerously wounded with a ball entering the right side of her back and supposed to be lodged near her left breast. The Press gang had one man badly wounded and carried away on a hurdle and four or five more wounded. The inhabitants immediately fled, some through the Great Pool, some one way and some another but none of them were taken. The gang soon left us. They walked as far as Duckstile... went back again the same way, up through Reforne Street and proceeded on to the Castle much dejected, and took on board two men they had impressed in the morning."
Members of the Press Gang were later charged with wilful murder but were all found 'Not Guilty nor Fled'
The Palace Bar is located on Fleet street near the corner of Westmoreland street in Dublin’s Temple Bar area. Built in 1923, the Palace Bar is one of the oldest pubs and bars in Dublin. It hasn’t changed the looks and atmosphere since the time when the writers such as Flann O’Brien and Harry Kernoff enjoyed the pints here.

At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O'Brien was the chosen book for Dublin: One City One Book 2006
Flann O'Brien (real name Brian O’Nolan) was born in 1911 in Co. Tyrone. He graduated from UCD and joined the Civil Service. In addition to At Swim-Two-Birds he wrote The Dalkey Archive, The Third Policeman, The Hard Life and The poor Mouth - as well as the Cruiskeen Lawn column in the Irish Times under the pseudonym, Myles Na Gopaleen. He died on April 1st, 1966.
About the book
First published in 1939, the same year as Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake, At Swim-Two-Birds is a modern masterpiece mixing Irish history and Gaelic legend with a profound knowledge of Dublin’s streets, bars and urban grime - creating a hilarious and irreverent cocktail. It pokes fun at the work of O’Brien’s Irish near-contemporaries, among them, WB Yeats, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.
Talbot Road, west London. I don't know what Flann O'Brien would have to say about hanging a gent's bicycle on a ladies' public lavatory, but I doubt any good can come of it.
One of four plaques set into the pavement outside the Palace Bar in Fleet Street/Dublin to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Flann O'Brien.

This place (on Kilburn High Road), has been morphing steadily from dry cleaners to bike shop over the last few years. I remember being surprised to see a few kids' bikes lined up outside but I'd say the shop is now approaching 50% bike shop. You can still see the dry cleaning hanging in the shop though so the old function is obviously clinging on!
Puts me in mind of Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman in which cyclists who spend a little too much time on their bikes find themselves - thanks to the 'atomic theory' - taking on the nature of their bicycles: "Michael Gilhaney,” said the sergeant, “is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principle of the atomic theory. Would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?”
MultiMedia Classics, Video 1 - 9. Medienimpulsgeber und ERZÄHLEN - FRAGEN - ANTWORTEN Experte Dr. Heinz Wassermann mit den ersten digitalisierten Daten des Projektes auf CDROM. Mitte der 90er Jahre erkannten wir sofort, dass umfangreiche digitalisierte Daten, Filme auf CDROMS für Rechner und im Internet nicht in voller Länge zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. 1997 kamen die ersten DVD Brenner in den Handel, die aber durch die äußerst hohen Preise noch nicht massentauglich waren. Die ersten Daten- CDROMS des digitalen Versuchsprojektes sind heute in einem "damit es nicht vergessen wird" Kunstwerk verarbeitet.

The first recorded re-enaction of Bloomsday in Dublin took place in 1958.
Bloomsday Re-enacted
The original watercolor painting is my interpretation of the first recorded re-enactment of Bloomsday on 16th June 1954, when five men got together in Dublin to attempt to trace the steps of some of the characters in Ulysses, on 16th June 1904, from James Joyce's novel.
The five were Anthony Cronin, writer; Paddy Kavanagh, poet; John Ryan, author and publican; Brian O'Nolan, (aka Myles Na gCopalleen/ Flann O'Brien), comic author and satirist and a dentist named Joyce. These paintings are based on a photograph of them taken on Sandymount strand.
They were unable to complete the full pilgrimage.
This painting is now offered as a giclee print edition of 25, hand signed and numbered by the Artist, sent rolled and ready for framing.

Imágenes de los días previos a los cinturones de seguridad obligatorios, las leyes de tolerancia cero para conducir bebidas y las zonas de deformación.
24 de febrero de 2018
Los vehículos de carretera son objetos grandes y pesados diseñados para moverse a alta velocidad, a menudo mucho más allá de lo que los humanos pueden registrar con respecto a los cambios repentinos en el medio ambiente. Como tal, la Organización Mundial de la Salud señala que los accidentes de tráfico siguen siendo una de las principales causas de muerte y lesiones en todo el mundo, y la principal causa de muerte entre las personas de 15 a 29 años.
El conjunto de fotos antiguas de esta semana presenta escenas de las secuelas de varios accidentes automovilísticos en Eslovenia. La intención aquí no es mirar el sufrimiento humano, y no hay imágenes explícitas de cuerpos retorcidos en los restos. En su lugar, estamos compartiendo estas fotos, obtenidas de una inmersión profunda a través de Wikimedia, como viñetas de la vida cotidiana, mostrando el interés público en tales eventos, las multitudes se reunieron para vislumbrar algo terrible y las prácticas simples de aquellos que tienen para recopilar los hechos y lidiar con lo que sucede después.
