"The Faber Book of Irish Verse was a poetry anthology edited by John Montague and first published in 1974 by Faber and Faber. Recognised as an important collection, it has been described as 'the only general anthology of Irish verse in the past 30 years that has a claim to be a work of art in itself ... still the freshest introduction to the full range of Irish poetry'. According to Montague, "I'm dealing with a thousand years of Irish verse in under four hundred pages. I needed a thousand pages.'"


Hmmmmm....

Hmmmmm....


Much like Vogon poetry, the fabers seen here have not much to recommend them in a literary sense.

ETA: butter and maple syrup would be the most common here. Fruit, jam or fruit compote would also be rather common.

ETA: Syrup/butter would get you that "strange foreigner look" over here

You've never had Swedish pancakes CB? You who live in that bastion of Scandinavians called the Upper Midwest?

I prefer butter and cane syrup, but the latter is hard to find around here.

Nearly 40 degrees today. Flooding season almost here. Again. And in one of my garages. I hope the skimmer pump holds up.

No.


My parents started to do that a couple of years ago. I just mention the car I totalled when I was a teenager, that usually puts my dad's wallet back into his pocket. It's sort of par for the course now. They offer, I refuse. We usually just switch off paying when we go out to dinner now.
