New website about the Titanic
Reading this entry from Keithblog I stumbled upon this fantastic new website dedicated to the Titanic. It is set up by the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. Chockablock with info, photos and newsreels it is an absolutely fantastic resource for the Titanic nut.
Sons of the Desert Convention in Dublin
If during the weekend of August 24-27 you encounter a large bunch of strangers in Dublin walking around wearing a Fez – or should I say fezes? - on their head giggling madly, then you will have met the attendees of the 8th European Sons of the Desert convention.
The Sons of the Desert are named after the eponymous comedy film starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. This society celebrates life and work of those two comic geniuses and now has a large number of international affiliates.
In the film Stan and Ollie manage to get a weekend away from the nagging wives and attend the “Sons of the Desert” Lodge convention. I hope you don’t need to resort to all those lies and deceptions that they’re up to if you want to join the society’s first European get-together in Ireland.
Start saving now as the costs are €419 per attendee…. though these cover the accomodation as well as all the dinners. More details can be found here.
