In een archiefkelder van Bibliotheek Rotterdam is een tot nu toe onbekend bordspel uit 1945 aangetroffen. Het spel, getiteld 'Het Ennesbeërtje', blijkt een satirische variant op het traditionele ganzenbord en neemt de NSB en haar kopstukken op de hak. historiek.net/verzetsbords...

I left today’s poem on the train so this will have to do instead.

Poem, Revised Draft I had to write this poem again. I left the first draft on the train and now it doesn't look the same. The original was a paean to Love, to Truth and Beauty; it soared above the everyday and all that stuff. It would have healed estranged lovers' rifts, stilled the sands on which time shifts and stopped the world before it drifts further into quagmired crisis. It was an open heart. It wore disguises. It employed ingenious literary devices. I have tried my hardest to recall its words and rhythms, the rise and fall of those lines upon their cadenced crawl through the English language. But it has only caused me pain and anguish for there was little I could salvage. It certainly didn't end with a line like this. Brian Bilston

The Bad Salad of William Archibald Spooner Why do I always watch my birds? I know that statement sounds absurd but today I reached an all-lime toe when I received a blushing crow. It’s wetting gorse – and here’s the crunch: my conversation packs a lunch. I’m not sure when all this began but I think I need a plaster man to help me when my stouth gets muck. I should sit, perhaps, and bead a rook, fight a liar, or flick some powers. No, I think I’ll go and shake a tower. Brian Bilston

It’s Independent Bookshop Week. Here’s a poem about one of the many reasons why indie bookshops are so brilliant. #indiebookshopweek

Advanced Book Search “I can’t remember what it’s called but I’m pretty sure it has a green cover. What I do know is that the author’s name starts with a P. Or possibly a K. One of the consonants, definitely. She was talking about it on Radio 4 last week – although now I come to think of it, it may have been Radio 2. On Monday. It’s a novel. Set in Bridgend, if that helps. No, hang on … Bridport. Or Brisbane? She did sound Australian, in a Welsh kind of way. At least, I think it’s a novel. It might be an autobiography. Or a travel guide. But I am certain it has a green cover because I saw a picture of it in the newspaper a few weeks ago, although that could have been another book …” are words that take a long time to type into an online search box, and lead to unsatisfactory results. I ask my local bookseller instead, who fetches the book from the shelf. Turns out the cover was red. Brian Bilston A poster for Independent Bookshop Week, headed ‘Shop Local. Shop Independent.’

Dit is een vals frame van de sociale huur. Voor koopwoningen is de belastingbetaler vele malen meer geld kwijt (via de hypotheekrenteaftrek) dan aan sociale huur (via huurtoeslag). Uit m’n hoofd ongeveer 9 miljard euro per jaar tegenover 3 miljard euro per jaar.

Happy 14th June to all those (except one) who celebrate.

Unhappy Birthday to Me It’s important to share, or so I’ve been taught, to show kindness to others, to be a good sport. But all of those teachings have taken a bump – for I share my birthday with Donald Trump. For years I knew not of this dark, dreadful fate, and with ignorant bliss I honoured the date – but then it got hijacked, sullied, gazumped by a self-serving bigot, a foul gibberlump. With him, I would share an infectious disease, a mouldy bread roll, an infestation of fleas, a romantic weekend at a toxic waste dump – but please, not my birthday, Mr. Tangerine Chump. Alternative dates he’s welcome to try – 12th Febtember, 33rd July. But 14th June? In a lake, take a jump and find a new date, you deranged sewage pump. Brian Bilston

Ik weer eens een Maasvlakte excursie plannen! We gaan dan op zoek naar sporen uit de IJstijd in de vorm van botmateriaal maar ook stenen en schelpen. Ik zit te denken aan 29 juni 11:00-13:00. €20,- pp vanaf 6 jaar DM bij interesse en voor aanmelding en verder info volgt dan nog. (Foto 2 mammoetkies)

Rechts ziet u een leeg bruin kabinet maar dat is gevallen. Links een groen kabinet wat degelijk en goed in elkaar zit. Wordt geleverd met een duidelijke uitleg over de inhoud.

The little ink drop was crying, because his mother was in the pen and he didn't know how long the sentence would be. Thank you very much. I'll leave quietly.

That's the heartbreaking part of this whole Unbound thing. For a couple of years, I was living the dream of everyone who writes a book: making enough money to live off of royalties without having another job.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Het kabinet laat €30 miljard liggen bij ondoelmatige fiscale regelingen die doelen niet bereiken en nuttige inkomsten doen verdampen. Alles doorgerekend. Ligt klaar voor actie. Rekenkamer-president Duisenberg snapt niks van Schoofs passiviteit. #BetrouwbareBronnen art19.com/shows/betrou...

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.
