Private Museum of Agriculture and Technology
Last Friday I visited a private collection of agricultural equipment and (what turned out to be) technology near Gilford in County Armagh. I was there to intoerview Norman Kerr about the original mobile defibrillator he had in his collection. But there among the linen collection and farm tools was a collection of old micro-computers. 
And on the way out - this horrific contraption is a dentist drill ----- Think I'd rather be toothless.

Good Vibrations - the movie
Just home from Belfast's Queens Film Theatre where a 7 minute pilot/preview of Good Vibrations was being screened to about 100 - 150 people. "Don't get emotional, now." Said Jackie Hamilton (former Moondog now TV producer as he sat down in the row behind me. Beside me was John T Davis the maker of the definitive film of the 1970s punk music era in Belfast Shellshock Rock. In a row further down Brian Young from Rudi and Stuart Bailie, now of the Oh Yeah centre.
It was a fantastic 7 minutes. And it did bring a small tear to my eye. So when the full movie is made (no one is saying quite when, there is finance to be raised and shooting to do during the summer), I expect I will blub all the way through.
