Neal explains the flight simulator windscreen wiper dilemma, bemoans the poor design of the human lower skull, wonders if it’s lawful for dogs to eat themselves, compares Schubert’s The Trout to Masterchef Junior, recalls early childhood experiences of cutlery and daisies, considers why you’d play pitch and putt on a full size golf simulator, frets about his motives for raising a hand in an RDS exam hall three decades ago, wonders why you’d start a city near a swamp, remembers Tiger Woods’ name surprisingly swiftly, links his childhood self image to Dublin’s old gasometer tanks, remembers Ian Dury and the Blockheads, pinpoints where cats fall on Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and looks at how motorists bank their hill climbing progress, understanding the American prom experience through situation comedies, the AA, the other AA, the AAA, advice for procedural drama producers and quite a bit more.
