Attempting to entice me to stay with their broadband and continue with the contract, Talk Talk dangled a carrot some weeks ago. That carrot has arrived today,

It is an Amazon Echo Dot and Smart Plug that is worth £65. I have connected it to the wi-fi and the app on my phone. I have been playing around with it. I felt like saying." Alexa, you have a lovely sexy voice". I decided against it. However, it reminded me of that Siri episode from The Big Bang Theory.

Forgot to do a Monday one so here is another brain twisting teaser.

Which point of the compass might be indicated by the film-maker Paul Martin (inspired by Graham Greene), a team in Essex with a single-letter chant, and a province that was the birthplace of the Castros?

No googling. Answers tomorrow evening or Saturday.

Frantz Fanon "Black Skin, White Masks" (Pluto Press)



"Black Skin, White Masks" is a broad Freudian-psychoanalytical study into racism towards and the alienation of black people in white societies through clinical, literary, and personal examples. While Fanon stated at the beginning of his work that his examples were derived from Martinique and ought to be considered limited to just Martinique, it is made clear through a reading of his entire work that "Black Skin, White Masks" aspired to much more than to be restricted to just that Caribbean island.

His rich and concise prose, arguments, have considerable breadth for such a slim volume. His points about the culpability of all in a society for the atrocities those in power inflict are moving, damning, and necessary.


Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today from one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history.
