Boy Swallows Universe and Brisbane Dentist Wakes Up With an Irish Accent Coming Out of Her Mouth?

Timing is everything it seems when it comes to reading a book, as I had only seen on 60 Minutes just over a week ago a segment about a Brisbane dentist who grew up in Australia, but woke up after surgery with an Irish accent, then I started reading the Brisbane based novel 'Boy Swallows Universe' again and read the chapter about a Brisbane boy hearing an Irish woman's accent for the first time in real life -

Memoir or Fiction? Trent Dalton On Boy Swallows Universe

Slight SPOILER ALERT ... in the novel 'Boy Swallows Universe' the main character who is semi-based on Trent Dalton's life loses a right index finger at some point, so I thought it was ironic that I listened to last week's Dublin Unity Church service where a story is told in an Irish accent from the pulpit about a Norwegian guy who loses a finger and can't fight when called up for the army, because he has no trigger finger:-)

I've never been to Ireland, nor been to a Unitarian Church service, and while I'm not a Roman Catholic I am familiar with the Church and Catholic life through my Nan (my father's mother), which is probably why I joined the Liberal Catholic Church as a teenager and still am a member, even though I haven't been to a service for many decades.

But I usually associate Dublin and Ireland with Guinness, good music and Roman Catholicism, not Unitarian Churches.

If I ever go for a visit to Dublin I might have to check out a service at that Unitarian Church for myself - 

Happy St.Patrick's Day:-)
