Belfast port celebrated as hopes rise for lower corporation tax
The House of Lords was the suitably grand venue for the London launch of Alf McCreary’s magnificently illustrated tome Titanic Port, a history of Belfast Harbour. Before I got a chance to take a good look at my copy, my ears pricked up when the chairman of the harbour commissioners Len O’Hagan said hopes were high [...] read our review » -
“Good Friday. The death of Irish Republicanism” by Anthony McIntyre: a review
This was a book that I first reviewed at the same time as “Unionism Decayed” back in 2008. Like Vance’s work, it is the author’s portrayal of a defeated political movement or ideal and as a Unionist it was instructional to read an interpretation of the immediate post-Agreement period from the other side of the fence.

The peace process not such a good model after all
Which reminds me…. Platform for Change’s driving force Robin Wilson has produced a corrective to the notion that the lessons of the NI conflict are easily exportable. Like myself, Robin is associated with the Constitution Unit. He introduced his new book in a CU blog which I here reproduce. The water crisis in Northern Ireland [...] read our review »

Brilliant, thats the reason its been HERE, http://irelandsfew.blogspot.com/2007/08/battle-at-kruger_12.html
for Days
BBC also put it on – after it had already got millions of hits. There are some good ones of lions eating Korean tourists. Funny.
So what, only 27.5|M have seen it so far. Isn’t nature brilliant – The good guys sometimes win.
I know it’s ‘old’, but I only saw it today!
When something’s that good, you just gotta share…
I never get tired of this video.
I can almost hear that big bull at the beginning, “now you just wait right here, I have a few mates I want you all to meet!”
Great stuff.
There are actually some great animal videos on youtube. Check out the cougar fighting the big snake. My favourite is the ions eating the Korean tourist.
“There are some good ones of lions eating Korean tourists. Funny.”
“My favourite is the (l)ions eating the Korean tourist.”
The above from 2 of only 6 posts. One third of your correspondents it seems appreciate the eating of tourists (though to be fair only Korean ones).
If such warm sentiments are as widely replicated I suspect that the Northern Ireland Tourist Board has its work cut out.
I must admit I’m still not absolutely 100% convinced it’s genuine……………Trowbridge u about when u r needed ?
I know I’m sick …..but anyone got a link to those poor Korean tourists ?
I’m still here, Dewi, but I think that you would make more of a difference if you concentrated on real matters closer to home, like stopping Ballymena’s savages from using poor hedgehogs as the ball in their hurling games.
Just another day in Ceredigion, eh Dewi ?
Cruimh – that’s what strange – the little buffalo cub wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds against Ceredigion young Farmers…………Trow – I can never tell when u r joking !
So true Dewi – Rugby Tour parties fade into insignificance when compared to several young farmers debauches I have attended
Viewers are assured that no animals were harmed in the making of this film. Well none that submitted written complaints anyway.
I would like to have been a fly-on-the-wall at the lions’ debriefing session after this botched operation.
It couldn”t be described as a roaring success, that’s for sure DavidD
I did not realise until seeing this film that buffalo and other herding animals would actually (regroup and) fight lions. I thought they’d just flee. So much for the king of the jungle.
Good to see they do fight back. I do like the bit where the lioness is thrown into the air, and I hope the partly gnawed buffalo calf has survived.
Feck ye all. I’m for the croc all the way, poor little fella deprived of a succulent meal…it’s hard enough living in a swamp without that
