Do Words Matter?: Book Review of Political Discourse and Conflict Resolution – Debating Peace in Northern Ireland
I share many of the concerns of Andy Pollak, whose recent post ‘My Response to the Slugger Begrudgers’ zeroed in on the ‘relentless flow of negativity’ of some Slugger commentators. Pollak’s post was largely concerned with the medium of the blog. Indeed, I think the anonymity of the online world encourages extreme discourse and allows [...] read our review »

Of the Old North and other Vanished Kingdoms..
I’m currently trawling through Norman Davies’s fabulous new tome – “Vanished Kingdoms” – Five stars in the (London) Telegraph’s review from Ben Wilson: All the nations that have ever lived have left their footsteps in the sand,” writes Norman Davies. “The traces fade with every tide, the echoes grow faint, the images are fractured, the human [...] read our review » -
Talking to a brick wall: how to make politicians listen?
It took me a long time to warm to advertising agencies. The first time I worked with one I was working in sales management on Fairy Washing Up Liquid. I was due to attend a meeting at which I was to be told what consumers really thought of the brand. I remember my reluctance to [...] read our review »

The Gasworks?
Easy peasy, Ormeau Gas Works
Is it Ormeau Gas Works as seen from the train?
No
No and errrr
No
Not sure where it is MP but in the light of day will it say “kill all tiags” on the wall, taigs spelt wrong for effect.
It doesn’t lamhdearg
Blackstaff mill?
Good, thats a change then. Nice pic dark but inspiring, you could do this for a living.
No Neil
and errr i do lamhdearg (just about)
as a clue folks have been understanding the architecture just not the locality
Couldn’t be Power Staion East; you wouldn’t wander that far!
Is it the gasworks?
I did do a book on Ballylumford a few years ago Joe but no it’s not
No Babyface
It must be a pool bar. Them’s eight balls.
was thinking the Ormeau baths
Somewhere in the Shipyard?
Mossley Mill?
Ha Dewi
DR, chewnicked, john….Nope
Jennymount?
Down
No babyface or chewnicked…….
C’mon folks it’s not that difficult honest.
It is in Belfast
Being in Belfast makes it exceedingly difficult for culchies like myself, MP. I’ve only been in the city on two brief occasions since the Slugger Awards in 2008 and Mick can tell you that that took a bit of persuading
The only other thought that came to mind was an old set of wards at the Royal Victoria Hospital but they may have gone by now.
Looks like the one between the Springfield and Shankill. Drawing a blank, but it’s driving me nuts. Hint?
I realise that the culchies might not know where it is Nevi but sure it’s a bit of fun.
Wrong side of town Neil
Wrong side of town Neil
Is Neil on the correct side of the Lagan Mooch’ ?
It is east of the city SS
Ah ! That’s me snookered then.
Sirocco factory?
No Dewi
all thats standing there now is the chimney
Is it beside the Templemore Avenue Health Centre?
Is it next to Davey Gilbert’s inner city farm?
Nevin the health centre was knocked down last year but yeah this is Templemore Baths……not bad for a culchie
MP. I went for a drive – on Google :L
Ok, not so easy peasy :-/
But I finally got it, it’s the Ormeau Baths Art Gallery.
Nice work MP

Greenback, the answer is further up. The Templemore Baths is a similar structure but different gable windows.
Thanks Nevin and well done on getting it.
I can’t even get it right when it’s already been answered!! I think the only option for me is to retire, easy peasy.
Here’s another view of Templemore Baths
