A poem for the day – Launching the Whaler Juan Peron
Tweet A Belfast epic, and one of my oldest poems, the opener of my first collection, Grub. The gist of the story was found in Moss & Hume’s Shipbuilders to the World: 125 Years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast, 1861-1986, which tells how Eva Peron was due to launch a huge whaling vessel in Belfast, [...] read our review » -
Sunday Supplement
Tweet It being Sunday, we’ve all got time to consider and ponder things at greater length than during the working week, yes?

That Time, That Place
Our Time, Our Place: No Surrender
No joke I seen a numberplate on a trailer in Derry the other day
S05 FGU
Save Our Souls For God and Ulster.
It’s a guy who trains people for the trailer test.
Unfortunately.
“The unionist family” (to quote Arlene Foster on the news tonight).
Silly old me to think that we were ALL included in our time,our place.
‘Save Our Souls For God and Ulster.’
Do they include Donegal & Cavan & Monaghan in Ulster or are the poor Prods in those counties not eh favoured by God ?
And how do they know that God gives a damn either way about Ulster ?
Lets face it- if JC were to return to Earth and start preaching all that ‘love your neighbour even if he/she’s a Fenian or a Hun stuff ‘ on the streets of Belfast he might avoid being recrucified by the knucklegrounders but he’d probably have his head kicked in at minimum .:(
Oh I’m digressing – For the caption
Flag waver at edge : ‘I’m at the end of my tatter ‘
Greenflag, I promised to let you know when my brother’s book came out. Details in “Are our versions of history sundering or reconciling us? (5) ” thread
Twas our time and twas our place
The world looked on and prayed
Until some flag just got misplaced
And hope began to fade
Threats of death, all roads shut
No sign of festive cheer
Basil’s off to tan his butt
And Santa wont be here…
Orange on top, green republicanism underneath, and yellow Alliance on the bottom. Well, some people will be pleased.
@ mister joe ,
Thanks Joe I’ll have a gander on the morrow and a goose the day after
Greenflag with orange/gold harp centre motif and both tricolour & union jack joined together on small inset say 10% of flag area at bottom right hand tail of new flag signifying the histories of and roles of both current states in the formation of the new Second Republic . And as we’ll probably have been invited to rejoin the Commonwealth the part union jack insert will be recognition of the traditions of the British minority on the island .
I’ll leave any new anthem to the musical composers of the future -just not Danny Boy -in no ways Danny Boy -
“Support is flagging for togetherness in Norn Iron”. The old ones are best.
