A poem for the day – Launching the Whaler Juan Peron
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, built [...] read our review » -
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 »

Comment on Six Nations Weekend 4 – Gatland a menopausal warthog!!
on 12 March 2010 at 2:09 pm
I reckon Ireland – Wales will be a lot closer than most people think. Wales have the kicking game to match Ireland’s if required. Although the Irish lineout could dominate the match totally. I’d say Ireland by 3-9 points but wouldn’t be entirely shocked if Wales sneaked a win.
Scotland – england is another hard one to call but probably england by a few points and France to thump Italy by 30+.

Comment on Fearghal McKinney to run for Fermanagh South Tyrone…

Great to see some ‘big names’ join the SDLP and UUP. Without doubt, both candidates should do well. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ferghal picked up a few votes from ‘unionist’ voters in tyrone lol.

Comment on “Police were evacuating the area when the bomb went off.”

time time again we hear on slugger how dissidants are poorly organised and arn’t worth the paper that’s written about them. Make no mistake, they represent a real threat to human life in NI. The question is, are people from nationalist/republican areas ready to ‘out’ thesescum bags or are they still though of as ‘heroes’ of the community?
Strange that they target a largely nationalist town like Newry?

Comment on Magners League weekend 12

looking forward to to the game tonight – I would be more confident if we can Court playing but with Rory back in the front row I can’t complain too much. Dragons have been great this season so hard one to call. With a few scotish injuries, I wonder how Glasgow and Embra will fare.
