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.

Comment on The (er, another) Hillsborough Agreement…
on 6 February 2010 at 4:20 am
Looking a few months ahead and assuming that this agreement surmounts all hurdles and is finally fully accepted let’s just imagine the first time someone wants to pass a bill on some aspect of the law. I can see the DUP wanting to bring back hanging but Sinn GFéin will argue that just stretching people would be better. Uproarious days ahead me buckos.

Just watched Connor on channel 4 saying that a deal is within reach ‘if the political will is there’. What a genius.

I can’t help wondering what has happened to last week’s continuous demand for ‘product.’ It seems to have stopped so perhaps we no longer need ‘product’ or it wasn’t the main thing after all.
