The Great Wee Azoo: Bad Art - Kieran Doherty Wall
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2007/07/bad-art-kieran-doherty-wall.html
Saturday, July 21, 2007. Bad Art - Kieran Doherty Wall. Oh, my eyes! Just look at this thing I discovered on a gable wall in West Belfast. It's not exactly a mural but a painting on boards, which have been joined together and framed. The subject of this art atrocity is republican hunger striker, Kieran Doherty, who died in 1981 after 73 days without food. I've no idea who the 'artist' of this piece is, but he or she should be stopped from inflicting such art crimes on the general public. Lou Reed's Berli...

The Great Wee Azoo: Moron Moments - Corn Market Upgrade
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2008/08/moron-moments-corn-market-upgrade.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Moron Moments - Corn Market Upgrade. The modernisation work on Belfast city centre's tired pavements is well underway. In the main, the results are impressive. Yet, I'm surprised that no one thought to relocate the electricity box that stood beside the old bandstand in Corn Market. Now that the bandstand is gone, the electricity box stands alone and incongrous in the middle of Corn Market, at the approach to the new Victoria Centre. The Great Wee Azoo. The Great Wee Azoo.

The Great Wee Azoo: Enormous Turnip Awards - Chronicles of Long Kesh
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2009/01/chronicles-of-long-kesh.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Enormous Turnip Awards - Chronicles of Long Kesh. Martin Lynch's Chronicles of Long Kesh,. Which finishes its debut run at Belfast's Waterfront Hall this evening, should perhaps have been subtitled Carry On Up The Kesh,. Such was its jokey tone and lack of any intellectual or political depth. I'd never seen a Lynch play before, so I had nothing to measure it against, although it was hard not to be reminded of Steve McQueen's 2008 film, Hunger. As we got a singsong and a roll-c...

The Great Wee Azoo: Advertising Standards Authority vs Free Presbyterian Church
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2008/11/asa-vs-free-presbyterian-church.html
Saturday, November 22, 2008. Advertising Standards Authority vs Free Presbyterian Church. The Advertising Standards Authority has this week ruled that The Belfast News Letter was in breach of The Committee of Advertising Practice Code Clause 5.1. In publishing a full-page advertisement from Sandown Free Presbyterian Church. Seven people complained to the ASA, who initially recommended that the complaints should not be upheld, although noted that a final decision would be taken by its Council. Commenting ...

The Great Wee Azoo: Moron Moments - Lord Maginnis
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2007/01/moron-moments-lord-maginnis.html
Wednesday, January 24, 2007. Moron Moments - Lord Maginnis. Since the Police Ombudsman's unmasking of the RUC as a corrupt entity, unionist opinion has been muted or steeped in denial. Over the last few days, Lord Maginnis has provided the loudest voice of opposition to Nuala O'Loan's investigation. On another occasion, after witnesses noted the killer of Gary Convie and Eamon Fox had a goatee beard, Special Branch officers allowed Informer One to shave off his goatee while in police custody. Confronted ...

The Great Wee Azoo: Welcome to the Great Wee Azoo
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2006/09/welcome-to-great-wee-azoo_12.html
Tuesday, September 12, 2006. Welcome to the Great Wee Azoo. Many years ago, somewhere between the Age of Internment and the Age of the Internet, Belfast City Councillor and Ulster Unionist, Jim Rogers was filmed by local TV at Belfast Zoo. Mr Rogers was complaining - as he often does - about some crisis at the zoo. I can't actually remember what he was prattling about, although I think it may have had something to do with a proposal to close the zoo. This is a great wee azoo! The Great Wee Azoo. Northern...

The Great Wee Azoo: Enormous Turnip Awards - Clapham Junction
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2007/07/enormous-turnip-awards-clapham-junction.html
Monday, July 23, 2007. Enormous Turnip Awards - Clapham Junction. Written by Kevin Elyot and broadcast last night on Channel 4 as part of it's Gay Season, should perhaps have been subtitled 'One Ring to Bind Them All' since its narrative centred around the meanderings of a civil partnership wedding band through the lives of a group of gay men in London. Laid bare the writer's internal homophobia. What followed had little to say about the lives of gay men in 2007. Later, one of the awfully polite women at...

The Great Wee Azoo: Moron Moments - Hain, Bell and Stone
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2006/11/moron-moments-hain-bell-and-stone.html
Monday, November 27, 2006. Moron Moments - Hain, Bell and Stone. Local ventriloquist doll and Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Eileen Bell, has accomplished a feat that would have previously seemed impossible. She has ensured Ian Paisley's "No," actually means "Yes.". Although Dr Paisley noted on Friday that he was in no position to make a nomination to the Northern Ireland Assembly, due to Sinn Fein's inaction on policing, Mrs Bell announced otherwise. The attack that followed was darkly comic,...

The Great Wee Azoo: Morrissey vs Ultravox - Belfast Waterfront Hall
http://thegreatweeazoo.blogspot.com/2009/05/morrissey-vs-ultravox-belfast.html
Monday, May 04, 2009. Morrissey vs Ultravox - Belfast Waterfront Hall. Morrissey has always enjoyed an iconic position in popular music, buoyed by an army of loyal fans, some of whom were observed passing letters and gifts to their idol as he showcased his new album, Years of Refusal. At Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on Saturday night. Nothing beyond recent single, I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris. Were wholly absent, while tracks from You Are The Quarry. And the mournful, Seasick, Yet Still Docked. There&#...
