Urban Dictionary: Belfast Edition – Áine Carson

https://ainecarson.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/urban-dictionary-belfast-edition

Published articles and blog posts. Urban Dictionary: Belfast Edition. Date: July 9, 2015. A lot of hits to this blog are from people wondering what the fuck it is we’re talking about. If it’s not Irish or Ulster Scats, it’s slang or acronym that we’re all fluent in. So to help the tourists who’ve came here for the delights of Orangefest and Féile. Here’s a heads up on our graffiti and gang culture. All Cops Are Bastards. Ballysillan Blurt Busters. Doesn’t need explained. Beechmount Reaction Force. Po...

Boxing Club 1 Me 0 – Áine Carson

https://ainecarson.wordpress.com/2016/10/28/boxing-club-1-me-0

Published articles and blog posts. Boxing Club 1 Me 0. Date: October 28, 2016. IF you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll know I’m almost a full year into my Britney breakdown stroke mid life crisis. The reinvention of self is ongoing. In my spare time, I do something new to bring on a heart attack or amuse. You know and I know that I hate the gym and unless I’m dancing with a bottle of beer in my hand, I have the speed of a sloth on heroin. The instructor is really sound and was welcoming and encouraging ...

Culture Night: Was it the middle class Twelfth? – Áine Carson

https://ainecarson.wordpress.com/2016/09/18/culture-night-was-it-the-middle-class-twelfth

Published articles and blog posts. Culture Night: Was it the middle class Twelfth? Date: September 18, 2016. It wasn’t Twelfth culture in a King Billy sense but the freedom to take over Belfast City Centre and roam free with alcohol in hand, disguised as celebrating the arts. The real arts, not the seasonal type that turns the city into a fenian free zone. It was rumoured the on street drinking laws would be over looked for the night, some people decanted their beverages into plastics and made their way ...

A REVIEW: THE GOOD ROOM – Áine Carson

https://ainecarson.wordpress.com/2016/08/11/a-review-the-good-room

Published articles and blog posts. A REVIEW: THE GOOD ROOM. Date: August 11, 2016. I received a short notice invite to attend a play in An Cultúrlann with a mate. What is it about? I asked. I’ve no idea, he replied. You had me at no idea. Pick me up and I’ll go, says I. It’s a one woman show starring Julie Maxwell, who previously played the lead character of Maria in Fionnuala Kennedy’s critically acclaimed ‘Hostel’. It centres on the type of house everyone had, family relationships, well-known local cha...

Game of Thrones, The Cuan

http://thesarahstory.com/game-of-thrones-the-cuan

A Game of Thrones Banquet at The Cuan. Last week, I wrote about how Tall Ships. Fever had taken over Northern Ireland. Game of Thrones fever has been thriving in Northern Ireland since the HBO series premiered in 2011. For those who are not aware, a lot of the series is filmed in NI, with locations such as the north coast and Castle Ward as well as Titanic Studios. When I noticed a Game of Thrones banquet advertised, I had to go. I asked my friend Bex, from Faeriwood. And she agreed without hesitating.

Your Offence Offends Me | Its still only thursday

https://itsstillonlythursday.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/your-offence-offends-me

Its still only thursday. Yes it's been a successful week…. Your Offence Offends Me. It seems that there is an element within Irish nationalism that is offended by everything the Loyalist/Unionist community does. They’re offended by parades, offended by bonfires, offended by certain historical facts, offended by the names of a small number of bands, offended by the sight of Orange men walking to Church, offended by flags, offended by red-white-and-blue bunting, offended by almost everything. Shinner-Bots:...

Shinner-Bots: Stirring the pot in the name of Sinn Fein | Its still only thursday

https://itsstillonlythursday.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/shinner-bots-stirring-the-pot-in-the-name-of-sinn-fein

Its still only thursday. Yes it's been a successful week…. Shinner-Bots: Stirring the pot in the name of Sinn Fein. What PIRA/SF don’t want you to know! Where do they all come from? Not Nearly as Anonymous as They Think. Show Me The Money! It is laughable. These desperate, bitter, angry people are as far away from their political goals now as they were 30 years ago and so, rather than come up with some new, innovative approach, they resort to childlike, almost tragically comic tactics. Setting up...My ad...
