Bending Over Backwards To Encourage Obesity
It seems a fitting title in light of the recent hunger striker memorials; tonight I watched a documentary presented by overweight comedian Ricky Grover on BBC Three (part of their Body Image Season) entitled F*** off, I'm fat. Subtle, eh? The documentary… more »
Faith And Duty - Book Review
It seemed like a good idea at the time I started reading the book to post a review of it on Everything Ulster, being that it's content is relevant to the situation here in Northern Ireland and all. Of course on finishing the book I remembered I hadn't a… more »

Having purchased Faith And Duty from a Belfast bookshop some time back, I broguht it to Botanic Gardens with me last time I ventured out to enjoy the sunshine here (about a month ago then) but didn't open it. Today when I returned to Botanic it was still… more »
Omagh Bomb Was Britain's Fault
