Most Useless Building In Belfast
The most useless building in Belfast…and I include the Ulster-Scots Agency “The Big Hoos for Dafties”
Ulster-Scots: You Couldnt Make It Up
Ulster Scots….You cant make it up. Well actually I think they DID make it up. Some photographs from the Ulster-Scots Agency. Remember this is a LANGUAGE. It beggars belief how much money has been squandered on this nonsense.
Laird …Story? What Story?
So the two minute BBC Norn Iron TV News bulletin at 7.58am did not mention Laird Laird. It is item #3 on the local BBC News teletext service. Yet at 8am the story (with that of fellow peers Cunningham and … Continue reading
BBC Ulster Scots (sic) Word Of The Day
I was inspired by a thread on Slugger O’Toole to look up the Ulster-Scots (please dont snigger) word for “scoundrel”. I did not have far to look because it is actually the Word of the Day on the BBC Ulster … Continue reading

Robert Burns …..Jacobite to Jacobin
It is somewhat ironic that in their search to find a culture……Unionists discovered the Ulster-Scots Culture and decided to honour Robert “Rabbie” Burns……..Burns Night being 25th January……..it seems almost churlish to point out that Robert Burns was born in 1759……..just … Continue reading
