i'd be the first one to decry shallow image-based politics but if you knew you was having a photo took that was gonna be turned into big posters that wd be asking people to vote for you who didn't know you then surely

Linda Ervine's soft voice and gentle manner bely a formidable passion for the Irish language - and for why Northern Ireland's Protestant community should take it up."There is every reason why Protestants should be learning Irish," she said. "Ninety-five percent of our place names come from Gaelic… We are using words in our language every day that come from the Gaelic language. We are steeped in it."

they appeared at a local wedding i dragged ms mac to a couple years back, it was up the coast a bit and wild enough of a spot and she was lairy enough of the locals as it was (she was not helping herself with her mary poppins vocal delivery and mannerisms, quite frankly) and when these yahoos in what she (understandably? idk, they're just strawboys to me like) took to be wicker klan outfits jumped out of the back room and rushed the band she was scrambling for the exits ah good times
she has told me a million times and more that we will never settle anywhere near the island ;_;

it's a bit murky but the origin i always believed is uninvited neighbouring lads after a bit of grub/drink/fighting/dancing crashed in disguise and it spiralled from there into something that terrifies visitors, which imo is the best type of tradition

i'd say that story is an excuse after the fact cos that headgear looks v ancient and evil to me

ah yeah i'd say they had the hats lying around from rituals beyond speaking like, but the crashing the wedding thing was separate
my aunt danced with one up beyond the horseshoe bridge one night and when he took the hat off it was the devil himself she says, and she swears left hoofprints on the rocks that are there yet as he ran away from her (she never said what it was made him take off in the interim but i know the woman with years and can offer a few suggestions and when we said (round eyed, cos the devil was the only man that could friken you when you were seven out wesht, him and the banshee from darby o'gill) could we go and see the rocks and the prints she snorted and said 'the rocks will be long gone you eejits but i know for a fact the prints are still on them' this is the kind of rearing we got
years later we got our own back when we slipped an unsuspecting cousin the wrong lotto results and sent him up to the kitchen (we were never let near the kitchen) with what we knew to be her numbers and i know for a fact her handprints are still on my arse

I think a thread of 'post pictures of your local sports teams' (focusing on things like darts and bowls and dominoes etc.) would be entertaining.

was watching a thing called Coast on iPlayer, they were supposed to travel up the west coast from Galway to Arranmore. was quite disappointing - Achill got maybe 30 seconds of airtime while there was a whole segment on Morse code with the guy from Scrapheap Challenge that was incredibly dull.
