How about a talk entitled 'A(nother) New Era for the North'? I seem to have notes on that somewhere that could be rehashed. wink

One of our comrades is due to come over to the Bookfair. Not sure about a talk on Defy ID though. We'll have to ask him and others.

Boul would not drink that pish water. Smithwicks, Bass, lagerwise mibbe Carlsberg, Estrella, or at a push Heiniken, sometimes Guiness, the odd Newkie Brown but never, no matter how desperate, will I ever drink Harp. It is effin vile.

The new Blogspot for the 2nd Belfast Anarchist Bookfair.

Links to other groups have still to be added, but its certainly less garish than last years.

Someone, somewhere, must know who this guy is. We need to find him and do a "where are they now?" thing with him - like Time Magazine did with the little girl in that classic photo from Vietnam.
