#OTD in Irish History | 7 February:

1873 – Death of journalist, novelist, and short story writer, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, in Dublin. He is often called the father of the modern ghost story. Although Le Fanu was one of the most popular writers of the Victorian era, he is not so widely read anymore. His best-known works include Uncle Silas (1864), a suspense story, and The House by the Churchyard (1863), a murder mystery. His…

Okay. I’d say that David Trimble is the SECOND most undeserving nobel peace prize winner.

So when the GFA was being set up David Trimble insisted on the titles being first and deputy first minister because he wanted unionism to be seen as "just ahead" and still have the facade of superiority but now that there's a nationalist first minister this is an issue and it should be referred to as ~joint first minister~

Top 5 Moments In History!

Ohhhh [suddenly all knowledge departs from my head]

Ask me for my Top 5

- I think way too often for no good reason about the fact that Bono went around Ireland, hyping up the Good Friday Agreement and had David Trimble & John Hume on stage, shaking hands. I know the Nobel Peace Price handshake photo is far more of a symbol, but this lives way more rentfree in my head.

- Say what you want about the man, Friedrich II. of the HRE and Sicily is still the ballsiest motherfucker ever to go on Crusade excommunicated and actually enter the Holy City by negotiating with the local muslim rulers.

- The Cadaver Synode is pretty up there, where the current pope dug up a former pope to put him on trial. The early papacy was wild.

- I wish I recalled the names of things and people involved, but the work between Protestant Priest from Hessen-Cassel and Catholic Priests to work out a reunification of the churches still is fascinating to me. I really, really wish I could recall anything, but I am not even sure rn if the Prince (Landgraf) at the time was Friedrich II. Whoever it was, he was the only post-reformation Landgraf to convert to Catholicism. I just think it is a neat piece of history, especially because the people involved in trying to mend the schism were told to stop by the Papacy at some point, but they really wanted to keep doing this. It's such a nice example of understanding, in a certain way.

- I do not care if the anecdote is true, nothing will ever be funner than the Drepanum story in the Punic Wars. "If they aren't hungry, then maybe they are thirsty." Claudius just YEETED the SACRED chickens over board. What's not to love.

#OTD in 2014 – Death of loyalist politician and Protestant religious leader, Ian Paisley.

The career of the Rev Ian Paisley, who has died aged 88, arced from origins as fiery preacher and street agitator, through decades when his harassment helped undermine mainstream unionist leaders who attempted compromise with nationalists. But aged 81 he won praise inside and outside Ireland and made global headlines for sharing the top post in a peacetime Stormont with former IRA leader Martin…

Too many people quickly forget that David Trimble was a sectarian bigot.

While he did work towards peace in the north of Ireland, the bulk of that work was done by the combined effort of John Hume, the SDLP as a whole, the civil rights movement and Sinn Fein (to an extent).

He was only in it for PR and to make unionism look good.

Anyone what says otherwise is a liar buying into Great Man Theory BULLSHIT!

Bangor receives city status in Princess Anne visit

By Mark Simpson | Published 2 December 2022

Bangor in County Down has formally received city status in a ceremony attended by the Princess Royal.

The ceremony took place at Bangor Castle with Princess Anne unveiling the city's official warrant.

City status was granted by Queen Elizabeth II to mark her platinum jubilee, three months before her death in September.

Bangor is now one of six cities in Northern Ireland, along with Belfast, Londonderry, Armagh, Lisburn and Newry.

Princess Anne said it was "always a pleasure" to visit Bangor, reminiscing on her previous trips in 2013 and 2016.

She spoke about Bangor's historical importance as a centre of learning, noting its appearance on the medieval Hereford Mappa Mundi as "civitas benair" (city of Bangor).

"I can only apologise for taking so long to make sure that in fact you are now properly a city in 2022," she said.

The princess praised recent investment in the area, adding that she hoped city-status "provides a real boost to these exciting plans".

Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris was also at the event, which was hosted by Ards and North Down Mayor Karen Douglas.

Mr Heaton-Harris said he hoped city-status would attract visitors and boost the economy.

Bangor was one of eight UK towns elevated to a city in May after a competition in which it was required to show its royal associations and cultural heritage.

Its application pointed out that in 1961 the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh visited Bangor Castle and had lunch at the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, before the duke raced in a regatta.

City status is often associated with having a cathedral, a university, or a large population.

However, there are no set rules for being granted the status, which is awarded by the monarch on advice of ministers.

Twenty years ago, Lisburn and Newry were awarded city status in a competition to mark the Queen's golden jubilee.

In the 2011 census the population of Bangor was just over 60,000.

It is situated beside the coast, at the mouth of Belfast Lough.

A number of famous faces come from Bangor, including the lead singer of Snow Patrol, Gary Lightbody, author Colin Bateman, golfer David Feherty and artist Colin Davidson.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Lord David Trimble, who died earlier this year, spent much of his early life in the town, attending Bangor Grammar, one of 19 schools in the area.

In the past it was a seaside resort which was popular with day trippers and tourists who gathered on the beach in front of the town.

In the late 1980s a marina was built, transforming the seafront.

Like many places it has been hit hard by the building of shopping centres on the outskirts of the central district.

There are plans in place to try to rejuvenate Bangor, with the hope that its new city status will help.

The city's courthouse was recently turned into a music venue, and other projects are in the pipeline.

Bangor's road signs will not change immediately to reflect its new status as a city - they will continue to refer to "town centre".

"Officials are content to liaise with Ards and North Down Borough Council representatives to consider a possible phased renewal of signs in conjunction with any replacement of signs the council is responsible for," said the Department for Infrastructure.
