POWER OF THE BLOG
The blog has been credited with a number of attributes, not all flattering, over the past four years but breaking new ground (no pun intended) in archaeology is a first for Huttonian. If you visit http://www.oldwarrenpointforum.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=708 you will see that members of a local history club were not aware of the existence of a very striking Dolmen (possibly a burial tomb) until coming across this image from the blog of about two years ago. A link to an archaeological site with information about similar sites in Ireland in one of the posts is worth following. It is astonishing that this unrecorded feature has remained 'unknown' for so long in recent times anyhow. (I remember my aunt telling me about it as a good 'walk to point' in the 1950s) So strike one for Huttonian.
As usual with the odd (npi) bloggee exception has been taken to my 'humour'-although not recognised as such in this instance. Hint to Norn Iron Bloggers: to be safe, keep off religion. What else is there to laugh at? Asked an Ulster acquaintance of mine?
Well, still beware. As it has often been said, religous/political jokes in deeply divided societies are:
No Laughing Matter.
