Desmond7 Posted 23 October , 2007 Share Posted 23 October , 2007 Should I stick to the pen ...? There is a warfare theme. Took a few minor liberties but it's for a general audience http://www.ballymenatimes.com/news/VIDEO-N...mena.3404995.jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Barbara Posted 23 October , 2007 Share Posted 23 October , 2007 Very much enjoyed that, good work that man!. I've watched Sharpe many times and never realised there was a real one, anyone who did what he did deserves a spot on the town trail at least, come on Ballymena council!! Barbara...

John_Hartley Posted 23 October , 2007 Share Posted 23 October , 2007 I think the history presentation was fine. I also enjoyed the expensive digital enhancement that had gone into making the presenter look younger and thinner than earlier real life photos indicate.

Jim Clay Posted 23 October , 2007 Share Posted 23 October , 2007 Appetite whetted for a video-doc of Ballymena history - got 2 (count 'em) different stills, and a broken but interesting talk by Mr B - I really must throw out the dial-up and get into the 21st century. Innit. Sounded good, Des. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montbrehain Posted 23 October , 2007 Share Posted 23 October , 2007 Well done Des, very interesting. When so many places are reaching back to their history , of course your right in saying the grave should be on the local history trail.

AndyHollinger Posted 24 October , 2007 Share Posted 24 October , 2007 Wow ... Great Job ... now, how would you describe your "manner of speech" ... I don't think you have an accent, but then, you're not from Texas. Great job ... interesting, just long enough ... and beautiful setting ... the poppy cross was a nice touch ... you?

Desmond7 Posted 24 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 October , 2007 Ta for all kind comments - I am working up to a Nov 11 piece if all goes well. For Andy in Texas ... my accent would be kindly described as 'Ulster-Scots' by some; culchie by others and Ballymena (hi) by most in Norn Iron. Everytime I hear my pronunciation of the word 'status' ... I cringe. But what the hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
