Disgraceful to hear the dignified people of Garvaghy Road described as a ‘mob’ - they are standing up for themselves as a community and I am sure would prefer to be getting on with their lives.

Some thoughts on writing about architecture, as I get close to finishing the book... Vol. xxvi of Irish Architectural & Decorative Studies had a v interesting review by Prof Tadhg O'Keeffe of the Pevsner books in Ireland as a series - he made some comments on the use of adjectives by historians...
Quick screen shot of the page of the review, where T O'K calls out architectural historians for using 'chummy, rather pompous' adjectives and judgements about buildings - like calling them 'dry and lifeless' or 'stocky' or 'chunky' etc.
