Gday all,

Very good reports hurtling across the world to me about the Ballymena ASAP event last Monday Jan 30.

We got film of it all, the laughter was great, the facilitators and other speakers were great and LOADS of people were there.

And thanks to John Toal and his show for the great last minute blast of publicity. Plenty of local people heard us on Saturday Magazine.

Well done everybody, says Baglady who, as promised, has not deserted the scene, but is looking up from below/Down Under… to see how yez are all doing with ASAP

AND getting a cast of thousands ready to speak from the brilliant Blue Mountains, and other Aussie parts….

Do not adjust your screens, this is really happening, and not a moment too soon…. Best, S the B

URGENT GOOD NEWS from Baglady

Gday this is Baglady, safe in the Blue Mountains after my ASAP journey across the world and ‘Australia’ from October 30 to December 21.

Have you heard about Ballymena ASAP?

It’s happening on Monday January the 30th, 11am-4pm at the Braid Centre in Ballymena

To be honest, it sounds as if it’s going to be amazing. At least 80 people – but room for more if you book now [see website] and it’s FREE, thanks to the Mayor and Ballymena Borough Council and a lot of hard work by Baglady Productions, and many others in many fields.

If you can’t come, we understand at this late notice, but PLEASE pass on this beautiful piece of NI Good News to all your friends and family. Anywhere in the world. Let’s rock Mother Earth gently back onto her axis.

I will be there on the day! ASAP of course, which means virtual travel. But I’ll be there, on the film I made with Gary Caganoff yesterday. And Danny Joyce is filming the event so we’ll all be able to see what goes on in Ballymena on Youtube etc.

Bairbre de Brun MEP + Shirley the Baglady

What’s happening today? Getting ready to edit my own film again, at last, for the Baglady’s Big ASAP Journey… writing this, also generating thumbnails, uploading clips, and recording Voice Candys, exhausting….

No Baglady. It’s ALL in your mind, that exhaustion… you are not hungry, you are not thirsty, you have shelter, clothes, and something to look forward to. UR truly lucky Baglady. So cut the crap and just DO it!

2 wks to go in NI….! 2 wks in GB. Maybe a quick train-hop over to Bruxelles mes chers, been invited by Bairbre de Brun! who stole Baglady’s bell, one Christmas long ago outside the great door of St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast/Beal Feirste.

Baglady’s bell is a recycled stunner made by Bo Vance from some, would’ve been wasted, metal from somewhere and!! have a listen! I shall play Baglady’s and Bairbre’s bell for you at the coming wake [Ballyeamon Barn 30th October] of my departure, and tell you the FoE story, behind it… and the laugh we all had together, in front of the cameras….

and while I’m at it this is a MASSIVE thank-you to all the journalists, photographers, filmmakers and newspersons

Yup I could be a delegate at – A social green revolution; towards and after COP 17 in Bruxelles hosted by Bairbre de Brun MEP but I don’t know how to find the time
But Baglady, it’s only 2 hrs 19mins de Londres a Paris, so it can’t be much more to Bruxelles, let’s zoom on it [please BBC??]

Well Baglady’s going to Sheffield and WHO has she in her sights in Sheffield?…..

then there’s York. And a friend of Karen’s and Betty’s. ‘Betty’s’! the most delicious pies and pastries and was it jam? marmalade in the whole world…

Hope you have all pledged ASAP! if not start NOW!

wake up world!

Green candidate Tony Juniper endorses ‘The Rubbish Diet’

Published on April 18, 2009 in Film. Leave a Comment Tags: , , .

Our friend Karen over at The Rubbish Diet recently caught up with former Friends of the Earth director, now Green Party candidate Tony Juniper.

 

By cutting down the amount we’re putting in the bin, we can make a huge reduction to our overall carbon footprint, and advance the cause of social equity: because in the end, there’s only so many resources to go around… if just a few of us in the global population are using everything, that’s going to be a real block on ending poverty in the future.

 

Rubbish is more than an inconvenience; it’s a global issue.

 

Delusions or Grandeur?

Respect: What’s YOUR word, What does it mean to you?

Published on February 6, 2009 in Film. 2 Comments Tags: , .

RESPECT is the cornerstone of the Baglady ethos; if we all think about it more often, the world won’t be in such a mess, and our lives will be much happier. Here, Mehary from Lalibela, Ethiopia, tells us his word for RESPECT, and what it means to him.

TELL US: What’s the word for RESPECT in your language? What does RESPECT mean to you?

Send us piks, drawings, poems, whatever…
