Black Bog
Black Bog is a raised bog in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, situated about 17km west of Cookstown. It is one of the two largest intact active bogs in Northern Ireland with hummock and hollow pool complexes and represents one of the best examples of this habitat type in the United Kingdom.
Features
The raised bog which covers most of the site contains the full range of characteristic vegetation and structural features associated with this type of habitat and is surrounded by cut-over bog with poor fen.
Ramsar site
The Black Bog Ramsar site (wetlands of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention), is 183.42 hectares in area, at Latitude 54 40 21 N and Longitude 07 01 00 W. It was designated a Ramsar site on 14 December 1999. It is a large and relatively intact example of a lowland raised bog. The site qualifies under criterion 1a of the Ramsar Convention by being a particularly good representative example of lowland raised bog.
Flora and fauna
Black Bog is especially important because of its extensive hummock-hollow complex, high cover of Sphagnum species and largely intact lagg. There are some very large sphagnum hummocks. The bog surface features an unusual plant community with locally high cover of Crowberry and large hummocks of Cladonia impexa.

Desperate
by: Black 47Go to the church, but the preacher he just preach at me
Go to the club, but the women oh they know me
Want a relationship, I wanna have a family
I'm schizophrenic paranoid, tell me what is wrong with me
Desperate, I'm desperate, why won't you hold me?
Desperate, Desperate for the next moment
Desperate, I'm desperate, I feel so lonely!
Desperate, Desperate for the next moment
I'm... so... desperate, baby
I think it was my birthday when you last...
When you last...
Ooh! Ah!
Go for a job, but they don't like the look of me
(...) this is not 1970
Want Rosie O'Donnell, she think I'm to kinky
She don't like perverts, why ain't I a yuppie?
Desperate, I'm desperate, why won't you hold me?
Desperate, Desperate for the next moment
Desperate, I'm desperate, I feel so lonely!
Desperate, Desperate for the next moment
Desperate, I'm desperate, why won't you hold me?
Desperate, Desperate for the next moment
Desperate, I'm desperate, why won't you hold me?
Desperate, Desperate for the next moment
Desperate, You make me jump around!
I reach up in the sky, I'll take it off the ground
Desperate, You make me dance and sing!
Oh come on to me, baby, do the right thing
The London girls make me, Desperate
The Brooklyn girls make me, Desperate
The Irish girls make me, Desperate
Jamaican girls make me, Desperate
(Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!)
Desperate!
I'm so desperate, baby now!
Desperate! (...)
(Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!)
I'm so desperate, baby now!
