Unknown as the biggest liner of its time...thousands of other unknown ships built in the yard, this wasn't one of them, irrespective of the sinking and loss of 1500 souls

As the middle child, the Titanic would not have been particularly remembered. It was only marginally larger than the Olympic due to a few small changes ot make it harder to sink, the old lags in the shipyard always reckoned the Olympic was the better ship (being the first). But the Olympic would not be much remembered either, outside H&W, had the Titanic not sank.

So it was the largest liner? And your bitterness is sad

To be honest that's a pathetic response to a point well researched and put across.

Was it not the biggest liner of its time when built?? His point is simple, he's belittling something that was some achievement for Harlands, his well researched point on the sinking of the ship was missing many other factors, but you failed to pull him on that too, armaghnaic would admit to being a bitter person anyways

I think it was Sinn Fein's fault to be honest

I've two rib eye steaks in the fridge for tonight's dinner.
Had my usual Friday breakfast roll this morning also.

That statement made me go what the f**k. It's akin to a 10 year old in the 1960s telling his mate he didn't tell all his sins in confession.

Rangers haven't even started closing the gap on Aberdeen.I wonder how much of the club's cash has been locked into this contract,cash that could have been spent on players? I would suggest Brendan's £45k per week is closer now to £60k or £70k.

I sincerely hope so.

I'd think a lot of Celtic lads had backed the draw and will now have their summer holidays paid for. It was a no brainier

D'Arcy is actually much worse on the radio. Beats me how he gets away with it.

Lads blaming refs is always the talk of people with small mentalities. A ref can influence a result with a last minute decision but the reality is that if you're relying on a refs decision going for/against you in the last minute to save/end your campaign then there's something not right. Armagh should have coasted the division with the talent available. Big thinking needed.

Tipp were robbed of promotion 2 years ago in Armagh when the Ref play 4 minutes for injuries instead of what was shown on the board which was 2 minutes , Armagh kicked the winning score in this period . So its swings and roundabouts , goes against you one day , for you the next .
Was at the game and the scenes at the end were mental . Fair play to the Armagh support , a really friendly helpful bunch , best of luck for the rest of the year !

Nice comments. Fair play to you.

I'd love to shove that trumpet up the arse of the 2 tune Cnut that's playing it

That has to be the most uninformed message ever posted on this board

R.I.P Mr Fearon

Andersen is obviously an MEP to keep her out of sight locally as she is useless. Unfortunately for SF too many of their politicians (like all parties here) are of poor quality. Some of the 'new' talent that got elected last month with huge votes are shockingly bad!

This is another example of a 'sound bite' post. Can you please provide evidence to support this statement .

For starters most of them struggle to put a sentence together but that is par for the course these days. The new crew should be a step away from the baggage of the troubles to help SF grow but many are quite happy to confirm their family links. I personally would like my public representatives to be respectable and professional and not liking daft comments about the FM on facebook like a ten year old or having their partners assault people on the street . As podge stated many of the supposed old guard aren't much better but i wouldn't be too harsh on Adams and Kelly at least they have a bit of charisma. If you want evidence regarding Andersen then re-watch pretty much any interview she has ever given

A nonsensical rant. Produce the evidence to support your claims. So far you've allude to a young western MLA who stupidly liked a comment about the FM and was publicly rebuked for it it. What else do you have to back up what you say

It's clear that Martin McGuinness was the man keeping it all together

SF seem to be losing the run of themselves and by rubbing unionist noses in it and calling for a border poll etc they are playing right into DUP hands. Expect an election in weeks, big unionist turnout coupled with lower nationalist turnout and Arlene will be back stronger than ever having 'put manners on SF'

Can you give a few examples of promises made in manifestos that were subsequently not followed through.

How are you still posting here?

?

I couldnt sleep the other night so got up and did some channel surfing, before landing on horse racing in Australia. I don't bet or follow horse racing, but the place looked warm and nice.

Anyway, you know when they lead the horses around in a circle before the jockeys mount up, do the horses ever stand on people's toes?

Did Olly frape you there Orior?
