Watch out for the ANPR cameras

although presumably the sick counties will keep the discs to keep the folks in Coleraine in work.

A truly great man. Without him South Africa might have become Syria. RIP.

I just finished this mini series last night and rated it very highly but the exceptions sadly bring it down to the gutter.
One of the exceptions was so blatant it destroyed any credibility the series had, and that was the portrayal of the Poles resistance (the AK) as rabid anti semites, afflicted with extreme Jewphobia and any Polish farmer in the series was generally a rabid anti semite and a collaberator with the germans. You'd wonder what perception the german filmmakers or germans in generaL  have of the Polish resistance to Nazi german occupation, but this extreme depiction in the series was so deranged it was beyond belief.
It's almost as if, yes the German were bad but the Polish resistance was worse and the Russians were just pure evil.
Compare to those 2, maybe we were not that bad.
It's not that I expect germans to wearing sackcloth and ashes about WW2, but I'd expect a half way rational account of The Polish resistance.
If you keep in mind that this series is also an exercise in crude revisionism, then it's well worth a look.

I think the comments about Poland are very valid and this series has caused controversy elsewhere. A scenario where the Polish are more anti Jew than the Germans is a very suspect. Also both the army guys killed their superiors, which is not quite typical either. The out and out Gestapo guy working in public for the Americans sounds like a stretch too. Not sure that the Russians portrayal was unfair.

Having just watched Armagh and Down on "Armagh TV", this type of Internet streaming is the way forward rather than Sky.

Well done Armagh and Armagh TV.

Did Armagh come out after half time? Down doing all the work, now +2.

That way they'll stick to their "second class" place in future and not be taking the glory that rightfully belongs to their "betters".

So we are in agreement Im not for holding innovation back by any means, but I know the effect of just dumping jobs can have not only on the families involved but the local area and people depending on the spin off opportunities.

Keep the people in employment if you wish, but get them to do something that needs doing rather than something a computer can do!

Joe will make a great manager ffs

Geez Milltown, that wasn't the point, I was referring to the Children's Group to Tackle Bullying, you'd thing they'd get adults to do it! 

The Internet payment of things, especially motor tax, is one of the aspects of ROI admin that deserves at least some praise.

That there is no internet motor tax in the 6 counties is a testimony to the profound uselessness of the local politicians and if this tax disc less arrangement comes about at least this will have to addressed. The idea that an inefficient setup is kept in place to keep some jobsworths in a job is is indicative of the sickness of the sick counties and some of the defence of this here is bizarre, even by Gaaboard non-GAA section standards. These bureaucratic procedures should be run as efficiently as possible, to reduce the cost of government. With the resources released the government can do something actually useful and provide jobs that way, this might be repairing roads in the case of motor tax but also special needs assistants, home helps etc.

It should be redistributed equally among the 6 county grounds in the north and Ulster finals should be kept in Clones.

Great idea.

Jill Ember? I knew her at Queen's, cracking girl with a few vodkas on her.

And it was their own fault wandering into South Armagh, what did they expect with their "laissez faire" attitude.

Their attitude was astonishing. It also mean that that least bit of information could lead to their deaths.

The Cavan machine must be stopped!
