[Jeff did not say they were unknown people]

So Jeffrey was  threatened , by  an unnamed person(s).  Very convenient 

So now he's  reduced the heat on himself and Colm  Eastwood even coming  out in support of him.

He should have  turned on the tears as well. That   would have  put the tin hat on it

Threatened by an unknown person who, when he checked hadn't voted!
How can he check if someone voted? I thought that was anonymous?
Can't be an unknown person if he knows them!

Whole thing is a deflection....ironic give  he said he wouldn't be deflected.

No sympathy for him, I don't condone threats, I mean the situation he and the dup are in. Its self made and we are all suffering for their party politics.

Jeff did not say they were unknown people, it's possible he could have checked earlier online comments made. Wasn't it Donaldson who threatened Trimble back in the day?
I see he was spoofing about all the alterations to the protocol that he alone was able to negotiate.

My bad, I misread unnamed as unknown.
I still don't understand how he can check if someone voted.

He's full of it. Don't believe a word he says to be honest and I'm surprised so many have been taken in by the performance.
I was never a huge fan of SDLPs Eastwood, but he seriously went down in my estimations yesterday with how he responded. He's right to condemn threats of course, but good god.

You get checked off if you vote. Register can be viewed, just not who you voted for.

Saltburn.  Beautifully shot, very well acted. Plot a bit shit though. Just about watchable. 4/10

Agree.

[riding and nudity!]

Here lads... ye only thought Saltburn was mental.

Wait until you watch Poor Things. It's completely batshit from start to finish. Weird and disgusting and funny well acted and completely bananas.

I still haven't decided if it's good or bad yet but I'm leaning towards good. I laughed more in shock than humour.

It's worth a look but not for the faint of heart plenty of gore and riding and nudity!

I'm interested to hear anyone else's take on it.

Emma Stone is a shoo in for the Oscar after it.

I'm in!

Got a new Breville barista max over the Christmas period. Had a Nespresso machine but wanted stronger coffee. Great machine at around £270 in the Black Friday sale on Amazon. Takes while getting used to trying to perfect it but once you get going.

Once they want out of their pram!

Started watching Criminal Record on Apple TV, good show so far.

Decent start alright.

Anyone watch True detective yet?

Watched it last night. Not feeling it so far.

First episode reminded me a lot of Fortitude

Don't say that lol!

The wing mirrors in the car are not folding closed when I lock the car.. I know first world problems but, is there a quick fix?

Cut a potato in half and rub it over the wing mirrors. Then drive to a fork in the road and throw the Prost to the left road.

Is there no strikers in the u-21's? Seem to be wheeling out young lads all over the pitch bar up front.

My free view got the bog standard Tg4/ rte 1& 2( non HD). Got a new Ariel which got me all HD RTE & standard virgin ire channels (and holy radio lol) up around the 800's. I have to frequently retune the free view however to keep these channels live.  Think this to do with a split cable to front and back of house.

Don't underestimate the loss of a fully fit Martinez. He's that player who can drive a team even from Centre half. Most of that starting lineup last night should the subs bench. A good defensive midfielder could have possibly prevented those goals but last night Utd were chronic. ETH isn't doing himself any favours but what could anew mange do with that squad ?? It would be Groundhog Day. Again.

Second lowest goal scorers in the league level with Luton. Never thought I'd see those sort of stats for a Utd team.

What's the latest on the mini takeover? And what will be achieved by this? Immediate changes, long term plan or both?

Hard to know whether to stick with ETH or not. I would say yes as they can't keep just sacking the manager. Lots of players to come back from injury, whether they are  much better than what they currently have remains to be seen. One thing is though they don't have any forwards to come back who will add goals. Is there money available in Jan? If so they will probably get shafted.

Announced today. 25% takeover and full control of all mens, womens and academy teams. Its a step in the right direction

A deal in place for some time and announcing it on Christmas eve after another defeat is typical of the Glazers PR.

Remains to be seen what difference it makes. Having someone else run the football operations that aren't as clueless as the Glazers business men buddies is a step in the right direction but the use of revenue generated by the club, investment into the club and the management of debt remain issues that directly impact football operations. Without full control of the club, INEOS will to some degree be operating with their hands tied in terms of football operations. Main question is should one expect a significant change when the club is in Glazer rather than INEOS control?

Don't quote me on this but I think i read somewhere that Sir Jim/Ineos can put money into the club and they get voting shares back in return

Not sure of the nuts and bolts but this is correct

Sympathies to GAA Board member jonnycool and the entire family circle on the passing of their father. A hurling stalwart of Club, County and Province. The "Cur" will be long remembered throughout the Ards and indeed the Country for his exploits and straight talking

RIP

Sorry to hear this. Sympathies to Johnnycool and family. RIP.

My condolences JC. May he rest in peace.

Utd's  midfield today is Mainoo, McTominay(Capt) & Amrabat

Great advert for hurling over the past 2 days. Should be an evenly contested final which will be good. Hard luck Cushendall, great effort. A few bad decisions at the end when going forward could have pushed to extra time but Gaels always looked like pushing on.

Some ding dong
