Quote from: seafoid on January 30, 2024, 02:20:01 PMAt some point the DUP will give way to the UUP. But when?

I still don't see that happening.

There'll be even more hardening of views if SF keep maintaining good voting strength with Alliance picking up the middle ground and squeezing the UUP and to a lesser extent the DUP voters who realise the inevitability of a UI in whoever's lifetime, but the demographics are only going the one way.

Wee Jamie would be better riding all round himself to preserve the union.

Quote from: johnnycool on January 29, 2024, 12:10:59 PMSince that last storm on Sunday night my Fibrus connection is still down and lying by the roadside less than a mile from my home.

Absolute shít show and TBH with them being so small of an outfit, kinda expected by very disappointing


Redundancies coming with them now too as well

The firm that fitted out the broadband are a Tyrone based company that Fibrus acquired to do the work, they have done the work so would obviously have to let go of staff as work is done, couldn't expect them to keep workers on to fit out when there is nothing to fit.

The problem is maintaining the lines, Johnny wouldn't be on his own after that storm a week is a long time in a house with kids and no broadband! Good luck lol

Feckin nightmare.

My biggest problem at the minute is the lack of information from Fibrus.

I'm using their whatsapp thingy which in itself isn't bad but get a different story from whoever I finally get through to, twice a day, every day.
I was told I'd be reconnected last Wednesday, it come and went and nothing, whatsapped them again, it will definitely be the weekend, Saturday or Sunday. Once again it came and went. Yesterday I was told it would definitely be today, but being the sneaky bollox I am, I called viberoptix directly and they told me they weren't scheduled by Fibrus to go out here today, but did inform me that they are scheduled to be out tomorrow, but Fibrus may change that at any time...

Quote from: Brendan on January 29, 2024, 08:06:24 PMGod its all so hilarious. How long can Donaldson go on as leader with no authority
This is what Donaldson did to Trimble.
Will Jamie Bryson move to the UUP?

Eh, there's no way Doug Beattie would entertain him, Doug is trying to get a few more Army type people like him in to tell the natives how to behave...

Let's see how Tim Collins does against Farry in North Down who both the DUP and UUP have targeted but as yet have failed to unseat.

12 of the starting 15 were four masters and another 8 in the subs.

Quote from: imtommygunn on January 30, 2024, 08:43:33 AMWhen is the Jamie Bryson joke over?

You feel a bit for Donaldson then you remember what trailer says. What is that song you lie down with dogs you get fleas etc.

To an extent.

Nolan exalted Bryson up the ranks as a voice for Loyalism and Donaldson got suckered into it and went with it as it suited his agenda.
Now he's being foisted on his own petard..

It's hard to have sympathy with Donaldson but we all saw this happening years ago, but he lacked the balls to deal with his own party the way he should have and it's come to this.

Quote from: PadraicHenryPearse on January 27, 2024, 02:10:28 PMcommitting genocide fine, supply weapons, support Israel.

allegation of a few UNWRA involvement with Hamas and US/UK suspend funding...

How anyone could trust either countries or govt on anything when they haven't shown signs of having any humanity or morals regarding Israel and Palestine... shameful.

An allegation from the Israelis themselves is that right?

yes, the intelligence is a result of interrogations of militants who were arrested during the 7 October attack, Israel have also killed over 100 UNWRA employees since start of Oct.

UNHWR have fired 10 staffers over this, so there must be some evidence they were involved

Probably was out of 30K staff but no issues with the blatant genocide carried out by Israel yet the "aid" still keeps coming.

US, UK and their compatriots are genocide supporters and the world knows it.

The Houtis have killed three US soldiers by a drone strike in some US military base in Syria, which is meant to be illegal....

Genocide Joe will need to react.

Klopp now on the market  ;D

The timing is right, he leaves the club in rude health playing wise and I wouldn't bet against them winning the PL.

He'll not get involved in coaching for at least a year and then a big club like Real Madrid will be his next stop.
