He’s obviously a gamer

Surely  the more someone spends  in games (driving , shoot-up games etc)  the more that sort of  reality  becomes normal in their real  life?  If you go around shooting  characters on a screen ,  would it not increase the likelihood of them  doing similar  in real life?

The final  nail in the coffin  to  opposition to  the Brits  legacy bill

It’s clearly not  working. Putting these  poor fellas who served their country  through the courts , blah blah blah

It’s soccer. 

And any  Irish person  correcting someone for calling it  soccer needs  to have a word with   themselves

Chelsea's transfer business in this window is like fantasy football. Even Potter must be thinking what the hell is going on.

JAnuary window  is usually a farce  but transfers in general are just so ... meh.  Maybe it’s getting older or maybe  I don’t care as much ,  but 99% of transfers I’m like , who the hell is that?

Ah to go back to the days  when Dean Saunders has signed for Villa , or Ruel Fox has left Norwixh , and  John Hartson is on the move again.  Players you knew , with names you could pronounce.  I just can’t  get any connection with a team full of  players  from Uruguay Kazakhstan and Djibouti  with unpronounceable names

How do I  register for  this bbc iplayer thing?

I don’t like giving  those bbc arses my details.

So what is the best way to do this?

If they stream it on the website, as they say, then you should not have to register.

Apparently not

I tried to watch  one of the fa cup  matches on bbc site and  it’s saying I need to register

People who get weapons training in any military or police force would have it drilled into them to be completely paranoid about aiming their weapon carelessly.
It's a complete no-no. You'd wonder what daft notion this soldier took.

Daft notion ??
The only daft notion here would be to accept as any way factual the whole accidental discharge / ricochet/ wet hands nonsense that’s been weaved and spun for 3 decades now by the Brit’s and their collaborators in the free state permanent government.

This Holden p***k ( if he even was the trigger man , which I personally doubt) won’t see a day of jail time I’d say - I do hope I am wrong but if you were putting money on the outcome it’ll be some wishy washy wrist slap due to ill health , too long ago , etc etc
The whole f**king thing is a circus
My thoughts are with the family , a few of which I know very well , good honest people .

Correct. That’s  what makes it all  the more sickening  for me.

I often wondered why  Britain took Tyrone and Fermanagh.  Both counties had  nationalist majorities 100 years ago,  and A lot of the land  in both counties  is quite poor, is it not?  And frig me , some parts of both counties are wild, desolate hellholes. Both counties  were probably more trouble than they were worth , especially when it came  to policing  their borders with the south.  Tyrone had a natural border with Armagh  (blackwater) and with Lough Neagh. Easier patrolled there so it was

 I can understand taking  Derry , as Britain would still have  Derry port/Lough foyle and access to the  North Atlantic

I think they needed a minimum size for long term viability and the Taig population was less than 1/3 and everything would always be the same

Yes , as you say ,  6 counties is a minimum size for long term  viability but  that will go out the window  if push come to shove and unionists would settle for less  to maintain their majority.  Thats Derry Fermanagh and Tyrone gone

When you look at the infrastructure map of the north , and unionism’s  blatant  disregard for anything west of the bann , maybe they knew  their acre of ground  would have to narrow so they looked after their own corner of the field

The Politicians and Silly Servants in charge of running NI are the most overpaid and underworked incompetent arseholes anywhere on planet earth.

A5
Casement
Dungiven Bypass
Westlink (M2/M3)
Omagh shared campus
RHI
Enniskillen Hospital
And on it goes... Millions upon millions wasted.

If everyone involved in those projects were transported to Antarctica would we notice they were gone?

Antarctica , another cold  house for nationalists

Out of interest,  how much would you likely pay for a week on  a Mediterranean cruise ?

Not my thing but herself  talks about it

For a couple, I'd say you'd be looking at in the region of 3k.  Obviously, there's different standards of cruises, I reckon the likes of Royal Carribbean or MSC would be in the 3k range for a couple, add in 2 or 3 kids and you wouldn't be long getting to 5k for a week. You also need to consider cost of flights to get to the ship in the first place.  Definitely not the cheapest of holidays.

Frig that , a couple of nights  in bundoran will do her rightly

Armagh is the  only city in Ireland  not served by a railway. And I honestly don’t see that ever changing  as that would entail just  extending the line from portadown., then stopping.  It would hardly extend  further to Keady, Monaghan etc

A line from portadown to Derry is  more likely (although still not likely) as a continuous line, through dungannon, omagh etc .
