For long enough I was the only Northern representative.

I don't think so Tony

It's not clear what caused Nicholl to withdraw his proposal but it would appear that the proposal was all but agreed.  The total funding was not required from the Borough as the proposal summary indicates and the shortfall was to come from a landfill communities fund.

By feigning injury or at the very least exaggerating it. 

Nonsense. Are u from Down?

which part of that statement is nonsense walter? im from down i have no problem in calling it as it is. it was blatant cheating, he feigned injury to try to get a player either booked or sent off.

Check the video from 11 to 14 seconds and spot the thumb fishooking Enda Lynn's mouth.  It may not have been a red card offence but certainly not cheating or feigning / exaggerating an injury.

Mick Lyons could have played any position he wanted and nobody would have argued with him or told him to get back

Well getting pissed again after what could have been a disaster of a day, seems I tried it on with one of my best friends last night. But then she came around and took me out for the day unannounced as if the night before never happened but she was cheaky all day. I was too hungover to judge it rightly, so getting drunk again to see can I remember what happened last night. Not sure if this is a wise plan, but sure I not the smartest cookie in the cookie jar.

Right  - there's the winner right there.  not one word of sense - Close 'er down now.

Where's Brick Tamlin when you need him?


"I don't know why I'm shouting"

Weird one.

Was up in the attic and noticed puncture holes in roof felt!  As if they'd been punched from the outside like a chisel or sharp stick poke through or something but there's no tiles dislodged?   Def not rats of whatever as not eaten through.

Any ideas apart from Freddie Kruger?

Starlings can sometimes get under the tiles and easily make holes like this. I had them in my attic, but you usually hear them, they are noisy as hell. Last winter they were breaking in a lot to get out of the cold.

The missus found a recently dead starling in the fireplace this evening! We have chimney guards on so the hoor must have gone some to get down the chimbley.

Philip called you a what??

Not sure if it's still there but there might be one behind the Northern Bank in Dungiven

The Wolfetones music is top class. Very good band.

Few mates of mine are in bands called The Kilkennys and Na Fianna also worth a listen if your into that sort of thing.

Caught both bands 2 weeks ago in Paris Texas, Kilkennny.  Very impressive, particularly the Kilkenny's who were on TV3 early the next morning

[I can't seem to get a good suit anywhere in particular trousers.]

Am i getting older and crankier or is the quality of clothes getting poorer??

Even though I like my labels i'm not that hung up on them but the one thing that I really hate is the fact that I can't seem to get a good suit anywhere in particular trousers.
Anyone any suggestions on good brands or outlets for this?

What if you didn't wear the particular trousers, do you think you would have better luck?  It's worth a try anyway.

Calibre e-book management is a useful bit of software that can convert pdf files to kindle format.

Where's the best place in Ireland to see Christy live?

Anytime you see Christy live is an expererience but I saw him in Bellaghy GAA club, Co.Derry in the 80's and that was maybe the most intense performance I ever saw from him.  About a third of the way into the concert someone in the crowd pissed him off cheering and clapping at the wrong time.  He stopped singing and just glared until there was complete silence in the hall.  He sang slow ballads from then until the end and didn't encourage any sort of participation or requsts from the audience at all.  Off course they were differert times then too.
