Who is more acceptable to the republican/nationalist elecorate.

Ian Paisley Junior who comes from the most extreme unionist political family.
or
Arlene Foster, former Ulster Unionist who has to establish her anti irish credentials to the dup electorate on a daily basis.

In the latest list of most generous countries, Ireland is placed 9th. Should we be happy that we have made the top 10, or rue the fact that we are behind our neighbours in the UK?

THE Duke of Edinburgh is expected to wake up in hospital on Christmas morning, where he is recuperating following treatment for a blocked coronary artery.
Philip, 90, was said to be in "good spirits" today as he was visited by members of the royal family, including the Queen and the Prince of Wales.
The Earl of Wessex, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Duchess of Cornwall also visited the Duke's bedside at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge.
Earlier Buckingham Palace said Philip had a "good night" following the coronary stent procedure yesterday evening and was "eager to leave".
He is expected to remain under observation for a short period but no further details have been given about when he will be discharged.
The Queen was flown to Papworth this morning from Sandringham, her private Norfolk estate, where the royal family is spending Christmas.
The royal helicopter touched down near the hospital and the visitors were driven in a convoy of two Range Rovers and a third car.
The royal party returned to the helicopter after the 45-minute visit and was flown away shortly before midday, although the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall travelled separately.
It is thought to be the first time the Duke will miss the Christmas morning service at Sandringham, which has become an annual tradition for the royal family since the early 1990s.
Prior to this they often spent Christmas at Windsor Castle, but this was brought to an end following the fire in November 1992.
Buckingham Palace has said the service will go ahead as planned and no changes to the royal family's celebrations tomorrow are expected.
Philip was taken to the specialist heart hospital last night after complaining of chest pains, and, following tests, a blocked artery was discovered by doctors.
He underwent an "invasive procedure of coronary stenting", which was declared a success.
Papworth describes itself as the UK's largest specialist cardiothoracic hospital and the country's main heart and lung transplant centre and carries out 2,500 stent procedures a year.

maybe he has already popped his clogs and they don't want to spoil his wifes speech.

Can anyone on here advise me about where to park when going to the O2. I have just booked tickets for a show next year & Ticketmaster are selling tickets for parking, but it doesn't seem to be the park beside the O2. Can you still park beside the O2 on a first come basis?

I haven't been to the cinema for a few months. I put the blame on the financial crisis and a severe shortage of inspiring plots. In the past a superior leading man/woman may have enticed me to go and see their latest movie.

Are there no longer any movie stars who can persuade us to part with our hard earned cash to see their efforts, regardless of the film?

You can't help but notice that a lot of the threads in this section attract negative comments.

Therefore I propose that we establish some threads that abhor negative comments and only accept positive comments & feelings for the next few weeks.

I suggest the titlle for these threads should be:

"Algeria", "Slovenia" and "USA"

We may need to change the subject of these threads as time passes.
