No Ziggy, west Belfast, born and bred.

[not that it matters)]

I presume Paul Clark is of of the other religious persuasion. There was something very stiff about his interaction with Logan from the studio.

  Totally wrong and not relevent, he is a Catholic (not that it matters) and was educated in St. Mary's Christian Brothers' school west Belfast....

Such a beautiful girl, a true Gael in every sense of the word, my wife and I were in tears watching Micky and his 2 sons giving their statement on the senseless and untimely death of Michaela.  A measure of the man was when he said "this is our cross to bear" just a terrible tragedy. A Bed amongst the Saints to her. Leaba i measc na naomh go raibh aici.

I use the Boost system with Belfast city council, £31 per month but i can use as often as i want,i can use any of the council leisure centres,i get free spin class and swim and sauna as often as i want,i had a look at the Pure gym but it is basic,no pool,no sauna or steam room...i like the perks and dont mind paying a wee bit extra

[You of course have evidence that these people are told to wear poppies?]

Lads, I work in the BBC, on the 11th there was a 2 minute silence in the office, I simply logged myself out of the computer and went to the toilet for 2 minutes, there was about 4 people in my office out of 20 or so wearing a poppy...on Easter I wear my Lilly for the whole week of Easter, I had only one complaint about that last year, i refused to remove it due to the poppy issue and no more was said, I have no problem with the ordinary working class unionist or Stoops (as they know no better) people wearing a poppy, I do get annoyed tho when I see the likes of Colin Farrell, Frank Mitchell (big Down GAA man, yeah rite) and the other so-called Irish celebrities who wear the poppy just because they are told to.

You of course have evidence that these people are told to wear poppies? Colin Farrell isn't an employee of the BBC so I doubt if they would have cancelled his appearance on The Graham Norton show if he said he wasn't wearing a poppy. Try again.

You think it's a coincidence they're all wearing one?

There is a huge difference between being asked to wear one and being told/forced to wear one. I have no doubt they were asked to wear one. I can't imagine they would have been sanctioned if they refused the offer.

Sorry Tony when I said told to wear one I should have said asked, same thing really...they could have said no regardless...thats what annoys me about it

McNamee point...1-11 2-7

McEntee enters the play

You will never get one now unless a peeler donates it to you..Gaelic Gear no longer trade..poor wind up btw tho good to see that there are good Gaels still trying to help!

I dont watch the programme but the wife has told me that Malachi Cush was not wearing one on UTV but his partner was...good man Malachi..
