Great craic in stormont. there. Jim "the one seat wonder" even threw a no surrender in. Class

Can't bring myself to follow much of it tbh. Take it we're heading for another election then?

Yep. Jim all-star with a ridiculous speech which has done what it needed to do. The usuals on twitter are all applauding him.

I caught a  bit of his speech and one thing he did say was true.

He said  that any covid/cost of living  payments  that were made (or going to be made) come from Westminster.  And even if Stormont was up  and running  these payments would still come from Westminster.

So , in reality, what jim  was saying is there is no need/use for Stormont.  Honestly  , what is the point of Stormont? There is none

Laws such as  abortion/gay marriage were passed by Westminster.  What have Stormont actually done of note? I'm struggling to  come up with anything

I have a couple of hotmail accounts that I usually only access through the  iPhone

I have got a few messages last  week or two  referring to unusual sign-in activity.

I changed passwords  a week or so ago but  got some more similar messages

I've no idea if these  are genuine or not  or a scam.

Any advice?

Josimar?

Does the third  place playoff count as well?

France are very keen on the striking though - they're probably not a good reference point for anyone but agreed there should be more striking. I honestly thought there may be civil unrest by now but I think these things may take a while to kick in and it could well happen yet. (That's UK or Ireland).

I was just looking and inflation in turkey is 122%

Ordinary working people will be  in early graves due to  stress, depression, suicide, starvation, malnutrition , Or  hypothermia .  Millions of People  working their nuts off and  still  not able to even  afford the basics.   The elites  rig the game  so that only they benefit, no one else

It's genocide  . There's no other word for it

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Bit exaggerated?

Maybe a  bit slower than  genghis khan  did but it's the same end  result

I'd there anything  to be said for another mass a  type of final score/soccer Saturday  type show for Rte on League Sunday's in particular?

I absolutely refuse to  have anything to do with  Walkers. Wouldn't have them  near the house

It's Tayto every time

Any Irish person who eats  walkers over tayto  needs to have a word with hisself

Here,  I  dislike Tyrone as  much as the next man ,  but I just used them as an  example as they did go all the  way last year , and would have similar ambitions next year .

Not only that , but if they  did decide not to go all out in Ulster,  and therefore weren't  best seeded in the group stages , still on their day , they'd be capable of putting it up  to anyone   .

So , early Ulster exit , meaning one less home match in group stage ....... or  a knackered Ulster winning team , with injuries and suspensions . Which would be more beneficial to a team  capable of going all the way?

Will those 3 or 4 teams with genuine designs on Sam take the Provincials very seriously?
I know winning them gives you perks (1st seed, 1st game at home) but 3 or 4 weeks without intense knock out games v neighbours might leave them in better shape for the AI series.
Thoughts?

Yes that would be  my thinking on it.  Put your feet up , forget about provincial, go in fresh to the group stage .  No suspensions, fresh legs etc.

Why would any team with All Ireland aspirations  go hell for  leather trying to win a meaningless provincial title?

I don't agree. winning Ulster gave Derry a massive lift last year. Most teams won't win the all Ireland. The provincial titles will always be silverware. Armagh came up against their ceiling at the quarter final stage. Next year a Geezer anglo Celt win would mean a lot.

I get what you are saying  but in Ulster there are a number of teams that are capable of beating each other: Armagh Tyrone Derry Donegal Monaghan Cavan .

I think 4 of those are in division 1 next year .. so let's say someone like Tyrone could possibly need to beat Derry Monaghan Armagh and Donegal to win Ulster.  If they've already been  well placed in Div 1  and already qualified for this group stage , why would they even bother trying to win Ulster? 4 tough games v 4 rivals. Risking injury suspensions and  being knackered  for the really important  matches later on . Why bother?

You can butter it up as much as you want but the Unionist won't vote for a UI, its like turkeys voting for Christmas, or a Northern Nationalist voting to stay in the UK 

This is it though, the bit Unionism hasn't come to terms with, to achieve a majority of 50+1 you don't need a Unionist to vote for it as per the last census figures and the trends within it are suggesting it's only going the one way unless Jamie Bryson and the UVF start a shagathon within the loyal orders..
