Round Larne likely

There'll be hell to pay if that  big crown  on the roundabout isn't within the new boundary

51 won't work. The Brits won't go lower than 2/3. The occupied territories are complicated enough without a half arsed reunification.

What are you trying to say?

51% wont work, as in after such a vote it will be unmanageable

or

The brits wont allow 51% to pass a referendum.

Tory party chair Oliver Dowden has said the Government will honour the constitutional obligation to hold a border poll on the future of Northern Ireland if "there is a sustained majority" in favour of unification.

How will they  know there is "a sustained majority "  unless they actually have a border  poll ?

They need division  in order to  exist .  Constantly Finding something  to complain about to peddle  their bigoted, divisive narrative and rile up  their  Neanderthal voters  who'll vote them in again, so the cycle   continue s

For those of a certain age, Mrs McClusky from Grange Hill.  A steady pair of hands back in the day.

Didn't really watch Grange  hill but I know her from playing Greg Davies' mother in  Man Down (Rik Mayall played his dad)

But there was an excuse  there, as it was an animation.

God it's mad ,all that  centuries old nonsense

The Queen's reign saw 15 Prime Ministers, 7 Popes, 14 US Presidents and 22 Kerry All-Irelands, but no Mayo All-Ireland.
Maybe she's the curse!


£50 on Mayo for Sam  in 2023 it is then    ;D

I don't get it at all.

1. Don't get the fawning of the public over her... she literally did nothing

2. The fact people despise her in Ireland... she didn't do anything why do we hold the deeds of her ancestors against her.

I understand before when monarch's ruled but a monarch who doesn't rule deserves as much adulation or hatred as a statue!!

Watched about 5 mins of the BBC there Jesus christ 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Totally agree. Have a minute's silence at the soccer at the weekend ffs, there's no need to be calling every single match off. Ridiculous to have every single uk channel devoted to cringeworthy tributes. How long will this go on for? I've nothing against the woman but life shouldn't have to stop in this way.

Yep they cancelled   House of Games earlier ffs  ;D

Whatever you think of  the royals, she did set  good example in Ireland , with her visit and her speech in Irish, meeting Martin McGuinness  etc. They might not seem like a lot  but these are important landmarks in the great scheme of things .   She did things that bigoted unionist leaders  would never have the courage or decency to do

So let's say   electric rate is 30p a unit, and you change provider and get it for 20p.

If that new provider then raises it by 5p a unit, what do you now pay? The originally  agreed 20p, or the original 20p + the 5p?

Also, if I switch providers and get X discount for say 12 months, can I keep switching every 12 months  to keep getting the lower/discount rate?

It isn't hard, maybe you have to submit a meter reading. Yes, at the end of the period change or get your provider to match the best deal.

Thanks . Must get onto it

Just caught up with the late late  show there , and the discussion on energy prices and all that

It's something I meant to look into before but  never got around to.

So, is it simple enough to switch electricity providers?  Seems daft to be paying more than I should be , especially at this moment in time..

Also, if I switch providers and get X discount for say 12 months, can I keep switching every 12 months  to keep getting the lower/discount rate?

Sadly this looks like it's going to be a bleak winter for a lot of folk.

Maybe there is  something in this "great reset " thing after all

The great reset of   prices of fuel, food , etc.... while  wages remain the same and  workers have less and less rights

Price in Armagh is £798 for 1000L (€944 at Google conversion rate). I'd say its going back up as Autumn approaches, been on to the wife to strike now.

$ to € conversion rate not helping down south.
1000L back up to £970 today in Armagh. Luckily I struck  at the above rate.

There'll be a revolution before Spring.

There'll be  no revolution . People are too busy watching  Love Island and  Netflix
