It will go OK, once POTUS has turned the place into a golf course.

Derek Acorah, TV medium, died the other day, 69.

A former Glentoran player too apparently.

He didn't see that coming.

She has more important things to think of. Prince Of Greece is in hospital & she needs to find young filly for Andrew, before Wednesday.

Happy Christmas ye filthy animals...

A memorable quote indeed!

Yes....the question being.......why are people like Hamilton / Agnew / Fearon (the so called 'younger generation', who might have been expected to try to turn things around, without any baggage) all leaving local politics, simultaneously?
#51
Did Hamilton not say way too much in front of the RHI Panel & basically he formed the view that he ought to jump, before Arlene arranged for his P45 to be delivered to him?
#52
In that case, has Megan Fearon advanced any credible reason for packing Stormont in, or is it all top secret??

Compare Conor Murphy's performance on GMU this morning with the rambling speedy Gonzales that is Michelle O'Neill. Time to change her.
If only the party had been given a meaningful opportunity to remove her from her leadership role...

If all the Irish you know is "Dia duit,  Sinn Fein", "A Chara" & "GRMA", then feck knows why an ILA is needed in the first place.

I would say that is exactly why an ILA is needed

Tongue in cheek. An ILA would be all fine & dandy. However, it's not in the same league as needing a Fair Employment Act & agency, because Catholics couldn't get a job; having to set up the N Ireland Housing Executive, to remove control of housing from Unionists; ending gerrymandering, which ensured total Unionist control of local government ; dealing with the Unionist government's refusal to fund 100% of building costs for Catholic schools. Those were serious systemic issues, that took years to resolve. The ILA would be a piece of piss, by comparison. No one is stopping Irish medium schools from springing up, as far as I know.

Martin is a millionaire. He wasn't a politician for the money. More for the profile.

Didn't unduly have to give a shite then? Why enter politics - well, apart from ego, as you say?

Any truth in the rumour that Mr. O'Muilleoir is going to throw his toys out of the pram & do a Prince Andrew?

Ah...my prediction a month ago on here was spot on then!!!!

Elaborate. All I can say is he has the creepiest handshake I've ever had. Always to be suspected. Was like a wet fish

Don't need to! I was told a month ago that he had fundamentally disagreed with the decision to stand aside in South Belfast in the general election & that he had decided to go. My source proved correct, after all.
But thought he was moving to the USA as his newspaper group is also up for sale and he seems to spend a lot of time there?

Is he not being paid a salary to be an MLA for South Belfast at Stormont, or does he just go off to North America on Aer Lingus (business class, no doubt) whenever he chooses? Is it any wonder the electorate think they're being taken for a ride by these idiots?

I can remember going to my local primary school & a new school building was going up.  I was being sent to school with a half a crown every Monday. Reason? The Unionist government only funded 90% of the building's costs. The so called Catholic Church was to raise the other 10%. That was inevitably passed on to the parents of the pupils attending at the time, for future generations to benefit. Church contributed feck all, as usual, but claimed all the glory.
