I asked it if Tyrone was deadly and it said it wasn't.

There you go then. It's foolproof.

In my own personal experience, on the few occasions that I have felt the need to contact my local SF "representatives" I have been largely ignored. Subsequent to a follow up prompt from me I received a terse 2 line reply. Thought I might contact my local DUP rep with the same query, what a difference. A courteous response within 7 days promising to look into my questions and 2 further letters to keep me updated on progress.
SF are happy enough to show up for a smiley, back slapping photo opportunity but don't be asking them any "awkward" questions.

I've had exactly the opposite experience. Have had the SDLP at my door promising the moon and the stars and delivering nothing, but when I've spoken to SF on a few different matters, it has been sorted relatively quickly.

Probably comes down to the individual politician and their team tbh. Danny Kennedy locally (UUP) was always known to be very helpful to anyone no matter their side.

Exactly.

Gordon Lyon's trying to sell Belfast hosting the Euro 2028 draw as a win after the city losing out on hosting actual matches, embarrassed for him 

Shambles. They continue to be a complete embarrassment to themselves and their voters.

Here's what you could've won!

Is it safe to  put expanding spray foam   around electrical wires?

The electric wire coming into the garage  from outside is fed through  a tubing . Noticed  water coming  through the tubing when it rains,   and  coming inside . Needs sealing.  Would the expanding foam  be safe  enough to use?

Wasting your time (and money) thinking expanding form will stop water.

Too early?......

Bit of advice have a 8 year old that's hung up on a drone. There is not a chance in hell I'm waxing 400-500 on a decent drone for him to wrap around a tree on Boxing Day.
Anyone have any recommendations for a cheaper toy like drone? Doesn't need to have big range/ camera or anything like that. Preferably easy controlled.

Check out some of these:

Decent starter drone and more for use on a calm day (wherever you get one of those) or indoors to get the hang of it. 

So Liverpool had the league won in September, Arsenal had it won in October and now City have it won in November. Experts eh!

[There would be a good chunk of that brigade who'd happily hand the North back over if you told them how much we're costing them.]

You're completely delusional. Flogging off parts of the UK and giving the Scottish independence movement which is reeling a massive shot in the arm by arranging an NI border poll would do wonders for the Labour party's reputation with the Little Englander voters they are currently  There would be a good chunk of that brigade who'd happily hand the North back over if you told them how much we're costing them.

Maybe it is time a message was plastered across a bus and it was driven around England to remind them.

Take Musk as an example. Just agreed an extraordinary $1tn pay deal. That's obscene in anyone's eyes, regardless of your leaning. And much of this is based on targets around increasing Tesla's automation activities, so taking jobs from people. Instead of circulating the wealth through the population, it's concentrating it on a scale never seen before in the hands of one.

Off course there are people taking the piss and there always will be. But it isn't near on the same scale as those at the other end. Multi nationals paying feck all tax, those at the top ripping the piss out of it lining their own pockets, water companies literally pissing and shitting all over us. The list goes on.

Why not be equally of not more so outraged by these things? Proves my earlier point about distraction.

Speaking of whom.....

No-one has ever really given a satisfactory explanation as to why Cameron elevated her to the Lords, in the first place; nor has anyone offered any insight into why she still remains a member.

Exactly. But blame the migrants, those on benefits. Classic distraction. If the avergae person tries not paying any taxes owed to either revenue service and see how that goes.

Am sure it has been posted many times before but am posting it again. Whatever about the fella this is nail on the head:

We've all been turned on each other while a select few at the top get more wealthy of the back of this. It's happening on both sides of the Irish Sea. Your woman Mone being a prime example of late, who along with her husband should have been locked up a long time ago.

Maybe the wrong thread but hey ho.
If i had planning passed in the north for a glamping pod and i decided to add another meter in length onto the unit when i build the thing, how likely is it that building control/council etc will kick up or come after me.
may sound like a naive question but just wondering. anyone any nightmare stories with this stuff.

Say nafin.

Many a one built a house or garage and pulled it out a few meters here and there. Just don't take the piss and make it twice as big.
