Mr & Mrs Robinson

[Maguire01]

Ziggy, Seany may have known the story was about to break but he doesn't know whether or not it's actually true. I don't see the point of stories like this other than for crass titillation (a la the Sunday World). The McCambley family has been shamed already, the Viris humiliated and the Punt is toast. Why use a dead man to inflict further damage?

Hmmm very noble of you.  I just wonder if Ms Breen had not been recently picking on Grizzly would you feel that way?

As for her sources for this particularly story, she has just stated on RTE Radio that she is using a number of ex-peelers who were guarding the Robinsons.   

/Jim.

Bit of a headache here Jim, so not sure of the point you're trying to make. If you're referring to Adams, of course this should all be brought to light.

If not, what you talking about?

Ziggy, I think Jim is just saying that Ulick only has a problem with Suzanne Breen because of her coverage of the Adams story.

Ah, I wondered. Thanks for clearing that up

[Yes I Would]

Looking forward to hearing Willie Frazers take on all of this!!  Hope he doesnt have us waiting too long!

How do you figure that?

The Tribune was sold out this morning when I went for it (a unique occurrence for a southern paper in the 5 years I've been going there) so maybe you could fill me in. I'm particularly interested in:

Who told Breen the Virus was riding Billy the Butcher?
Who told her she was riding the other DUP member?
Does she name the other DUP member?
If not, why does she name Billy the Butcher and not the DUP member?

[gallsman]

The Tribune is one step away from the Sunday World IMO. The lads father is dead, so can't defend himself and I'd lay money neither the DUP member or the source is named. Sounds like a Suzanne Breen exclusive fiction.

The Tribune has gone downhill over the last year and a half or so but it's still the best Sunday paper in the country.

I agree, I've been getting it for 10 or 15 years but in that time standards have slipped quite badly.

Rumours that The Lockkeeper's Inn is to be renamed The Iris Robinson Leisure Centre have been denied.

Then wonder no more Jim

Apologies on a postcard if you are saying what Maguire says you are saying.

Unnamed ex-peelers? Who would have thought it, eh?

Stephen Nolan will be disappointed 

[orangeman]

These ex peelers must have spent the rdundancy money !

[Square Ball]

a butcher and a butchers son, yes two of them, allegedly 

good call me

What does OWC represent?  I've seen it in numerous threads over a long period of time, just curious?

'our wee country' ... unionist nickname for the tupenny hapenny failed statelet we find ourselves in

Nice try, rh (not) 

It's actually the name of a website for fans of the NI football team ( www.ourweecountry.co.uk ).

The name comes from an incident where our manager, Bryan Hamilton, was being interviewed pitchside after we had drawn 1-1 away to Germany (European Champions at the time). As Hamilton answered the Reporters' questions, centre half Barry Hunter, who was passing by in the background, was heard to say: "What about our wee country?", it stuck and the name was chosen for the website.

You can just hear it on this UTV clip (4 mins 56 secs in) - I think it came over more clearly on another clip, but I can't find it:

Great story. Imagine if he had said "Me arse is killing me"?

f**king brilliant

I swear I heard him say 'black c***ts' and I dont think I'm the only one....

off topic but i only heard of owc  about 3 years ago when i started posting here and thought it was a derogatory term for the ni football team but no its actually a term of affection. . go figure, its like wearing a t shirt saying 'i have a small d..k' imo

Gerry Kelly was on Radio Ulster a short while ago. He was saying there's more to come out tomorrow night on Panorama.

[Archie Mitchell]

So, according to one of the papers today, Kirk has a thing for older women. Tried it on with his ex girlfriends mum, sent her pics of himself, got a £2,000 loan from her claiming his father was homeless and an alcoholic. Also was trying to sneak about with her 16 year old sister as well.

[ziggysego]

A mainstream unionist view?

The greatest fear evolving is that if an election is called the DUP will split to leave SF as the largest party and with first minister.

I wonder how the Unionist would feel that the Iris Robinson story is under "World News - Ireland" on the Times website...
