Things you don't see in middle class northern areas:

Flags on lampposts or from houses on July 12

Parades

Sinn Fein/DUP offices

Bonfires

Segregated housing.

Feel free to add to the list

even if your county team are in the Ulster final?

UTV headline - "Late finish for Haas crunch talks"

Now there's a shocker, now all we need is reports of fast food getting delivered in to them.

They are some shower.

There'll be no shopping done in some households.

Overtime for Haas and co after Christmas.

The only winners so far is The Stormont Hotel.Given that the Good Friday Agreement was concluded in Stormont itself ( a few hundred yards away and big enough to hold rock concerts) why did they have to go to a hotel?

armaghniac

Perhaps the grub was better in the hotel? If it hadn't been as good they might have settled to get out.

Like the song, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

NI21 are not at these talks, but I suppose if you don't have a cut-off somewhere the TUV would have to be thee too and that wouldn't help.

What would the collective term be for a crowd of handsomely paid bluffers?

Flags, marching and emblems.

Lovely part of the world here.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

It is disappointing that this crap is still going on into 2014, 16 years after the GFA. The Patten report required that PSNI stations fly only their own flag and this was helpful in ensuring that they were seen to serve all of the community. This policy should have been adopted by all public buildings. Yet with this clear example before them they have these endless talks going around and around.

Has Haas hastened his hiatus to a has-been?

The DUP's attitude over flags is about one thing and one thing only - winning back East Belfast.  Their stance to accept designated days everywhere else if the butcher's apron is put back up 365 days a year at Belfast City Hall, despite the democratic decision to go to designated days (that's 'democratic', as in Democratic Unionist Party), had it been accepted, would have been presented to the loyalist scummery of East Belfast as "we got you the fleg back up at City Hall" and Naomi would then be toast
