Was that not the electoral officer? Welcome to the Jungle would have been more appropriate. Seems like a complete farce in Omagh all day.
It was. I'm fairly certain it was "Sweet Child of Mine".

Was it just me or did I hear the following ringtones when these people were speaking?

Gerry Kelly - Jailbreak
Peter Robinson - Mrs Robinson
Martin McGuinness - Just the 2 of us (only when Peter rings)
Margaret Richie - Nowhere (Therapy)
Tom Elliott - Down Down (Status Quo)
Sammy Wilson - Naked in the rain (RHCP)

The count farce continues with only 57 of 144 counters turning up today in Omagh. That's why there is no investment west of the Bann. They're all lazy f**kers

No change in West Belfast. Attwood vote up, so he's safe.
Only fair that the Shankill have a rep.

Marty McGuinness does that very well !

McElduff to Noel Thompson - "Keep 'er lit!"

Latest on Twitter feed is that Alliance transfers will ensure 2 UUP and 1 SDLP in Upper Bann and SF to miss out on second seat.

Apologies, the last time i checked http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/election2011/constituency/html/36724.stm they had McGibbon elected.

Interesting that SF take more than twice the votes of SDLP in this and end up with the same number of seats.

They didn't manage the split as well as they could have and they're still not terribly transfer friendly.

The rest got caught by the brew (sic) last night.

UUP's John McCallister is one dour sounding fecker!

He always sounds half-cut, but he seems a decent enough sort.

Noel Thompson continuing from last night and hammering into Jim Allister.

"Your view is only endorsed by a tiny minority"

"Nevertheless, I will ensure they have a voice that will be heard"

"Yes, a very small voice"

Brilliant.

Met him once and he seemed quite a nice guy! Seems to be well liked in South Down from all sides of the community too.

Actually I take this back. Having heard Jonathan Craig for the first time, he's the dour fecker. McCallister was positively lively in comparison.

Alex Maskey SF, Conall McDevitt SDLP and Jimmy Spratt DUP all elected S/Belfast under quota.

Tom Elliott at the count - "flags of a foreign land" and "Sinn Fein scum"

tyroneboi · May 07, 2011, 05:19:33 PM

Poor Tom has lost the plot!!

Maguire01 · May 07, 2011, 05:34:07 PM

He really doesn't have a clue!
