All lives matter, there's no hierarchy on people being blown away, this fuels more shite from the genocidal manic to keep going and justify to not only his own people but the rest of the world looking on...

Murder doesn't stop murder, it just continues to divide people and make more people go out and do horrendous acts like we have seen in Gaza and Palestine for decades..

Ireland has been divided for over 100 years and before that ruled for centuries before semi independence, none of the murders in the end mattered or brought proper peace to the place, its as divided now than it ever was. We might not be waking up hearing about the latest gun/bomb attack but we aint any further on..

God knows how long it will take (if ever) to find a solution in the middle east, if anyone thinks this (bondi) will speed up the process is bonkers

An eye for an eye will make everyone blind

Cut his 8 year old daughter's throat in front of the mother.

Animal. Complete and utter waste of oxygen.

A lotto in the  US with a jackpot of 1.5 BILLION dollars.  But as  I write this, is the spainish lotto not as large?

Not that you'd be too bothered but I think thats the yearly/monthly payment option, if you take the lump sum it's a good bit less and you lose a lump on taxes.

In theory the "Lotería de Navidad" (El Gordo more likely what you'll have heard it called) can reach a maximum prize pot of between 2.5 and 3 billion but not every ticket gets sold, so it doesn't get that high.

Tickets are numbered 000000 to 100,000, but are printed in multiple "series". Can be up to about 200 of them, so ticket number 100,000 will exist up to 200 times The first prize last year was about 770m so if number 100,000 comes out, that 770m split across the 200 series, so each ticket would win 3.9m odd. A ticket is 200e though, so they're usually further divided up into ten and sold. So if you pay 20e for a ticket and your number comes out, you'll win 390k.

Not to be sniffed at, but not quite 1.5bn.

Is it Newtownabbey and Lisburn?

[Armagh18]

Newry, Armagh

Lisburn is one too isn't it? Bangor not too long a city I think.

[gallsman]

Newry, Armagh and Lisburn were the available answers. Armagh historically a city because of the cathedral and the diocese but tbh, I'd not overly criticise anyone for not knowing either Newry or Lisburn. Lisburn was only awarded city status in the last 10 or so years I think. Funny listening to Amol Rajan pronounce it "Banger".

23 years ago Lisburn became a city. Before it even had a hotel.

I'm surprised it has one  now. Who the hell would stay  there?

The British government are again going to let hunger strikers die in prison and theres barely a word about it in the media.
