If Kingspan go bust, anyone for Mcrugby? Moy Park Stadium? Ulster Carpets Ulster Rugby? The Harry Corry Stadium - think of the kit.

Thank fladuk the dial hold SF to account. They talk tom kite both sides of the border. But down south the TDs and media highlight the tom kite.

Strangely self proclaimed atheists here treat SF as the new gospel.

Presumably Kingspan insurers could claim they they were also "misinformed" about the products fire certification post 2 007, and any liability will fall directly on the company?

Been a while since we've had anything in this thread.

Edwin Poots - born to bore. DUP taking the UUP road to nowhere?

I'm posting this with the expectation that Poots's election won't even come close to being interesting enough for anyone to respond to. :roll:

Fourth item on the 6 o'clock national news. If Unionists needed any evidence how important NI is to their English masters, there you have it.

I f wee Nicola was replaced, would it be 4th on the national news?

Channel 4 reported it as "man who believes the earth is 6000 years old" becomes leader of NI biggest party.

Nicely juxtaposed with the item about the 4.5 billion year old meteorite going on display in the Natural History Museum :lol:

I've seen him quoted as saying it's 4000 years old.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

That quote was 2000 years ago.

Unionism is in a bit of a low point currently, to me Donaldson is probably slightly more moderate so would have preferred him. Hopefully the UUP start to get their act together.

He's quite conservative, even by Creationist standards.

Some wishy washy liberals think it's nearly 10,000 years old. :lol:

The only personal achievement Steve Aitken could think of was giving Robin Swann the Health Sec job. :lol:

Unionism is in a mess. The inbuilt majority is long gone and Poots could deliver a Shinner First Minister next year. His only saving grace might be that they aren't looking too clever either at the minute.

I'm glad Jeffrey didn't get it. He's a skilled debater who presents himself very well to the Engerlish despite having many of the same narrow minded regressive views as the rest of his party. At least Poots is a truer representation of what the DUP really is. I hear Mervyn Storey may be up for First Minister. Holy f*ck! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
