Yes that is so. Did not Shakespeare get it right.. Oh what tangled web we weave then first we practice to decieve. On a linked matter, and showing how different NI is from say Oxford, i was passing the PSNI police station on the Lisburn road south Belfast today.. For those of you who don't...

To every complex problem, there is a simple solution.. however it is usually incorrect.

From what I have read, the Republican Party is very clever at targeting and winning marginal seats,and has succeeded in gaining more seats than their voting strength would justify. If that is added to a little bit of gerrymandering,and locking up potential democratic voters, on remand, the...

I would disagree with your simple reason. Pres.. Trump is so bad,that normal logical reasoning fails to work. The big news would have been the sacking of an Attorney General ,yet it was not part of the press conference. Anybody who oppose him on policy grounds,cannot logically reason with him...

What to my mind is shocking stuff here,is how or why an engineering consultancy would sign off on such a contract. There is an ethical dimension here. The Consulting firm, would be bound by the code of conduct of the professional engineering bodies,which as a matter of course,should have...

Tommie, I remain puzzled, is that I used the word Christian in the same sentence as DUP, or does it relate to the quotation , which was taken directly from your prior posting... Which of these sections was offensive?.

Can You not envisage the extra expense of removing the diagonal red cross from the Union Jack?...the so called Saltire of St. Patrick, all those tea towels and bunting which would have to be recalled, as unfit for purpose. Not to mention that a particular political party might have to give...

SF attract the protest vote, aabd in the recent election because there was someone who was prepared to make even more outrageous comments, he got it instead. Unfortunately or fortunately ..there are as number of very able younger politicians in the SF party,and they can speak. However they are...

The SF party machine know to give my house a miss.. Neither I nor to the best of my knowledge has any member of my house have ever given SF other than our lowest preference .

"Hardly surprising when you let in the dregs of europe, a shower of useless good for nuthin malingerers, gainful employment is foreign to them, they breed like rabbits and scrounge for a living, scamming the honest tax payer for every benefit possible." Hi come on now Tommie, that is not a...

Do you not appreciate that it is now gone down to the wire. ?. It is for the UK side to propose acceptable wording and legal guarantees. When the dust settles RoI will still be inside the EU, so don't underestimate the importance the EU will attribute to continuity.
