Not very far wrong. It was the diet of potatoes,and buttermilk ,and livinglin iving in rural surroundings which gave them the strong bones ,which allowed them to dramatically outperform English town dwelling natives, who suffered from rickets from inadaquete vitimin D. .. An Irish Navvy could...

Sorry, Woosh, as I see it there will be no transition period as that implies a deal. There will be , no deal, No DEAL, ,unless the UK comes up with satisfactory legal guarantees to give substance to the undertakings they, unde the name of your Prime Minister, gave on two separate occasions...

Well if they were that interested, they should build their tunnel from Antrim to Scotland ,and dump the spoil along the Black Pigs Dyke, .. a prehistoric moat which guarded the Ulstermen from the ire of the other four provinces of Ireland.. Historically there were five provinces ,of which...

Tommie,Tommie, Tommie, can you not see we are in this together?. Without your milk getting pasteurised and graded down here, it will be rancid, without the ready access to UK supermarkets, our mushroom farms, have nowhere to sell their products,and there is a limit to the amount of Vol aux...

Least there be any confusion regarding the NI backstop, and there was some created in the last few days... The EU will not be agreeing to any Backstop arrangement which is time limited or which can be unilaterally terminated by either side. There will be no deal, no soft BREXIt, unless the...

The Bosch type use the extra connections as part of a safety interlock,and to provide a communications link between the battery, the visual display and the motor assembly.

The legality or otherwise of the referendum is irrelevant. Based on your UK model,where parliament is supreme, the MPs voting in Westminster was the legal bit. It makes no difference where these MPs took their advice from, ..the guys in the pub at the Rovers Return or a slightly bigger gathering.

Awful is a better state than dire. There are no good outcomes, except a total change of heart ,between now and March, and common sense suggests that that is not going to happen. The third option ,again religious in nature is that UK enters a Limbo ,by getting an extension.

It is a short term remedy ,or palliative care, but remember in the long term we are all dead

Sorry Kudos, staying in the Customs Union is anything but useless. It is a far cry worse than cancelling BREXIt, but a far far better option than crashing out . For those of a traditional religious view, it could be viewed as purgatory, not hell. If I remember my teaching .. Purgatory is...

Pity that the HoC has shown itself to be supine, so far, in response to those who have failed to appear, or have been less that scrupulously honest. Without making too much of it , politicans in these committees are not great. They do not have the expertise or experience to effectively...

If the UK as a whole remains in the Customs Union,there is no problem and no need for customs checks between any member states and the UK. EU inspectors and UK inspector at either factories, and the main ports can do the business. If the NI backstop functions only, the customs checks are at...

It is astonishing how confident some people are over decisions which are NOT in their gift to make. I have made the same point multiple times, once the letter on Article 50 was lodged, UK left the driving seat, and now must be reliant on the charity of strangers

Tommie, here is a question you might be able to answer. I noticed a number of placards issued by SF on the Malone Rd, saying .. hard brexit brought to you by DUP, UUP and others including People before Profit. .. my question is why the last named party?

It will take a lot of bricks to build that wall ,i think the irish sea is about 100 ft deep,so the amount of deadwork even before they hit the surface will make the london underground seem like childsplay.

Northern Ireland is a major producer of Irish bricks ,so you need not be deprived. In fact the core of my house is built from Tyrone brick.

There is a thread relating to recumbent bike and farings on those. ,My opinion is that they would be just dangerous on a high bike. The wind is not always cooperative and a side wind gust would whip someone sideways.. . No there is nothing for it but to cycle in the nude, it is the parkas which...

Hi. With winter coming in the two things are reduced temperature, which means the rider wearing a heavier coat or parka,and increased wind speeds. Both of these play havoc with milage . The power requirement due to wind increases as the cube of the relative speed of the bike against the...

. You forgot to mention my scintillating wit, debonair manner, and how gladly I suffer fools.

I hesitate ro use the overrated word Racist, but it does seem suitable in this context.
