excellent rendition.

Cardiff Blues decision to go for a penalty when leading 14-0 was a shocker. They were effectively 3 scores ahead as a draw would have put them ahead of St.F. They surely should of been told by Dai Young to go for it in 2nd half – in reality away to Toulouse ( on this season’s form ) means they are out. But they have done Munster a massive favour by winning.

Can’t remember that Sammy – I’ve always been a fan

Ospreys through and Blues should be OK in second half – need 4 tries to avoid Toulouse away….

and ‘aul Sammy Wislon – “the people of Northern Ireland will be treated worse than foreigners.”

anyone else find this funny?

Yeah its almost as funny as the interview Sammy gave after a loyalist mob attacked a funeral as it was leaving St Matthews Chapel in 2002.

Sammy claimed the crowd attacked the funeral out of frustration because the PSNI had prevented them from entering the Short Strand area for two days.

Why did a crowd of 100 plus Loyalists want to go into the Short Strand.

Why was Sammy talking bollocks trying justify such actions.

Big whup-te-do! So these records of traveler data could be implemented for any UK internal air and sea travel but is only going to be implemented for Northern Ireland-Britain travel? Big whup-te-do! Anywhere else it could be circumvented by just getting in a car. It doesn’t mean anything. And these clandestine talks between the Republic of Ireland and the UK? They mean that the UK and the Republic intend to collect the same information for Republic-Britain flights and sailings as well, and most likely will share it too.

Not the end of the Union. Not the end of the Common Travel Area. Just a bit of post 9/11 paranoia. Our government are going to exploit the geographic reality of living on a pair of islands to track our movements and the movements of the “bad guys.” Big whup-te-do!

Well actually, yes big whup-te-do. It mean that the Republic’s openness and liberalism is yet again being strangled by the UK’s isolationism and paranoia. Seriously, can we not just join Schengen? Then we could collect this kind of data and share it to our hearts’ content AND not turn our backs and cower from the reality of developments on the mainland.

Dewi, I think it was your goodself, in an earlier post that suggested Munster would not win their group? Llaneli now look in real crisis even with good young players coming through but weak up front and defections looking likely.
What says you on the looming Twickers outing?

*I WAS A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN*

Were you really? How awful for you. I was born, bred and buttered in Derry, from a family of nationalists, and we were never second class anything, and anyone who tried to tell us we were second class would probably have lost a few teeth in the process, but here’s the thing, no one ever did.

Who was telling you you were second class and when did you get upgraded or do you still believe yourself to be second class?

*Don’t know about about that Joseph…not really started yet.*

You know Dewi, I used to think like that too, now I’m not so sure. I think the jihadis are one trick ponies. They pulled off an almighty spectacular on 9/11 and we have spent the last seven years waiting for the next shoe to drop but I think that was it, they’ve got nothing left up their sleeves.

Look at all the attacks and failed attacks on the UK; they’re pure amateur hour. Now I realise that amateurs only have to get lucky once, as happened in 7/7 but on the whole the great Islamic Holy War seems largely to consist of jihadi losers wanking themselves into a frenzy on internet chat rooms.

When they eventually do get around to trying something out we get Dr SingeMeBalls of Glasgow or Richard “Damp Matches” Reid. The great sinister conspiracy which we are led to believe is plotting all this from its deep mountain lair seems remarkably incompetent.

I’m with CS on this one, the Provos posed a much larger threat and we didn’t need all this melarkey then, it’s simply another power grab by the control freaks in the government.

*I will continue to do so if it prevents me from being blown up.*

Give me a clue, how will showing your passport to board the Stranraer ferry stop you being blown up?

Unionists might find that,in one sense at least, they aint part of the British nation.

This E-Border issue looks set to run and run……

But I suspect that for Sammy Wilson, in this matter at least, that which he considers as “even worse” than “meaningless” is the horror of the awful contemplation of that greater threat to his sense of things – the application of common sense.

poor old joecanuk the name says it all joeCanuck enough said.

Sorry, I misunderstood. My knee jerks a bit when I hear people saying that we are breaking new ground and that the current concerns are not ones that we’ve had to deal with before. The terrorist threat from the IRA was far more serious than anything the Islamic extremists. Even at that time, the sweeping powers and restrictions over movement were not deemed necessary.

‘Many of my views and feelings were shaped by the protestant state in which i was allowed to live’- no sense

‘allowed to live’…strange choice of words there no sense, im irish i need no permission of anyone to live in this country !

and ‘aul Sammy Wislon – “the people of Northern Ireland will be treated worse than foreigners.”

anyone else find this funny?

Getting an objective rather than a subjective view point oncce and a while can only be a good thing i think.
