Hearing the Other Voice from the Grave: Why Should we Listen to David Ervine’s Stories?
Ed Moloney’s Voices from the Grave: Two Men’s War in Ireland has received considerable attention in the press and in the public realm since its publication earlier this year. Although the book relates the experiences of the Provisional IRA’s Brendan Hughes and the PUP/UVF’s David Ervine, much of the discussion has focused on Hughes’ stories [...] read our review » -
Is Fianna Fail the new Woolworths of Irish politics?
It’s not published until 3rd March, but one book I recommend you place an advance order for from Slugger’s Bookstore is James Harkin’s Niche. Belfast émigré Harkin examines a number of stories from business, culture and politics and comes to a single insight: everywhere the broad middle is collapsing. He offers Woolworths as an iconic exemplar [...] read our review »

The debate was framed in an opening vignette by presenter William Crawley in uncompromising terms, [...] read our review »

Haaaa Haaaa What a Cracker Belfasts got talent
relatively unfunny except for the munching sausages line. quite an irritating singing voice as well.
You are having fun, Mick!
And here I thought you were going to be fair and balanced.
Fast off the mark, but it made me chuckle anyway.
Hahahaha ! Fantastic.
excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just unbuttoning a bit pinni… it’s been a hell of a week…
Mick’s fun for the weekend, it must be easier than staying fair and balanced with such a ridiculous story. It provided me with a good laugh to break my revision. Cheers
A very moderate and somewhat tame effort I’d have thought . The lyrics could have been made much more explicit . Alas I came late to this story and so I’ll refrain from adding more rude doggerel to the mountaining pile . The noughties may have ended or should that be the ‘naughties ‘ But the teen decade has certainly opened with a bang at least in NI
I’ll give it a 7 out of 10 for relevant content
The jokes are flying around. Of course I don’t get some of them. What’s an MLAIF?
Anyone up to a remix, putting video clips to the song?

Now that had me genuinely laughing out loud, all the more because I don’t know if you’re serious or not.
Didn’t realise that the lad is a catholic. I thought that wasn’t allowed?
The Shankill Moaner, special edition:

Tasteless and juvenile. I loved it.
Dewi it seems to be allowed if your only riding a catholic and not marrying one,or going to their first communion,confirmation,wedding or funeral mass.
Low blows are the only blows.
Dewi and cut the bull
Surely the fact the lad was a Catholic shows that even ultra prods like the Robinson´s can see beyond tribes. Perhaps you guys could do the same.
Was he a Catholic??
I still can’t believe that I’m not dreaming all this. It’s like the best trip ever.
The Telegraph reported that he was a Catholic, and Wikipedia followed this. I note that Wikipedia has now removed this groundless slur.
I cannot believe that someone called Kirk, whose father was called Billy and ran a Butcher’s shop in East Belfast patronised by Ars Robinson, who was befriended by the same, could be anything other than a decent Protestant.
Say what you like about Ars, she still has some standards.
Btw thanks for the file Dewi.

Wiki still says catholic. I do accept Dr Who’s rebuke but it is, in the realpolitic of PRs survival, important.
The whole thing is [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUBU]GUBU[/url]
Wiki is rapidly evolving and now no longer asserts that Kirk, son of Billy, is Catholic, which strikes me as a more improbable event than a Hedd, son of Maredudd being a Tory of English upbringing.
Ars’s loyalty to the Elim creed is unchalleged, whatever evil tongue-waggers may say. She did not countenance with her presence the unrepentant terrorist Catholic faith.
Police in East Belfast are looking for a young businessman who caused a disturbance last night walking along the middle of the road singing ‘it was old but it was beautiful…’
chewnic
Brilliant.
Wonder if he also included the lyrics “the sheath my father wore”
She was old but she was beautiful
And her fellacio was fine
She sucked and munched my lincolnshires
While I fucked her from behind
My father fucked her in his youth…
In more precautionary times
And its on my cock I love to wear
The sheath my father wore.
Catholic – that would be just too much!
I don’t suppose Doctor Who is a Catholic either otherwise a grounding in Latin might have permitted him to spell fellatio correctly.
I was thinking that given that any fit young babe wishing to hold on to her street cred is most unlikely to wish to be seen as playing second fiddle to an old age pensioner, poor Kirk, if he wishes to pursue an active sexual life, may be obliged to go down the old born again road.
That’s right he may have to declare himself reborn as GAY!
But sure he’s lovely and choochy and all that and anyway the gay community are very tolerant so he should be well taken care of, in which case he would do well to brush up on his fellatio skills though I doubt very much if anyone will mind how he spells it (except perhaps Stephen Fry).
slartibuckfast,
‘I still can’t believe that I’m not dreaming all this.’
Truth can be stranger than fiction
Brilliant Moaner edition btw
)))
‘Iris Robinson calls for Iris Robinson to be stoned to death. As it clearly states in Leviticus 20 verse 10 as per Leviticus etc etc ‘
Hilarious
I’m sure there’s a lot more material out there for future editions .
erasmus
‘the whole thing is GUBU’
GUBUDUP ? DUPGUBU ?
UBERGUBU?
chewnic ,
enough of that now
rates a 10 though
Rory
I could´ve been a Judge but I didn´t have the Latin.
GUBUDUP ? DUPGUBU ?
UBERGUBU?
Just plain grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented.
Erasmus,
Yes I know but in truth it’s not all that bizarre or unbelievable -happens all the time -Just not with First Minister’s wives or with those who make a political career out of preaching the word of their God while not practicing it . The Irish Bishops and clergy have been guilty of worse ffs .
Yes its all vary sad when the masks come off and the whole grotty shower are seen scampering as fast they can to hold on to as much loot as they can .
To quote Shakespeare
‘That which being but taught has returned to plague the teacher’
BTW
CJ did a better job of keeping the crap hidden until he had departed to that place from which no answers emanate!
A menopausal woman was cracking up, took an ungly teenage gigolo,totally lost the run of herself and all you can do is laugh and say that homosexuals are heroes. All the homosexual popper mob can think about is screwing their mates, screwing the system and moaning about how hard they have it.
The Iris comments here degrade your other comments. The truth will out and all that.
There’s no nut like an internet nut.
all you can do is laugh and say that homosexuals are heroes
I am unable to find the word homosexual or any synonym thereof (which are legion) in this thread before you broached the topic, Paddy. I suggest that you may have an obsession or an unresolved conflict that needs looking into.
Rory
A street wise bihatch hoe has just assured me that the spelling of fellacio as opposed to fellatio is wicked and urban speak for da blo jab.
BTW I wasn´t aware that Latin was exclusively Catholic. I remember we did it for three tedious years at state grammar school. I obviously didn´t listen in class.
Would that, dear Doctor be in the same same sense that Turgon’s and others’ constant spelling of ‘loose’ for ‘lose’ on this site is “bihatch hoe…wicked and urban speak” for having permanently mislaid an item?
You are correct in saying that a knowledge of Latin is not confined exclusively to Catholics which I have always thought is a pity as it deprives us of the opportunity to be terribly snobbish about it. And you do know what a terrible snob I am.
In medio tutissimo ibis -Ovid
In Iris tutissimo non ibis – Dupibus Ulsteribus
Et homo factus est etc
“BTW I wasn´t aware that Latin was exclusively Catholic.”
I wasn’t aware it was on the syllabus. I don’t remember it from the Gallic Wars. The Aeneid maybe?
