1. Comment on McIlroy’s victory: “There’s a time and place for flags and national celebration of identity.”

   “Matt Cooper in today’s Irish Examiner on the boy the McIlroy, and for whom he won the US Open”

   Not sure whether this is translated from the original Lithuanian — or was it Serbo-Croat? No matter. The thought is there, and that’s all that matters.

   Here are my two eurocents: Goed gedaan, jochie!

   Rory, my lad, that will keep them guessing. You’re a star.

   I had to laugh at the new statement by David Vance, the TUV “hopeful” for Upper Bann.

   He kicks off by siccing an Amnesty International press release:

   “Sadly, lessons from Northern Ireland do not appear to have been learnt, [sic] with UK security personnel accused of complicity in the torture and ill-treatment of detainees held overseas post-2001.”

   And concludes with this gem:

   “I would call upon both parties to disassociate themselves from Amnesty International’s campaign and instead support the many good charities which don’t pedal a Republican agenda.”

   Pedal? On yer bike, Mr Vance

   The Word,

   “You must understand that the New Testament is an expression of Happiness.”

   I’m not responsible for the inferences you draw. Sorry.

    RyanAdams,

    “In fact, I know a catholic family from Fermanagh, one generation had 17 brothers and sisters.”

    Jesus wept! There’s something obscene and primitive about a woman carrying and giving birth to seventeen children.
