    I doubt it helped, in competition for a prize named after Orwell,that a thread was posted on Slugger the same week the long list was released suggesting the powers that be were crowing at having the n.i. media in the tank.

    Cheers Drumlin,
    The trouble and strife is Episcopalian so she’s more of a George Washington catholic than a Henryviii catholic
    .

    O.K. well to prove your point you and Drumlin could run through the Village next 11th night shouting I’m a catholic and see how the facts work out.

    Anyway your lodge name is pisspoor. Where’s your imagination? What’s wrong with LOL 0000 Young Unicorns?

    Mick,
    The Supreme court ruled all navigable waterways are publically owned as are their banks and beds so I doubt he could plea the fifth as you say. And I’m sure there are one or two who might suggest the tan war was more effective at delivering Ireland from Lords and their property rights

    Apologies for the hurt feelings Carl; I didn’t realize that with zingers like “it is to be hoped prosecuted for stealing public property” facetiousness was solely your demesne,
    but my wider point was about the ridiculousness and absurdity of someone called Lord Shaftsbury still owning the largest body of fresh water in Ireland in 2012.

    BTB & DR,
    I did think of that but you aren’t normally labelled as catholics; you are Anglican, or Cof I and in some parts episcopalian no?. The reference to catholic orangemen made me wonder what the lodge name would be… the rising sons of self-loathing?

    “I return again to ask, what problem are we trying to solve here?”

    Isn’t it that the lease expired on the 24th of April 1916?

    BTB
    “there are loads of catholic orangemen”

    That’s possibly the best comment ever put on Slugger. Not only are they all unionists, but now they are joining the loyal orders in droves.
