Well who would have thought it. Big Ian is coming to Dublin. Looks like he's here to make a deal, or is he here to tell Bertie the usual no surrender and all that.
If a deal comes out of this, wouldn't it be ironic that it's done with the DUP and not with the UUP?

It often happens that the deals have to be made with the most extreme elements. e.g. the Nixon's Republicans had to make peace with Mao's China coz the Democrats would have been accused of "selling out".

But it's also a good example of the principle that you make peace with your enemies not your friends.

Don't call him Rev. He's about as Rev as a $10 hooker, which is probably how much he paid for the title.

He's here tomorrow.
And when you say 'go mad', what do you mean? Shower him with flowers? Bomb him with love? Yeah! I get ya, that would really freak him out!

Well I had some mates that were dissapointed that the Orange parade down Dawson street was cancelled a few years ago. They wanted to dress up as Droogs (from A Clockwork Orange) and walk behind the parade
