@angelshalagina Maybe the US could give the Russians Alaska.

@BelTel He will do just about anything to be the main story. A real hero. ME, ME, ME.

@HenriVanhanen Where is @UN in any peace talks throughout the world? Have they just shut up shop?

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

The person in question has no respect for anyone in positions of authority regularly calling people ony by their surname. His wings need clipped, big time.

[Jim Deeds @gymforthesoul]

The presenter of Peelers describing the people police were chasing in the programme as 'these wasters' on TalkBack. Is this the way @bbcradioulster presenters should talk? Many people will agree with him of course. But it strikes me as inappropriate for presenters.

This appointment wouldn't be a complete surprise given the puppets that supposedly run the club.

[Football Funnys @FootballFunnys]

BREAKING NEWS:

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@BBCMOTD He has way too much class to be associated with this once great club.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@henrywinter The current owners and hierarchy can only be described as a complete shower who have no respect for anyone.
Any new manager coming in should ask for the largest amount they can think of and a 10 year contract with no opt-out clauses on the club's side.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@NewtonEmerson I'm not surprised. It's completely illogical.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@newsoncool @duponline @deborah_cheryl @jamesgould23 This was opportunist politically motivated faux shock and horror orchestrated by DUP and UFU.

Now disguised as a seat of government.

[Northern Ireland Assembly @niassembly]

Did you know Parliament Buildings was disguised with bitumen and cow manure during the Second World War?

During the Belfast Blitz, Parliament Buildings was considered a potential bombing target. As well as being home to the Northern Ireland Parliament, the building was also an RAF operations centre.

As a camouflage from enemy aircraft, the building was covered in a mixture of bitumen and cow manure.

The disguise did its job, and Parliament Buildings survived the bombing raids.

It took several years to clean off and even today some small staining marks remain in the ornate stonework.

@PhillipBrett21 Double standards are not exclusive to SF.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@duponline @DianeForsytheNI Time to close down and lock up this talking shop permanently. Money saved put straight into health transformation.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@CatharineHoey @timcairns @SuzyJourno The point is SF support was waining until Drumcree was resurrected. A massive own goal for unionism.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@SJAMcBride They were the only real hope for Northern Ireland. However the form of government here doesn't allow for non nationalist or non unionist parties.
Serious reform needed. Reform cannot be decided by the parties who only have there own self interest. This is why we are in stalemate.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@bbctheview @SuzyJourno Sad reality is you have to be a hard line nationalist or unionist when coming up to election time (and we are always coming up to an election) in order to get votes.
I'm not sure why they want the votes as they do nothing when elected. Northern Ireland is finished.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@GerryAdamsSF Maybe SF should fund Moore St.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@little_pengelly Of course you will. You have to try and hold onto the last few votes the party still has.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@RhonddaBryant I suggest in future you should only meet ministers in the Executive in respect of budget talks. Not the leaders of parties who sit in other bodies and have no involvement in the NI Assembly.

[Paul Murray @murray8983]

@RhonddaBryant Hold firm. Call their bluff.
