Is it any wonder everyone thinks we're thick?

Sinn Fein's vote share went up. Not down. UP. WTF? Seriously?
Presumably all the recent horrors only encouraged hard liners to go and vote to prove a point, as in our last election. Great tactic that, look how far it's gotten us!
Either that or the southern lot have adopted the tried and tested Belfast method of graveyard votes.


Back up North and it seems that the loyalist scum have got fed up with the republican scum grabbing all the attention & headlines and have jumped on the murder-covering-up bandwagon themselves.

And for all the outcry it doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere. Sinn Fein members who were in the bar the night Robert McCartney was murdered 'saw nothing' (that bar must have the biggest toilets in the country). If THEY can't testify to what they saw, how the hell is anyone else going to come forward?

God help us when the elections come round. About the only hope we have is that the complacent idiots who didn't bother to vote last time will have seen where their apathy had led us and make an effort this time. It's a very slim hope.

Happy Monday...

more monday woes!

Gnah, just got a call from my friend Christine, who was looking after Ziggy for me today (in return for me looking after her horse on sat.), so I could go have dinner with some friends and see their new place tonight. But she came off and got stood on

( full story )

So now I have two horses to do tonight, and probably for the rest of the week, instead of having a night off. Although it could have been much MUCH worse. In fact it doesn't bear thinking about how much worse it could have been.


ps malvino I got bored and trawled through the various local news/paper sites and I couldn't find a single happy headline for you. We're not big on 'kitten rescued from tree' and so on it seems.

Some time later...

Five hours in casulty with Christine. FIVE HOURS.
Luckily she has no bones broken, no serious damage, she is just very very sore and bruised. Doesn't look like she hit her head either, which is good. She's going to have a rough day tomorrow tho when everything seizes up.

Alas tho I missed an evening of good food and drink with Neil & Jimmy, and also the 2nd half of SUPAR V0LCAN0E!!11!1!1!!! So i will NEVAR KNOW if they all escaped :/
