Judge Nicholas Crichton There’s a judge in England who’s got plans for heroin users in this little north-eastern corner. No, that’s unfair – he has plans but he’s implementing them in England and he thinks it would be a good idea to implement them here as well. I’m not nearly so sure. Why so? Well, […]

Shock-horror – Michael McDowell doesn’t like the southern media!
Like me, you probably woke up this morning fretting about how the economic situation north and south would affect the peace process. Good news. Michael McDowell, late of the late Progressive Democratic party, has explained that the down-turn won’t knock the peace process off-course. I’d say Hooray, except then I remember this is the same […]

That supergrass trial – who’s guilty?
I knew at least one supergrass – Eamon Collins, who later was killed, very probably by the IRA. Eamon was a likeable man with a hunger for the spotlight and in the end, he bought it at the price of his life. I thought of him yesterday, when the loyalist supergrass trial collapsed in the […]

Oh please, please – not the old tit-for-tat crap again
Davy Adams ( late of this parish and of the late UDP) is a man I like. I interviewed him a couple of months ago and he was accommodating in every way. He also has some things worth saying, as well as a few others he should say but doesn’t, and the odd thing that’s […]

The amazing Fr Eugene O’Neill
It’s amazing what you read in the papers. A-ston-ishing. The most recently example was yesterday in The News Letter, which reports a Glengormley priest – Fr Eugene O’Neill- as saying that no priests under forty-five are interested in removing the border. Apparently it was on the back of a “Thought for the Day” he did […]

Just what we need -another golf course. Thanks, Alex
You can be too modest, too. You can go around all the time saying “I am a worm and no man”, and then next thing you discover you have greatness thrust upon you. Or if not thrust, at least breathing so close, you can feel its hot breath on your neck. I’m referring, of course, […]
