Belfast gets new Tourist Attraction

I was given series 3 DVD for xmas. It includes the infamous Father Crilly is a racist episode amongst others. Then theres the trip to the mainland " i dont believe it! ,and Mrs Doyle fighting to pay in the tea rooms !.One of my favourites is of course the Lingerie Dept great escape. I think it helps if you are Irish or have Irish roots.Sacrilege,I defy anyone to watch the episode with dougal driving the milk float with the bomb on it and father ted and other priests have the idea of praying for him from a trailer pulled by a tractor,its hilarious.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0 -
I think we should get the local catholic priest out to bless the water cannons .If the rioters thought they where getting soaked with holy water in East Belfast they would soon move on ."Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0

If only the Palace would issue a request that the flag is not flown today because they wish to have no association between themselves and the claimed 'cause'. Give a middle finger to the whole lot of them and say "you aren't in our society so go **** yourselves".Always overestimating...0

Buck house never get involved in politics .They might be tory toffs in private but not in public.If only the Palace would issue a request that the flag is not flown today because they wish to have no association between themselves and the claimed 'cause'. Give a middle finger to the whole lot of them and say "you aren't in our society so go **** yourselves"."Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0 -
Sometimes I get the impression this has a lot to do with welfare reform whereas the MLA's on their big fat salaries are only too willing to maintain parity with london on welfare reform and are bent on inflicting pain even on their own supporters who are on benefits.
SO out of touch the most of them are, its a case of I'm all right jack, my big pay cheque is on schedule for next month, now go and live on Your job seekers allowance and if you are on ESA we will stop that too if we feel like it.
Just my opinion, don't think its all just about flags.

It's not even to do with that.... It's a power struggle within a certain organisation...... there are two or three "new" leaders in the pipeline and this is one of them flexing his muscles as he's the most hard line of them all.. funny how the Murals of George Best, Titanic etc in the area are now all painted back with Paramilitary Murals!!! Says it all......
Nothing to do with the Fleg, nothing to do with Welfare reform..... Just a bit power struggle in a certain organisation. Unionist Politicians are all nice and Middle Class and couldn't givea tosss about the working class areas...... throw money at them and hope they go away... then the money dries up and guess what... trouble on the streets again.... they are treating the people like spoilt kids.... There is no proper representation for the working class in Unionist politics so they get dragged into these organisations as they are easily brainwashed0 -

Flags are a devolved matter - some idiot in Whitehall probably thought it came under the "easy stuff". :rotfl:
Haven't seen a list for 2013 yet but this is the 2012 list - OFMDFM are still probably copying the DCMS list off their website in pen and ink.
