    I think the only reason he is DUP leader is because he was Paisley's wee puppet. I agree he doesn't appear to be much of a First Minister and as I've said he appears to me to be unwell.

    Perhaps Iris is up to her old tricks?

    Heard a rumour!

    No I have nothing to spill and my fingers aren't crossed as I type that. :p There appears to be something wrong with him though and why make such a glaring error vis-a-vis his accusation against Allister? I was just speculating that perhaps all isn't well with the chap and given her track record Auntie Irish "could" be responsible. Also if you look above you'll see I wondered why he would make an accusation about Jim Allister's wife - surely one needs clean hands to do that?

    I read it as ib BigAl has heard a rumour as there was no question mark after his statement - my "spill" comment was directed to him.

    We're deciding on whether or not to invest our DLA in Northern Ireland. If the First Minister has gone gaga we'd have to reconsider. :cool:

    I assumed this section was for all things local, money saving or not.

    I am a newbie though and maybe wrong.

    I thought that the first minister should have give an apology.

    You assumed right. We just need to be careful what we say so no name calling - ok? :p

    I thought that the first minister should have give an apology and where did he get this information from, another member of the DUP's former solicitor's office..... something is very fishy. Wasn't Peter involved in his own scandal with Fraser Developments.


    That's kind of what I was wondering so what gives him the moral right to attack Allister?
