Agreed, they are the most beautiful little dogs, a thoroughly good all round dog.

There’s nothing cuter than a “teacup” Pomeranian puppy…

Teacups are cute but too small for my liking, so easy to sit on and crush or step on.

You obviously haven't seen a fully grown 'Irish Wolfhound'................ Ian Paisley's favourite.

That's one of the ugliest...

On the subject of 'His Reverence', he noticed that the 'Stetson' worn by Michael Jackson in 'The Killer', has recently been authenticated as a genuine article and, together with such proof, has been valued at auction in the reserve sum of $75.000 US.

He has decided to auction off his 'Black Overcoat' in the hope of raising funds for his wake (if the worst should happen) and when asked why he chose THAT particular item said. "Ah, there will be little use for 'Overcoats' where I am likely to end up!".

Sure Dr No would have had some graaand craic with Denktas...

Funny, I was comparing him with Denky too. The big difference is that he eventually "repented" for the good of his people and got on very well with his former enemy, Martin McGuiness, in the Stormont Parliament.

The old boy was a frequent guest in my in-laws' front room, "counting on their vote". That's the trouble, half of them loved him blindly. Big rural population, many of them uneducated and easily manipulated by a mixture of religious warnings and outright xenophobia (what is all this reminding you of? ). The brighter ones got into Queens, discovered their dreaded compatriots from the other half of the population were exactly like them, graduated and got the first boat or plane to Britain. Though thankfully, some are staying to build a better place.

Then there are those who carry the memories of the injustices that were foisted upon their forebears by an evil foreign nation that unleashed the fury of the 'Black and Tans' upon them, an army of brutal convicts who were released from their gaols to persecute a defenceless population merely because they refused to be subjugated.

Those who hold fast to the dignity of the freedom which was (and still is) embedded in their very hearts and can never be bound by foreign chains.

Whose forbears were burned from their homes,tortured and slaughtered when they resisted, whose cries still haunt the memories of those they left behind.

Out of those who DID succumb to the will of the invaders, came the family 'Paisley' and 'His Reverence' is the end product of a line which began in the darker days of persecution and deprivation, days when honest men were bludgeoned to death for refusing to dispense with their own language.

For, it is said that one of Ian Paisley's forebears, was seen a'scurrying and a'skittering like a travelling rat through a narrow 'Bohereen' in the 'Beara Peninsula' of 'County Cork', clutching a loaf of bread and a bowl of soup in the 'Times of the Famine'.

At what cost to his own countrymen did he feast upon the 'Bribery' of the 'Black and Tans', how often was he NOT seen a'scurrying and a'skittering ?.

Small wonder that 'These Days', there are those folk of 'Irish' descent living in territories where the colours of 'The Butcher's Apron' are emblazoned upon the 'Kerb-stones', who do not know whether they be 'English' or 'Irish', BUT, they are not ALL like that, "Thanks be to Jayzus" says Patrick Muldoon.

You may think 'silly' but true nonetheless, have you ever listened to their dreary music and lyrics, a bunch of Leonard Cohen followers

Are you referring to one LC fan from here perchance?

[bellamina]

My partners father was Irish and even he used to say the music was dire

Then he probably was a 'Belfastian' rather than an 'Irishman', the poor unfortunate spalpeen.
