Can't get the Simon & Garfunkel song out of my head this morning. And just having an extra cup of coffee to celebrate - anyone care to join me?

That might be the missed moment of the night......

I thought his voice was wavering a lot during his speech.

He is still a member of the devolved assembly though so can carry on as Deputy FM (is that right?)

The woman who won looked good. Did you want her to win??

bubble2bubble · 07/05/2010 10:21

I thought he was a bit " well I didn't want to stand anyway so don't care now " pathetic actually
Sadly he is still FM
And yes, I think Naomi Long is great

Yes, I agree, Naomi Long is fab

Did you hear Radio Ulster's results montage? They used Four Seasons' 'What a night'. . .

'What a lady, what a night'

And just for poor Peter: 'As I recall, it ended much too soon'!

Think Iris has a lot to answer for! On that note, stopped at Lock-keeper's on Monday. DD was wandering around outside, clearing rubbish & putting it in the bin. Iris' ex came over & told me she was 'just gorgeous'!

Hi all,

first time poster so feel free to let me know if im going wrong anywhere. What do you all think of the robinson scenario? you actually couldnt write this stuff!

PlumBumMum · 08/05/2010 17:05

I'm actually abit peeved all I have heard is looks like we will have to start listening to what the elctorate want, erm... who were they listening to before

Where is Iris these days anyway?
I think Edwin Poots is going to try and step up[aarrgghh] heard him being interviewed he wasn't too forthcoming with his Peter is our Leader speech from a couple of months ago

bubble2bubble · 08/05/2010 18:00

Edwin Poots - I just can't listen to what he's saying 'cos I am looking at his EARS

Isn't it incredible how they have managed to keep Iris out of the way for the election campaign? Surely someone must know where she is? The Priory has been suggested, but that's probably not true.
My guess is their house in Florida with a Cuban toyboy

I thought she was attending a clinic in london? she was photographed there. Can you imagine what it must be like in their home now though? strained isnt in it!

MILFintraining · 08/05/2010 23:31

I'm delighted he's gone. Can't stand the man, his wife or his politics.

Remember when the story broke in January about Iris shagging your man, and he was pictured with a "Daddy" card ostentatiously placed behind him? Talk about staged.

I have to say im not a fan myself. I mean its like a throw back to the last century hearing her going on about homosexuality and the whole time she is sleeping with a guy younger than her kids!

I feel sorry for her for attempting suicide - things must be pretty bad for anyone to do that but really she does herself no favours.

I agree, it was staged, and so obvious! Im fairly broad minded when it comes to politics (even though Im from the other side of the house so to speak regarding the Robinson's politics) but the 2-facedness of it. I would love to see her having to answer questions on it!

Here's a link. So glad the TUV got scuppered. Along with the Alliance win, does this herald the emergence of reason in NI politics?

Eve · 11/05/2010 20:50

I think this was a big step forward for NI politics.. voters chose morality over religion.

Is there anyone who didn't have a bad taste in their mouth after the Robinson's behaviour.

WhenKevinMetSadie - your name has just given me a huge wave of nostalgia. I loved those books.

tell me did anyone hear the radio interview with peter robinson, sorry was in a cab at the time so no idea of which radio station. It was basically the first interview he gave after he lost the election. The interviewer was asking questions and peter robinson senior was getting quite angry, you could then hear the interviewer saying there is no need to push me mr robinson, thats mr robinson junior im referencing. i mean what was that about, you can now assualt someone because you dont like the questions they are asking?
