My memory of this is that the pellet burners were fed wood pellets which were sourced, in the main, in Fermanagh.

(Irish history tangent)

A relative of mine, Rev Philip Skelton, was a vicar in Fermanagh in the 1700s. He was one of those eccentric clergymen, and his biographer tells many wondrous stories about him.

One time he gave a man a shilling and said he had paid that sum to see a camel in Dublin, but it was just as great a marvel to meet an honest man in Fermanagh.

Anyone think @A24Direction might be a fictitious prof?

This from Chat GPT:

‘Thus: if someone uses the title “Professor” (when they are not legitimately one) and (1) does so dishonestly, (2) makes a false or misleading representation, (3) does so with the intent of gain (financial or other benefit) or to cause loss to someone else, then there is a possibility of a fraud offence.’

in a tribunal setting it would definitely be seen as a false representation to a claimant’s or respondent’s hearing because the title lends weight to their authority and would easily be argued in court that it reached the level of criminality.

A defence might be that she didn’t realise she couldn’t use it but in the environments within which she claims to operate that would be a stretch.

Gillian McKeith used the title Dr to misrepresent herself as a medical doctor but she did hold a PhD tho not from an accredited institution which means that you can’t use the title (institution needs to be accredited to issue such a degree) so there was a little bit of greyness that meant it might not be criminal representation.

I suspect that no one would want to charge Boyd though as it would bring the whole judiciary into disrepute.

What you posted is broadly fine but purely by way of a heads up, LLMs have a lot of form for hallucinating, esp oddly enough, in the legal domain. There's been quite a few unfortunate cases of LLM hallucinations making it into court in various jurisdictions & causing havoc, & one barrister in England may be facing contempt charges for proferring made-up machine nonsense to the Court. Handle LLM/ AI legal takes with enormous caution. (They hallucinate plenty elsewhere too & their coding keeps declining in quality, & nobody knows why.)

I was stuck by the description of Prof Dr DB on Facebook as "mama bear"
It's a very Alphabet People description for mothers who are strident in their lack of sense.

A24 is an independent film company. Sometimes the logo has a rainbow in the number 4.
They probably have lots of Bigly screen users, some of whom are watching their grift slowly going down the pan.

I’m extremely LLM literate thank you. As you will note from my post I did not assert any of it would be suitable for use in a court of law for the very reason that I declared it was from ChatGPT. I also know many brainiacs on here are more than LLM literate. Sometimes it is a faster search engine than Google and merely a first step.

What is your point?? Who exactly are you to say what we ‘mothers’ should talk about?

This is amazing stuff! I haven't been following on here before today (mistake as I can't possibly catch up now!) and I can't listen to those videos at the moment, but I don't know if they would answer my question anyway, so can someone clarify for me if there's any actual evidence that Professor Professor was involved with the Cash for Ash scheme or are they just comparing the autoclave scheme to the RHI one? I can't quite work that out!
Thanks!

Not at all. I only meant, are there relevant aspects of it still on-going. If I was bored by it, I wouldn't be on the thread.

I am sorry. I am a ni person and therefore madly defensive :-). lol….

SionnachRuadh · 16/11/2025 23:11

The public inquiry reported, and Arlene Foster said "mistakes were made", and since the Executive is back up and running there is no desire on the part of the high heidyins to revisit the whole thing.

But it shone a light on a lot of how our wee institutions work, and those issues have not gone away.

As far as they are still ongoing. No they were as usual swept well under the carpet. Anyway, this tribunal has brought some of it up but i think it will go back to buried again. All we can hope for is laws that mean we don’t get big hairy men in our changing rooms :-)

I don’t think there’s any evidence of a link - it’s speculative based on the general area of waste recovery. I do not own an autoclave so am def not an expert but I think RHI was about wood pellets and Re3 were doing something else (“all waste”). So I think this angle is a stretch (but I have never looked at Ash for Cash / RHI in any depth.

Whoa. It was a straight comment and an aside re the cliche view of women on Mumsnet. @BetaTwoAgony got it right. I appreciate the depth and range of knowledge and experience on these threads and was enjoying the fact you could just throw away a comment like this.
