The only name put forward to take over from Gerry Adams as party leader it was confirmed at a meeting of the ard Korea in West Belfast earlier today this my friends I won't feel Jerry's shoes but the news says that I brought my own I moved into my shoes and we together over the coming years will war a journey which marks a defining chapter and I read Schieffer and of you know I said sorry and the ending of partition at least 5 people have been injured after gunmen attacked the Intercontinental Hotel in the Afghan capital Kabul it's thought 4 men began shooting at guests before special forces were called in the attack comes after the u.s. Embassy in the city warned about security in hotels the B.B.C.'s. Is in Kabul several hours after the attacks thought it's still going on according talking Scholz. 2 attackers or so resisting inside the Hotel Intercontinental a very high profile Hotel in Kabul and 5 people have been injured according to office holds but there are also unconfirmed reports all money people who have died in this attack politicians from the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States have blamed each other for failing to prevent the shutdown of the federal government hundreds of thousands of workers have been sent home with only key services still running the Republican commentator Charlie Wolf believes voters will hold the Democrats accountable the last of the government shutdown some 13 years ago the joking around town was the least we could fall and get some things done you know the government out of the way so I'm not too concerned on this one I think that the Democrats would like their own in this one even though we Republicans have the house in the Senate and presidency I think this time around as with last time that it didn't bode well for the Republican Party when they shut the government down and the weather and the sleet and snow showers will gradually die out to give a largely dry cloudy night lows of minus one degrees or largely dry day with a few rain showers across the north tomorrow highs for.

Saturday get well Saturday Club. In a month or so with a couple of months from now to be 3 years a lot longer some days different mother some of these days of cunt up that's a wee bit longer God love the says Keep up the good work here's a daft wee song sung by a group of the daft name but a catchy little number that's got nothing to do with the Bangor and Country done with one in North Wales. I was watching a programme on the telly over Christmas while I say I was watching my eyes were watching my brain was sort of half watching until now it is a very interesting young man came on the screen and the programme was about how the very rich people of this world indulge themselves when they have a party or when they invite friends Ryan for a celebration of one sort or another. But. How the other half live. There was a firm somewhere in England they chased around sourcing all sorts of very expensive delicacies and then they had a fellow drive a van packed with covering our keel and lots of things I'd never even heard of all the way to a better using ferries part of the way of course to the liver the stuff to a luxury yacht for a bit of a knees up actually you know it was the kill that dumb find me most of all I mean teal is cabbage isn't it. Partly it's this year's must for a dinner party night they didn't actually say on the program how much this shindig racked up but you can be pretty sure it was a bob or 2 more than your 3 courses for a tenner including wine the wind they were looking at was marked up about 3 grand the Buffalo NY that my friend could give you a rather expensive hangover another mob they hired some top chefs to lay on a blanket on the cook's a den hired another firm to suss out all the top notch from all over the world and to rustle up some samples so that they could taste it including some sort of purging which was finished off with a strip of real gold leaf on the top apparently it tastes like. Well gold leaf. The price I don't even ask the caviar alone probably cost more than my car but this fellow I mentioned Anyway this lot it was about 2324 maybe well tricked out nice suit tiny not a decent her coat at 1st sight I'd put him Dinah as maybe a banker venture capitalist an arms dealer footballers' agent that sort of thing turned out he was none of these his job which required him to travel all over the world was to teach table manners to very rich people he had sheds full account but very little time or as your man put it they have all the gear but no idea and he was making a very nice living thank you very much doing just not showing folk which fork to use for the champ is not a spoon job Champ's always been a tricky one when it comes to choosing the correct munching tools now I wouldn't class myself as an expert on eating as a cat not by any means but I think I know just about enough to prevent me from making a complete idiot of myself at the table there are certain rules that most parents try to pass on to their offspring like never slurp your soup never speak with your mouth never put their relatives on the table Incidentally most of these little rules are based on pretty son common sense like not speaking with your mouth is a reasonable defense against choking the ones about the elbows on the table it's interesting apparently came from the navy many years ago when the sealers were fed big long bench like tables to stop their plates sliding all over the place in stormy weather the used to put their elbows on either side of the dish of the plate . Then the nobility felt that well the behavior of common sailors below decks was not suitable for genteel dining and so it became front upon another we took for you just in case you do get a call to have a bite of supper with her majesty or Simon Cowell or someone of that ilk never never ever tip your soup plate up to scoop up the remaining dregs of the chicken and sweetcorn very bad form suggests you see that the host hasn't given you enough and always of course push the spoon away from you never draw it towards your common sense because then if you spill some soup Well it will drip over their tablecloth and not your not come note napkin survey has considered a bit lower orders not as apparently. I suppose this is the sort of thing that your mom would teach to oligarchs and oil magnets like how ever tempted you are to spit your op Ok purse or your plum stones into the fireplace just remember it might be a real fire in there and if it happens to be an electric one well you could block out the whole of done to Nabi with one might. Just common sense really if I ever met this guy I don't have to ask him firstly if it's alright to talk you're not going into your collar like one row does you know rather than lead over your lap the way the Metra Deede Dawson push restaurants for it makes more sense to me they have a tucked in their neck given my track record with gravy stay in times and shirts. Actually that's not an option I need when I need really is more of a poncho just a hole from a head and a sheet that is the nominees but would that be acceptable in high class circles and wonder and also quite like to ask what you're supposed to do when you're chomping on the chop and the big bit of bone nearly chokes you do you prize it out with your fingers or do you hope about your mouth with your fork which is potentially dangerous or do you pretend to blow your nose on your napkin and then spit it out as part of the maneuver these are all important questions a-C. These are survival tactics the fort will remember when it comes to drinks the port is always passed to the left so tough if you happen to be the last in the line and remember if you don't see a bottle of tomato ketchup on the table probably better not to ask for one Similarly for brunch sauce mayonnaise or pick a little way and another tip before you have a go with the salt cellar just do a quick check that the cap is tightly knit because in my circle of friends and is not unknown for some philanthropist to loosen the top almost completely so some person ends up with a novel and of salt over the past the supper. The thing about etiquette you see is that it does tend to change with the years fashions come and go for instance in the early Victorian era it would not only have been considered good manners to emit an enormous Belsher at the end of a meal in fact it was generally regarded as the highest compliment one could pay one's host or hostess other bodily signs I gather were also tolerated but generally only after the gentleman had retired to the study for brandy and cigars so if you're at a loss whether or not to perform in such a manner after your burger and chips own the whole. I think I would advise against . What. What. What. but . In a stripped back dating series My name is Carne monkey and I was a former Miss Arden supernational 6 p.c. Queens unmask their true selves I stay in New Mexico and put myself in there as me with some help I just bought this for today and we didn't get from the girls as a game changer we're going bare faced help find Mr Right they are established upright sounds like his own father. Beauty queen and single continues Monday at $1040.00 on b.b.c. One with an hour and. A. Few. Minutes and. At the. End of the list. Any. Details such as. Let me see but she. Keeps. Coming. To your table. Oh I'm. Going to end up as a loser. Ok And she says you. Know. What it's going to be. Came Up With This takes us. To our table manners. That's the question where are your table manners are you the sort of person who would try to eat peas with your knife from the. Can do that you know if the gravy stick and sorry the soul is thick enough and you cook your knife with it you can and you can generally get half a dozen pays to add here to the blade of your knife the way to do it is and it's not really not really good manners is to turn your fork upside down and scoop them up like a spoon that is not really at the cat just take my word for it just needs of its side to the pit carry no and carry. Day trip to Bangor. Kathy to surf yes you're absolutely right was Kathy the surf singing the solo there with fiddlers dry well spotted Kerry. Says it's an expensive hangover the reason most rich people smile when they encounter good booze at a very cheap price. Yeah that's a good question under you haven't got an answer for it but we think about it Billy simply says How about fitting in some Fairport Convention. But it really. I don't have any on my person at the moment but I'll look some up yes that's a sort of a promise Well it's almost a promise Well it's a possibility it might happen Billie good for you to get in touch sometimes I get messages and no idea what her part and I wonder for instance when I read the might my passing state secrets to some enemy of the state reading the site it could be a cold day like this one good evening big Johnny with ass you miss me could you please play girls girls girls by sailor for the man who company mentioned he was chasing a blunder on the Millbrook lords and went home with the Joker This is from the jealous Jiver and the sheep farmer Thank you. Girls girls girls by siller strangely enough. They boldly notion what you're talking about. A true. You. Can't you a. Few . Dusty we do Dusty Springfield. Tonight's mystery voice sons after this fashion which American Republicans tried to ban incident from being played on the radio because they considered it anti capitalist propaganda the newspapers this week have been pretty well awash with surveys which I tell Lyta I love surveys I love trying to find out how they apply to me and I think the 1st one probably DAWs the findings are that there's more than 10000000000 pounds worth of clothes in our wardrobes that we never use in fact man in particular where just about half of the clothes that they own are store. In the wardrobe there are 2 reasons for not wearing some of these things one of them is quote We're waiting for them to come back into fashion and the 2nd reason is we're waiting for our wits line to come back into fashion in other words they don't fit us anymore but we're loath to throw them art because well we're going to lose those extra points and we'll squeeze into them don't worry and the usual things that we don't wear are things like t. Shirts jeans and jackets so they're yours and you lift the New Year resolution for you go and clear out your wardrobe. Latest survey on the health front I would file this under a file labeled if you know what's good for you you will be a very confused person because every week there are surveys telling you do this don't do this and you'll live to be 600 years old or whatever the latest one is if you drink a moderate amount of alcohol $2.00 to $3.00 times a week you have a lower risk of dying from heart attacks or strokes. Not my findings the Norwegian Institute of Public Health but there's a caveat that only applies if you're amongst the wealthiest members of society apparently we in the lower orders it's not quite as good for us as it is for rich brother and sister. And other New Year's resolution for you going Clear out your garbage you never know what you might find in there a lot of stuff you have in years and years if you come across a big red object have another look at it in case it might be a 955 d type Jag you are because if it is you won't have to worry about finding a bob or 2 next week they're going to auction it and they reckon it'll fetch but 9000000 pints. Which is a byte $9000000.00 times more than mine would fit. I think another survey. I love that this is a litter they have find that 42 percent of those who eat meat are. I say more romantic than those who don't eat meat that is in other words vegetarians fall way behind in the quote romantic stakes to put too fine a point on it in other words if you eat a lot of meat you're. More of a Romeo or a Juliet The only thing is this survey was conducted by the girl may meet a lot of Great Britain so I think that one with a pinch of salt and finally gentlemen roll up your trousers and have a look at your socks go I lived on minus minor there just be because I'm very conservative and comes the socks depending on what trousers I'm wearing they're black grey or bays but according to country life colored sucks are back in and you can wear red which tells the world that you are a challenger to Casanova and you probably had a lot of meat as well I don't know what yellow or green would be. I have some friends who are brightly colored socks you know I think I just stick to the big age . And keep them guessing. See. Where you heard a chick just me other day. Googling out help boyfriend in every way. She can pound pumpkin full of complaints. Like she expected folks to be saying. She insisted that he look me solo this was her complaint complete to the nation. Like did. Your church. Like the trick. There you ain't no you can't you know why don't you tell a dog gone you son your socks don't. See the teeth you have. All. Your lip service be to new. York the kind to live. But don't know new ball your socks don't match the ship as you. Reveal your whole one read and write. Told strangers in the polls you should introduce those to. Your God to our. Lovely blue. Cupid No as I go on to. The use of the beds. Back Tain't no use son cause just don't. Get it. As a quick sad. Meaning. Violent you got. You Where are they. Gonna Rain. Totals stranger. You should introduce. You got my lovely blue. Back you know I go but to let it. Go you look. Back Tain't no use son carries your socks don't you gonna read. And it's a well known fact that there isn't a man living whose sock drawer does not include one that hasn't gotten much and the question is nobody's been able answer it since time began one happened to the other sock I was living Jordan a bin Cosby and your socks don't match at my guest in the archive dept tonight coming up after the news is a comedian give you another clue it went through a very painful divorce part of which happened while he was appearing on Celebrity Big Brother I wonder who that can be. And more immediately wonder who this can be which American Republicans tried to ban incidentally from being played on the radio because they considered it anti capitalist propaganda. To tell you this is. a slightly longer version to you and for you to enjoy the one version of Brother Can You Spare a Dime which American Republicans tried to ban incidentally from being played on the radio because they considered it anti capitalist propaganda. Songs recorded during the Great Depression were much less controversial it's that man who was also damn every age Barry Humphries of course well known the straight and gentleman he was the mystery voice right just mind your ears for a 2nd the noisy one coming up from.
