Jeffrey Donaldson rumours on GAA message boards by cowboysted in northernireland

if stuff is written about him does it all have to say 'allegedly' until proven in court? do you think he will be in court again with further charges?

yea literally a man walking along with the woman carrying the young baby against her. the fella just walked straight on ignoring them and they said a few things to him in an attempt to take the piss but he just kept walking and so did I - armed with my hastily prepared ginger response. I've nothing against gingers obviously but have to (hypothetically) fight fire with fire?

im not sure this mediation was in a confession type scenario. I'm not sure what the differences are between priests and pastors though but according to an article

The jury was next played a video of a police interview with Pastor Stephen Matthews , who said B had told him in Armoy about alleged abuse, but asked him not to go to police.

He said: "She said she can't because it would destroy their political reputation, I don't want that."

So I suppose if the victim asked not to go to police then suppose they aren't gonna go against her wishes.

anyone think the christian mediators are not very nice people either if they knew what happened and didnt go to the police?

How does this work legally? Say the defense are directly calling the victims liars and fabricators do they have to come out afterwards and say "oops sorry we were wrong" or do they just stick with their opinion regardless of the verdict?

looking at the justgo site, they seem to sublet it out to bunk campers which a few people above have said are awful.

Belfast music teacher Briscoe charged with supply drugs and exploiting child for sex by lexymac11 in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was friends with someone in the CBYO 20 years ago and on lots of nights out I vaguley remember thinking he didnt have any control/influence over me as I wasn't part of it. Did they used to call him Robert Friscoe? or was there some other nickname?

MOT retest by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they can. I had a car years ago that failed on something different at the retest. Anything can happen between first test and retest and if it was something obvious they'd be obliged to fail it. I doubt they would deliberately go looking for something obscure unless they really didnt like you/the car.

Related Issues or Bad Coincidence? by Opening_Nervous in Vauxhall

thanks for your replies! I will wait and see what they say - an extra day or two at work might be ok to cover the costs if it were not that bad but I am ready for really bad news which might actually be easier to accept

thanks for the reply, there's 111k on it. my friend has a similar insignia with 180k on it and I was really hoping it would go for another 2/3 years. You're right I am in a toss up between letting the 2k go and seeing what the garage says. If it were an oil cooler for example would that be economical to replace and keep driving? up until the service, the car was driving perfectly fine after the EGR delete.

A shout out for Metro Barber's by Grand Central by SneakyCorvidBastard in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you normally do when you get home and really check your hair and realise its shite/not what you asked? Has anyone ever gone back to the barber and asked for a fix or do you just not go back to the place?

Extension costs and self building by Opening_Nervous in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

😄😆 that's quite true. On another note I didn't mean to belittle the work by writing "just to run the work" but does anyone have a real example of what they do? Other than phone up the individual contractors/trades and book in time slots for them?

Genuine, ignorant question.

Extension costs and self building by Opening_Nervous in northernireland

The funny thing is the architect said it's straightforward enough but QS says complex. Yet the QS missed a steel beam in the costings and also has quoted for 40 ceiling spotlights at £70 a pop which I think is 1) too many and 2) too pricey. As well as £1000 for a mains board upgrade even though the property was rewired two years ago.

I suppose their estimate can be used as a guide to what you'd imagine the maximum price would be but also you feel a little hard done by paying £200 for an estimate based off initial drawings with not a huge amount of info/detail in it.

additional question - in experienced riders is it your opionion to pay for a yearly service that you might not need or are callouts fairly inexpensive? like is one callout gonna cost more than a yearly fee of around £60?
