I left twitter unaware that it was a trend, I left because it was vicious and unkind, . Ultimately JK Rowling was my final straw, to read the nasty words of a woman capable of such wonderful writing left me cold. It had nothing to do with the subject and everything to do with her tone.

They have a new name now "detainees" for Palastian hostages "1,700 detainees from Gaza, which includes nearly two dozen children"

As someone who regularly visited family members in every hospital in Belfast in the last year, the RVH is the most miserable, all the nurses do is complain, it must be a horrible toxic place to work. On the opposite end, I would say the Mater is probably the most pleasant with the nicest staff.

Wishing you both the strength to endure and beat this horrible illness.

Smoking ban showed that. There was instant compliance. Watched the hardest of men get up and go outside for a smoke from day 1. Therefore the law was a success

Have not missed an episode for 25 years, it is part of my bedtime routine but these last couple of months it's be difficult to stay interested. Decline started with double booked Airbnb story.

Sorry both St Columbanus and St Malachys have less than 50% Catholic pupillage, StComgalls is normally over subscribed.

Obviously I am happy to be proven wrong by any reports you have on Bangor's Catholic populations' attitude to integrated education.

Rathmore is in the catchment area for St Comgalls. Where are they going to get their Catholic pupils from. I could see an argument being made for a school the other side of town, but it would be a rare case that a Catholic parent would chose Rathmore over St Comgalls.

As part of the community I have heard no demand. The only concern I hear regarding schools places is the difficulty some parishioners have getting their children into St Comgalls. Both St Comgalls and St Malachys haves less than 50% Catholic pupilage.

He does have a point. There is not a demand for an integrated school in Bangor from the Catholic community and not enough Catholics in the town needing it. The Catholic secondary school has less than 50% Catholic pupils.

To be honest needs something, last week's scam guest story felt like a pointless filler unless there is some link to a future plot.

A combination of the pictures from Gaza, the justification of it, and American politics.
