@HedgeFundFomo We've heard it all before. Several days ago was going to be the biggest crash ever...

Unfortunately today will be a Black Wednesday crash of epic proportions Get ready for 1929 again Buckle up

@TSnooker102 A coin toss?? We're not even in round 2. Wise up. I'd love to see Selby in it, but he's not near as strong as some of the players. Can't count Xiotong, Allen, Trump Higgins or Osullivan out

This tournament really is a coin toss between Selby and Wilson. Shame that they won't meet in the final.

@JamieBrysonLLB Pity you can't use a unionist legal team!

An important victory over pan-Republican Belfast City Council. The grounds of challenge which failed on call-in procedures will clearly now go to Court of Appeal. But if the current position stands, then unionist dominated councils must now impose cultural dominance.

@TSnooker102 Stupid post. Losing 10 nil would have knocked his confidence. Kyran just might have done that with his over zealous celebration. Was there any need for 4 fist pumps? Uncalled

Moody is a great talent but it probably would have been better for him to lose 10-0. This will be a huge blow to his confidence.

@Kscott_94 @niamh_journo Ah you've missed the point by dishing out abuse yourself. It's fair game sometimes for politicians to have a dig at each other (Poundland Putin and Temu Trump) but it's pretty poor for a journalist to stoop low when defending a journalist that has received simlar abuse

The level of abuse that has been waged at my colleague @niamh_journo for her great piece this weekend is staggering. Niamh's response to the moon-howlers sums up her professionalism. As for NI's answer to Jacob Rees-Mogg, he should take a good, long, hard look at himself.

@CryptoNobler Nothing major has happened....move on

@Cath_friel @JP_Biz 2million to administer it.

@stephenirwin80 @JP_Biz It’s a political stunt by the DUP, the administration costs were never mentioned

Communities Minister Gordon Lyons says the £100 home heating oil grant should be paid in about three months from now.

@Cath_friel @JP_Biz I didn't say you did...I'm just opposing it, and calling it out as it just suits those on benefits...(mainly)

@stephenirwin80 @JP_Biz 🤷‍♀️ I didn’t make the rules

@Cath_friel @JP_Biz Anyone that works a full week on the minimum wage and have a partner will be above the 30k.

@stephenirwin80 @JP_Biz No, those that work hard like yourself but are on low incomes…..

@Choyaa13 @AlexKane221b @LucidTalk @JonBurrowsMLA @BelTel Burrows ratings won't necessarily translate into more support for his UUP MLA's. I think they will be a very slight increase, just like Claire Hanna is the most popular Nationalist leader, there isn't a chance of the SDLP gaining at the expense of Sinn Fein

@AlexKane221b @LucidTalk @JonBurrowsMLA @BelTel I think the DUP has a slight problem, Gavin has a lot of goodwill behind him but being relegated into third place within Unionism is an issue. He's too low profile and this isn't helping their polling numbers. The party is going to have to make a few changes in their operations.

At the time of the last @LucidTalk poll, in January, I noted that critics and potential party rebels of @JonBurrowsMLA would be keeping a close eye on the next one (published in today’s @BelTel). They’ll be happy. Most popular figure across unionism and no dip in ratings.

@Cath_friel @JP_Biz ...and who falls into that category? Those who don't work very much...

@stephenirwin80 @JP_Biz If you have oil and have a joint income under £30,000 you can put it a claim, no ones stopping you

@stuffedmagpie @RBlackPA @niamh_journo @BelTel It isn't... it's Bryson and a few loud voices on twitter. He doesn't speak for the majority of us..

@RBlackPA @niamh_journo @BelTel Isn't this just the essence of NI? Oppose what themmuns are saying/doing. It's very ugly

I responded to Jamie Bryson’s call for unionist students to wear Orange Order attire 'retaliation' to GAA tops He says I’ve "missed the point" - despite me quoting him directly throughout You can read my full article online👇🏼 (or in today's @BelTel 🗞️) belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comment/opinio…

@niamh_journo @BelTel I think it is Bryson who misses the point.

@renewablesmiffy @JP_Biz 16-18 days worth of heating oil more than people who actually work hard will get.

@JP_Biz 16-18 days worth of heating oil for the average home to be funded five months after the price shock began.

@mgtruth I don't have a problem either way...this is of course similar to when Mathew Otoole complained about box of strawberries in M&S in 'union flag' wrapped boxes..

@mgtruth The point is...why can't they be available for those who want them, and another bag available for those who don't? The people who were so intolerant to complain to M&S is where the problem lies.

I mean, we’re at the beginning of a potential financial world crisis and this is where we are in NI. Bags and manufactured outrage around symbols and emblems. Balance and respect is when we treat each other well and equally. Not bloody marketing branded carrier bags.

@InTheBalls147 Willo v Kowalski isn't a stand out match..

Honestly one of the best draws i can remember. So many stand out matches. For me if I had to pick 5 Higgins / Carter Hawkins / Stevens Ding / Gilbert Selby / Jones Willo / Kowalski

Surely not @MatthewOToole2 ?

@mgtruth Surely the problem lies with the person or group who was most intolerant in the first place to complain about a bag?? Strange how you've turned it around..

@stephenirwin80 I’d suggest that the complaints department in most large retail outlets would give you a laugh. They’ve dealt with the complaint & removed a bag not available in most sites in the UK. A simple solution for a major retailer here.
