Jesus Christ. CUTTING EDGE reporting there.
Local reporting: cool:
I never heard of this shit before and it looks like a story that would be better suited to Friday. Is this an actual thing @Lee?

Obviously the technology is there but I've never seen it used this way. I don't think it's the worst idea in the world; we should definitely be using stuff like FaceTime and Skype for outpatient follow ups, for example. Not quite sure about a virtual doctor rolling about the place though.
This isn't the right thread, but fuck it:
.....
I don't get it.
Smiff has reproduced?
Or it's a bit of a cruel/awesome April Fool.
I assume it means Smiff is going to be a dad.
Congratulations?
.....
.....
Yeah, Smiffy has forgot the date
.....
Just send her back the photo that John posted in the fuck you off thread last night.
It would have been great if she actually was pregnant and Niko just made you drop yourself in it.
Also, what the fuck is your first response there all about, Smiff?
A message probably isn't appropriate in that context if you could add 'Fuck you' to the start of it without changing the tone at all.
.....
Good Guy Smiffy sticking by his imaginary kid.
The lights have just flickered and then I heard a low rumble over the city, which seems to have happened across greater Belfast. It's probably a sub-station.
Ghostquake.
My light flickered here a few minutes ago as well.
Oh.
Hopefully it's blown up of its own accord rather than because it's a bomb.
Like a normal power station explosion or a proper Belfast type explosion?
Don't know yet.
You'd imagine with it being a power station then it's something just gone wrong. Hopefully so.
Nah, hopefully it's the Troubles starting again. I might get some PhD funding if there's renewed interest.
I think this is the first time that Boydy's put a positive spin on something. Someone mark it in the TTH diary for posterity's sake.
Paul Maskey has tweeted it was hit by lightning. Though he would say that wouldn't he.

Fair enough, mate.
It's comforting to know if he hadn't done it plenty of others would have.
Get fucked, Saint. Peace be upon him.
Someone should draw a cartoon of Mo with a big peace sign upon him.
We really need an Al0n style picture of Mo wanking over a picture of Allah shagging a kid on a PC screen.
There are few things we need less than that.

Tell me more.
The world seems to losing its shit over some injection about celebrities doing the dirt.
It's an injunction and it's Elton.

What the fuck? Why are they so far behind? I had no idea about this before reading the article. What an absolute disgrace.
I thought I was reading an article about Sri Lanka for a moment.Fatal foetal abnormalities, rape and incest are not circumstances in which abortions can be performed legally.
Because our biggest party are a bunch of fundamentalist Christians.
That wasn't the case until the St Andrews agreement, and you had almost forty years between the passing of the 1967 Abortion Act and that agreement.
As is alluded to in the article, Northern Ireland remains a (relatively) Christian country, particularly outside Belfast. There has also been no political will whatsoever to effect change in the legislation - I suspect because there are far more people who feel strongly that the current status quo should continue than there are people who feel strongly that it should change.
Finally, as Boydy suggests, we're now in a position where our biggest party have a significant number of fundamentalist Christians. It's a devolved responsibility, so I can't see any scenario in the next few years which would produce circumstances conducive to changing the legislation.
Was there not a poll on it recently that showed the majority were in favour of a change or am I getting it mixed up with gay marriage?
From the BBC article:
The problem is, the majority are going to vote for candidates who aren't interested in changing the law - so it's a largely irrelevant statistic in that context.When the Department for Justice in Northern Ireland conducted a consultation on abortion law in 2014, there were 712 individually written responses and 579 of those opposed change with 133 supporting change. A poll by Millward Brown for Amnesty International in 2014 suggested that 69% thought abortion should be legally available in the case of rape, 68% believed it should be in the case of incest and 60% thought it should be where there was a fatal abnormality in the foetus.
Not a bad idea.
'Dumpers' sound like something Magic goes looking for on Liveleak.
