Come to destroy what? The DUP are quite happily doing it all by themselves.

Wait a moment. Is that Paul the Octopus? I wondered what they did with him after the 2008 world cup.

Funny on these islands. On Fuertaventura yesterday it was 31c and lovely. But dropped to 23c in the evening and everything was covered in condensation.

Was 35c today but dropped suddenly to 24 at 7;00 as we drove to the ferry home.
But my pal said it was only 31c here today, but it's still 27c right .

We were only 80 miles away.
