You gotta love that hat though..

G'wan the Big Man!!

See? I told you he was a great fella altogether!!
It seems he & the boul' Gerry have sorted everything out. They're ready to play together at last..

..except Ian needs another six weeks...

..to eat about sixty years worth of words..!!

Jeffrey Donaldson is a great fella altogether.

But once upon a time Jeffrey was in a different party. Jeffrey wanted to be their leader. Jeffrey had a very old friend who used to be their leader. Jeffrey's very old friend told him he should be leader. But when it came to the bit, Jeffrey just couldn't stand up and say he wanted to be the leader. This made Jeffrey very sad. So he ran away.

Jeffrey is in a new party now with lots of new friends. Jeffrey is a little man. Jeffrey would like to be a big man. Unfortunately, in his new party there is already one Big Man.

Poor little Jeffrey.

Ian Paisley Sr. is a great fella altogether.

Ian loves the Bible. Ian wants to be older than anybody in the bible. He is now 134 years old.

He wants to be the next High King of Ulster. Or First Minister. Unfortunately he has a peculiar form of Tourettes called Tour(of the North)ettes. It has led to him saying no quite a lot.

Despite this crippling condition, he wants to enter the Big Bother House in Dundonald. He is tipped to be this year's winner.

John O'Dowd is a great fella altogether. John is standing in Upper Bann, the natural home of the much-lesser spotted Trimble (which seems to have gone the way of the corncrake these days).

John unfortunately doesn't like civil servants. John wants to put manners in them.

I suspect a lot of Civil Servants would like to put their toe in John..

Bob McCartney is a great fella altogether. well coiffed and immaculately turned out.

Unfortunately for Bob some of his playmates left his gang. Unperturbed by this, Bob carried on. Because Bob has ego. Bob has a lot of ego. Bob has enough ego to fill six whole Bobs!

Multibob has gone forth and multiplied. And the Six Bob Bit(ch) is out for votes.

For those that don't know there is an election in Northern Ireland.

Same old voting patterns, same old rhetoric, same old faces.

Here is a picture guide of some of the cast.
