Another Challenge For FunkyDerek...................

hillary_step

We are experiencing yet another partial eclipse here in West Canada, can you please check to see if Ian Paisley has not hung his wifes knickers on the line again and if so remove them as soon as possible. Some of us need the sun to live. Bloody Bush hating Europeans.

Thanks Derek - HS

who the eff is Ian Paisley

Frog

I googled 'Ian Paisley' and this is what I found...I'm guessing if you're Canadian, it needs no explaining?!

The 'Rev.' Ian Paisley is a Member of the British and European Parliaments. He is the founder and only head of the Free Presbyterian Church, which has a fundamentalist Christian perspective on most issues. It has 49 Churches in British Occupied Ireland and 10 abroad. While no priest has ever been elected to government office in the 26 Counties, even though Paisley claims the Republic is controlled by the Roman Catholic Church, Protestant ministers, including Mr. Paisley, have always been prominent in the electoral politics of the North, "a Protestant State for a Protestant People." Ian Paisley is the head of the Democratic Unionist Party.

Well, I know who Ian Paisley is, but I connect him more with England than I would with Ireland, where FunkyDerek is.

lol. Is Mrs Paisley a woman of substantial proportions then?

I like the idea of a daily "challenge Derek" thread.

Ian Paisley was born and brought up in Ireland. He is Irish. He is unpopular in Ireland because of his loud insistence that he is in fact British, which clearly he is not. He is also hated for being a loudmouthed fundamentalist bigot. And a terrorist.
