Wee dog loses in pissing competition!

Contrary to an anonymous blogger, neither myself or Dermott Henderson are students at UUB, nor do I live in Belfast. Sure we won't let facts get in the way of a good story.

So said Colm 'bigdog' O'Connor a member of Belfastderry branch of the SDLP.

If the only criticism I receive during this election is that I want a University education then we're flying!

So Said Dermot 'haircut' Henderson a member of Belfastderry branch of the SDLP.

Oh Golly Gosh!

Recently I pointed out that 2 SDLP candidates for Derry in the local elections are students in Belfast. I questioned if elected unless they have developed teleportation technology then how will they actively represent their constituents? After all they wont be based in the city, just 80 miles away.

But today I got a message from the interweb, that Colm is waffling online that he and Dermy are not students at UUB (University of Ulster Belfast).

'Neither myself or Dermott henderson are students at UUB'

Where's the criticism?

I suppose if you're one of Colm's potential constituents and you need him in a hurry you can always leave a message from him at the Speakeasy, one of the bars at Queens University of Ulster Students Union in Belfast where neither him or Dermy are students, but are known to frequent. 

Here's the number Tel: 90 973726 

The Speakeasy at Queens UUB

And if you're one of Dermy's potential constituents and you need him at 2.20am here's the number for Queens University of Ulster Belfast Library where neither him or Colly are Students. Tel: 90 245133

And here's some links to some of the Derry Journal articles which state that both Dermy & Colly are students in, Oh Golly Gosh -BELFAST!

Now, here's the thing, no one criticised anyone for anyone wanting a University eduction, I applaud anyone who stays the course in education, it's a hard slog, but at the end, it's well worth it. Been there done that and have hairs on my ass older than these two.

But if it deflects from the fact that both Dermy & Colly now seem to be contradicting the coverage they had in the papers maybe they could both issue a statement saying that the Derry Journal articles were false?

After all I wouldn't want the facts getting in the way of a good story!
