Bluetooth disease

Mark Devenport | 12:49 UK time, Monday, 1 October 2007

There's been an outbreak of "foot in mouth" disease at Stormont as MLAs struggle to get their tongues around the veterinary terms concerning the latest animal diseases to afflict GB. Sinn Fein's Francie Molloy referred to "blue tooth disease" which appears to be a new hi-tec strain of the condition now blighting English cows. The Ulster Unionist Danny Kennedy paid tribute to Agriculture Minister Michelle Gildernew's ability to get her teeth around the term when she fails to pronounce the words "Northern Ireland". Ms Gildernew came back by asking if Mr Kennedy was suggesting that she was suffering from "greentongue disease".
