So Did They Shake Hands?
It's had the feeling of the morning after the night before at Stormont. No debris strewn about the place but plenty of people shaking themselves and wondering whether yesterday really happened. The DUP MPs are all over in Westminster, but the soon to be former First Minister is still striding around the place, performing a non speaking role for the cameras.
He attended a meeting of the snappily named OFMDFM Committee alongside Martin McGuinness,just back from Dubai. Taking questions on the Victims Commissioners' appointments and the Maze the two men would have made essential viewing if the session had not been behind closed doors. Sources say the appearance was businesslike with occasional "lighter moments". I don't know whether that qualifies as a final chuckle.
Martin McGuinness appeared later sans Paisley to pay another glowing tribute. He was asked if - contrary to previous assertions by the DUP leader - the two men had shaken hands. The Deputy First Minister took the fifth, refusing point blank to answer the question, but adding that he would stand by any answer Dr Paisley cares to provide.

My money is on that the Chuckle Brothers did shake hands. It is obvious from the Deputy. How will OFMDFM manage without the chuckle brothers? OFMDFM and us the public will have to make way for the terrible twins.
