• Clear the decks as the good ship Stormont heads for the shallows
We are rapidly reaching another watershed in the peace process not helped by the prospect of a general election. As the ballot boxes loom in 2010, Stormont's main parties retreat into their shells.
• Be careful what you step on for that cockroach might just be me
I am fond of animals, though I wouldn't like to be one. Most religions offer varieties of punishment to sinners.
• Fisk: Dubai may soon become a satellite of India

• Banks still call the shots as the rest of us are left to foot the bill
I hear rumours that The Financial Times is about to change its name to the Financial Crimes.
