He did it his way

Mark Devenport | 15:26 UK time, Monday, 5 July 2010

As the new MP for Strangford the gun toting Ulster Scots speaking Jim Shannon isn't bidding farewell to this blog - I am sure he will feature regularly even though he "oot and aboot". However there was an emotional note to his final written Stormont questions. Mr Shannon accompanied them with a pastiche on "My Way", along the following lines:

"And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've questioned 'til my quota's full
Ive asked each and ev'ry weekday
And more, much more than this, I questioned my way"

Not to be outdone Assembly officials responded with an Abba-esque reply:

"Thank you for the questions
Those sacred questions
Those endless questions
You gave us...

I'm thinking of the questions
I wouldn't change a single one;
Believe me"
