Update on Iris Robinson and Kirk McCambley, some original photos
by McKenzie on January 10, 2010
in McKenzie Friend Comment, Northern Ireland Family Law
Thought I would go and visit the Lockkeepers Inn today in Belfast to see if I could catch a glimpse of Kirk McCambley and sample some of his
Iris Irish Stew.We got fresh Belfast baps with our stew, but the table behind us got two withered dried up baps.
Business was so good in the soft drink department I had to take a latte, as there was no Fanta to be had anywhere. Someone suggested that it was because it was orange and goes down well with teenagers?

Enough of the satire and far from original jokes…
Kirk McCambley was there in all his glory, jeans hanging off his slim figure and mucking in on the barista side of the business. He shot me a rather sheepish look and I gave him a sympathetic look back, an older man to a young turk, feeling his embarrassment that he was in a media snowball.
Having scoped him out for about 20 mins it’s hard to believe that he took the lead in any of this. Just doesn’t seem the type. During the time I was there, a goose got in to the cafe and he had to get someone else to chase it out. A couple I spoke to who said they were regular customers opined that Kirk was ’sound’.
The Lockkeepers Inn was packed to the rafters. That isn’t really that hard as it’s quite small inside. On a business front I would say it would be quite hard to turn a profit on that site with the limited space available. Rent would need to be quite low I would guess?

Overheard a conversation that questioned how a complete novice like Kirk McCambley could make a success of a low footfall business in such a difficult sector. My sources tell me that he did the Start a Business Programme at East Belfast Enterprise so he wasn’t a total virgin business novice.
If any lazy or time poor journalists want to use these photos they can use them ONE TIME only if they donate £50 per photo to Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke, Charity Reg No XN 47338, Company No NI 18889, and mail me at help@mckenziefriend.com Otherwise I will pursue you through the courts for breach of copyright, and it will cost you a shedful of dosh, and I will give it to charity.
