Derry driver Devine leading the way with solid Ulster Rally lead
Derry's Callum Devine (Skoda Fabia RS Rally2) leads the way in the Newry-based Modern Tyres Ulster Rally, the penultimate round of the NAPA Auto Parts Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. At the end of Friday's opening leg of six stages he holds a 12.9-second lead over Donegal's Declan Boyle, also in a Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 with Welsh driver Osian Pryce (Hyundai i20 Rally2) 15.9 seconds further behind in third. Stating his preference for the opening stage rather than the remaining two stages of the loop, it wasn't surprising that Devine took a 9.2s lead on the first pass through the Slieve Roe stage to the north of Rostrevor. Boyle was next followed by Welsh ace Pryce, who was 6.3s further behind in third with Michael Boyle's Skoda Fabia another 2.5s behind. Pryce was best on SS2 (Camlough) where Michael Boyle's rally ended when he had an excursion that ripped two wheels from his Skoda Fabia. Out on SS3 Slieve Gullion, Declan Boyle became the third driver in as many stages to post the fastest stage time as the crews returned to the well-appointed service park at the Modern Tyres complex. There, Devine, who led Declan Boyle by just 3.9s reflected on his position. "All's good," he said. "I enjoyed the first stage but then the other two were extremely tough, especially with the jumps, it was a case of managing my pace. I'm concentrating on the championship, that is my target, That first stage, you need to be so committed to be on it and I'm looking forward to going out on it again for SS4, as for the other two, it's all about finishing them." Meanwhile, second placed Declan Boyle was happy with his pace while Pryce, on what was his first outing in some 12 months said: "I am trying to get the feeling with the car and the way I like it. It's a new car for me, new co-driver (Andy Hayes) and new team, a lot to learn." Pryce was 10.9s off top spot and 23.4 ahead of the VW Polo GTi R5 of an untroubled Darren Gass with Matthew Boyle (Ford Fiesta Rally2) in fifth. Donegal's Kevin Eves (Ford Fiesta Rally2) completed the top six. Extending his lead to 8.1s on the repeat of Slieve Rue, Devine stayed out of trouble and signed off with the best time on SS6 to lead by 12.9s. Boyle continued to punch in strong times as Pryce, who won the night's penultimate stage, reckoned some of the changes worked. An impressive performance saw Matthew Boyle (Ford Fiesta Rally2) slot into fourth from fellow Donegal driver Eves in a similar car with British driver Mark Kelly (VW Polo GTi R5) on his maiden Ulster Rally outing completing the top six. Unfortunately, Armagh's Gass, who injured three ribs in a workplace accident during the week, was forced to retire at the end of SS4 as the landings over the crests was causing him further discomfort. Laois driver Aidan Bourke (Ford Escort) leads the Modified category. There are six stages in Saturday's second and final leg.

I moved flats & my passive aggressive neighbour's response to my parking is out of hand – people say she's ‘entitled'
People had a few different theories regarding the notes TAKE NOTE I moved flats & my passive aggressive neighbour's response to my parking is out of hand – people say she's 'entitled' A WAR between two neighbours kicked off after one left a series of passive aggressive notes on the other's car. The driver, who recently moved into the new flat, was left scratching her head when she discovered the Post-it notes on her vehicle. 2 The notes left the driver scratching her head Credit: Reddit 2 It turned out it was the pesky neighbour who was in the wrong Credit: Getty Advertisement The first of the series of notes boldly said: "RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBOUR. Stop parking in their paid, assigned spot. It's just rude!" But the driver decided not to move her car, since she was sure she was in fact in the correct space. That's when the mystery neighbour began leaving more notes. "I've tried to be kind but you ignored my note," the second said. Advertisement "You could've been towed a week ago. PLEASE let me park in the spot I've had for years. THX [sic]." And the neighbour continued their tirade with the next note, which read: "NOT YOUR SPOT PLEASE STOP taking it! THANK YOU." "I PAY FOR THIS SPOT and would like to use it. Please and thank you," they added in a fourth. After sharing the notes on Reddit, the driver decided to check with the real estate office to see if they were in the wrong or not. Advertisement But they confirmed she was parking in the right space, which was allocated to her flat. They explained: "I took their notes off and placed a note on my own windshield saying something to the effect of 'I checked with the office and this is my spot. You should check with them too.'" Major New Driving Laws for Summer & Fall 2025: What You Need to Know After leaving the note they noticed it had vanished from their neighbour's car, and no new notes appeared. At this point, fellow Reddit users were left baffled as to why the neighbour thought the spot was theirs. The consensus was that the neighbour must've been parking in the wrong space for years and either didn't realise or forgot about it. Advertisement "If I was wrong and did this, I would be so embarrassed and offer up an apology and probably a gift," one person commented on the viral post. "The irony of being mad someone took the spot that you've actually been the one stealing," a second added. But not everyone was convinced it was such an honest mistake - even if the notes were slightly passive aggressive. Some thought the neighbour knew the space wasn't theirs, but since they'd been in it so long they didn't want to leave. "They just feel entitled to this spot even though it isn't assigned to them," one said. Advertisement "Seems like someone just parked there for free since the complex hadn't sold it. "Now they're sad to see it go and were hoping that you were parking there for free, too," another mused.
