Shaken or stirred?

I linked back to a great idea on Phil Murphy's site some time ago. All manner of politicians and institutions can be grouped into one of two categories - Shaken or Stirred? As a starter, he produces his own list:

Stirred..................................................Shaken

Tony Blair................................................Neil Kinnock
Ronald Reagan..........................................Lyndon Johnson
Martin Luther King...................................Jesse Jackson
Malcolm X.................................................Louis Farrakan
Judaism....................................................Islam
Virgin Atlantic............................................Swissair
Thomas the Tank Engine............................Teletubbies
Rolling Stones...........................................Beatles
Linux........................................................Windows
Britain.......................................................Europe
The Jackson 5...........................................Michael Jackson
Lesley Gore..............................................Gore Vidal
The Blogesphere.......................................The Guardian

It would be interesting to hear how you might see this within a Northern Ireland context.

For instance,

Peter Robinson......................................David Trimble
Republicanism.......................................Nationalism
etc...

To let us have your ideas, just hit Comments.

Update:

Derry....................................................Londonderry (Pooka!)
LVF......................................................RIRA (Emily)
