I think its a bit silly asking the Irish to say nice things about us. Like Big Mick says after all the shit that's gone down over the last 600 or so years - well its a bit like going to Tel Aviv and asking folks to say something nice about the SS........great uniforms, you always knew where you were with them, etc

Fairport convention, mustard, you always know where you are with mustard,...ho hum

what would be really good was if the two sets of Irishmen could say nice things about each other.

If the loyalists could say about the Nationalists and vice versa, well the other guy has a point about somethings and I'm sure we can reach a compromise.
To be fair I suppose this is exactly what happens in town councils all over Ireland, but you'd never guess it from the tone of the exchanges on this site.
