What a load of BS, as I keep telling people here who ask questions like "was it really bad living in the troubles and getting shot at all the time?" for the most part life was good.

There is more to N.Ireland than Belfast and there is more to Belfast than small areas that dominate the news to give the world the sick view of N.Ireland most want to report.

I have never been shot at nor seen a bomb go off never personally witnessed a riot or any sectarian BS or lost a member of my family due to any involvement with terrorists groups nor paid a single penny to any magasines or flags in my 40 years in N.Ireland and I live 10 miles from Belfast. Put simply I followed my G.parents example and shunned those who got involved in any of that rubbish
