It happened, Ted.

I've had shit like that thrown at me too...
I've had my share of strange squaddie types since the Ceasefire telling me they've been over here.

Hell, if its going to be a topic of conversation, why make it one way, I always say.

The north of Ireland Nationalist gets told information like that which my friend (and I on ocassion) was privvy to.

Whether it be genuine ignorance on the part of the ex-squaddie, or genuine hostility, it should make no matter.

What kind of good conversations start when the topic is 'I did a couple of tours there', as opposed to 'How do you fancy Chelsea'a chances this season'

I actually can't believe that you don't believe a word of that last post of mine, ted.

Craic like that happens all the time...
