Hi Guys - On a bit of a break from the course I am on and waiting to go for a couple of pints of black stuff:-)

I didn't realise I was the only one to 'challenge the answer' as Keith put it. Perhaps it is an English thing. You need to be English to fully understand the question?;-)

There does seem to be a lot of bigotry towards Keith. Perhaps I am missing something that seems to indicate he deserves it but on this thread I have not spotted it. There is also, undoubtably, lots of bad feeling and lots of reasons for those bad feelings. It is pretty useless quoting statistics about how many people were killed by who. At the end of the day these were all terrible acts of violence that should never be repeated by anyone.

I would like to use this thread to draw a line. I know it will never happen but wouldn't it be something both side forgave each other for their sins and both sides apolgised for their own wrongs. Either real or perceived?

Why not start the movement here? For any wrongs I have written about the Irish troubles. I'm sorry. To anyone who has upset me about the same. Forget it. It's water under the bridge.

Now the. Hows about it? Keith? Ard? Gerry Adams has already done it. I guess we are just waiting for Ian Paisley?

Ah, well. I suppose you are right. May as well get to that bar...

Peace.
