I hadn't realised that following my last comment on this thread there was no addition for over six months and then another gap of the best part of year before it was poked into life once more. Maybe I should try it again -


To all the shitstirrers out there - Why don't you just put a sock in it and, in Lennons words, give peace a chance?

Or, maybe better still, from a wonderful man and songwriter from that troubled province -

Well there were investigations,
Five minutes on the news
And the mass card wore a picture of John's face
There was outrage; two letters in the paper
And both sides of the fence;
They sensed disgrace
And sure enough there were elections
Familiar cowboys tried to steal the show
Men spoke of changing attitudes,
While thirteen tired platitudes
Pushed hope and John's lorry off the road.

(From 'Irish Eyes'. Anthony John Clarke, 1993)
