Subject: RE: BS: Northern Ireland Mess
Belfast, surely you know that the phrase "Roman Catholics" is displeasing to a lot of Catholics.

Ah well, sucked back into this thread by the need to apologise. My friends from a Catholic background assure me that they would take no offense (they have been called worse) but that some might. So I make a small apology.   

I suspect that our guest, with his use of the verb "to sleg", knows somewhat more about life here than he would pretend. But still, a straight question deserves a straight answer.

My agenda. I am an atheist (hardline, dyed-in-the-wool) and a socialist (hardline, dyed-in-the-wool). And yet I once managed to achieve a remarkable unanimity of opinion from a couple of friends, one Protestant and one Catholic. They both agreed that I would probably burn in hell for eternity.
