Yet again a thread started about Northern Ireland. Yet again people who should know better get dragged into trading wearying flame wars with other Northern Irish people. When some dunkle like Fiolar starts such a thread - knowing full well that it will kick off a full-scale shit-slinging episode - those of us from the sick counties ought not to get drawn in. By the way ... have you noticed how he starts this shit and then fucks off? I think we ought to keep this shit to ourselves and not allow sanctimonious Home Counties know-it-alls to get their oars in.

I know that there are some who find riding this out very dificult. But this slanging match is completely sterile and I'll bet there's loads of yanks and brits laughing their bollocks off at us!
