For someone who has lived in the UK, albeit on a US army base you have a frighteningly naive grasp of exactly what the IRA did to civillians. The people of Northern Ireland and of mainland Britain were terrorised by the IRA. Does this not give you pause for thought?
If you met a person from, lets say Norway who said in passing that he had met an on the run member of Al Queda...and that this person was a jolly nice bloke, what would your reaction be?

I have no idea. I like British things, like Benny Hill, Lipton Tea and Beef Wellington. I have been to your country and find the place quaint and cute. Why do you persist on drinking beer warm though?

This is clearly a touchy subject and since there are no Irish here, I'm staying off the subject from now on.

FFS - How many times do I have to say it - I don't have to create a secret alter-ego to wind people up - I just do what comes naturally to me.

You see... this really is a wind up. Yeah, I like American things too - like hot dogs, and McDonalds and erm... well, that's about it!

I have been to your country and find the place quaint and cute.
Yep - I've been to yours too and find the place really warm and cosy, but unfortunately it has a lot of dumb people like you there

Why do you persist on drinking beer warm though?
Coz we are a very warm people

Question for you... why do you persist on keeping that long pole stuck up your [backside] ?

Well count me out too. I've read every post and am disgusted. Too angry to post anything. Go get him Joisey.

I for one object to your atatement that we were "terrorised' by the IRA. I don't recall any of the over reaction experienced here after 9/11 and as I recall our alert level was only ever raised to "slightly miffed".
