Was replying to Blue Matt about his house mates wanting to kill each other under different circumstances.

I knew where you were going with it, just making the point about Goram plus I was being a bit of a knob about it.

I chatted to them both about it a lot ( both together and separately ) as it fascinated me as I was only young at the time and knew of the NI situation but never knew what it was truly like ) and it was just the way it was, it was so natural to them, when chatting to them they could hear how crazy it was, but knew when they went back home it would be back to hating the other side, different times back the I guess

That's fascinating! Which warzone was it and what coup did you witness?

This deserves a thread of it's own.

I was listening on the radio that day whilst furniture shopping (no idea why that match was on in the Midlands, in a shop and loud enough to hear). City seemed to score every few minutes and it was 7 nil by the time we got home.

Say what you like about Gorams dodgy political connections but having Andy Campbell score a hat trick against you is definitely criminal
