Bin out. Now in the pub. Is that non-political enough?

We lived in a very loyalist area of Norn Iron
The Bull has a S Ireland accent
So double glazed windows lasted 48 hours before being smashed again and car windows were fair game too
I couldn’t walk to the butcher’s 50 yards away without being spat on and kicked or thumped
This was after peace supposedly broke out

Ah, the Dunnock. I learned summat today: that Manx for Hedge Sparrow is boght keeir. Not all that interesting in itself, but a literal translation of boght keeir would be ‘dark grey poor bird’.
Aww!

We were lucky in being able to leave and buy a house in a very quiet place in the south west
And the knowledge that nobody here will try to hurt us came slowly but now we have it and feel joy in our efforts to make our house work for us

Well I would have said so, yes. But that is the name.
Some of the other names wot I have learned (well I’ll soon forget, but…) are much better descriptions. I particularly like ‘Swallow - Gollan geayee (Wind fork)’, ‘Goldfinch - Lossey ny Keylley (Flame of the forest)’ and Peregrine - ‘Shirragh yn Ree (Sharp hook of the king)’.

Prolly. I only recently left. And am eating crisps on a train in defiance of our betters and in the hope of magically making the younger generation fatter. Calories consumed on public transport are transferable, apparently.

'M’ome. Eating a cheese sandwich that I managed to forget all day, and which would not have been happy if left overnight. Bed. Marching is surprisingly more tiring than dog-walking.

You can’t be too careful, thass wot I slur…
You would have to have brought your own. Just because X00,000 people and I happen to agree about one monumentally stupid thing doesn’t mean I love them or wish them well. Mostly quite the reverse, I assure you.
And you can now go to bed secure in the knowledge that All Is Normal
Sleep well, wee Bee

Humans are dimmer on the whole, and far less interesting, than DDD, And she didn’t get walked on London pavements and you could stride out properly and so on. So, not surprising. Worthwhile, though.
Sleep well, Fishy.
