I remember going to a pub down near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge a year ago and reading an item in a Irish newspaper about the "Marching season."

The thing that struck me was a passage where it discussed who would be providing security for the peaceful counter-demonstrations among Roman Catholics.

It was supposedly members of the IRA.

Is it just me, or does that sound like an extraordinarily odd way of keeping the peace?

The logic is arseways when it comes to Northern Ireland, especially with Blair and Ahern around!

The logic was a bit arseways with some the posters on this thread tonight LOL!!
