I'm as Irish as is possible.



Dick - Belfast is a beautiful city, I love it myself, but when you meet people who come from there a little needling will often reveal a LOT of scar tissue.

I won't ention names, but there was a world championship kickboxing tournament in my town recently (in the lovely west btw.)
I have a close friend from Belfast who blatantly refused to attend.
I was curious as to why and it turns out one of the fighters on the bill was an ex "Catholic Killer."
Belfast is an large city in context, but when its divided into factions, as it still is, confrontation and discrimination is pretty rife. I'm not surprised a Catholic lady wouldn't want to speak about it
