Our Wonderful Royal Family

[Theland]

Just watched Sarah Ferguson, Duchess Of York on the One Show.
She looks really well and pretty for 57.
I think the Royal family should be a bit more inclusive and bring her back into the fold.
God Save The Queen.

If we don't put it behind us we condemn ourselves to stew in bitterness, relive old wrongs, make ourselves prisoners of hate.

[Theland]

Kcal - eh? What? Need to understand.

[ummmm]

NI is part of Britain.

[Jackdaw33]

No it is not, it's part of the UK.

[Tashi]

kvalidir, you would have to talk to Baldric about that, I was not there.

[Theland]

Venga- what is your obvious interest in N. I?
Mine is, I married a Belfast girl.
So enlighten me?

[kvalidir]

I know Tashi, neither was I, but my father was. He's from a Lower Falls Road Republican family and EVERYONE lost someone and then got stirred up to avenge them. that's why this went on for as long as it did. All I'm suggesting to you, my father, Baldric everyone on the planet is that we can't hang on to what went before or we simply leave ourselves to repeat it all over again, and there has been enough killing surely, certainly my father thinks so? I don't think either you or I need to have been there to see that, at least I hope not. x

I didn't say 'forgive and forget'. There were terrible things done by all sides.
We need not to dwell on the hurts of the past but look towards a peaceful future.

[Tashi]

I think it was just a reaction to the Poster at 2045, who can be a bit of a 'wind up' at times.

[sandyRoe]

This thread has drifted a long way from toe sucking royals

[kvalidir]

But that happened on both sides Venga. Patrick Rooney was a little boy asleep in bed when he was killed by heavy machine gun fire by the British- how do you think his mother felt? Exactly the same as you I bet, so lets just stop it, no?

[Jackdaw33]

I echo sandyRoe @ 21:18. I was just about to post the same myself.

[sandyRoe]

Republican revisionists are better able than me to defend their version of history. Not that I'd want to. But were there not outrages committed by all sides?
My post at 8.45 was probably too succinct. I've since tried to explain what I meant more fully.

[Theland]

Venga - I understand. Sadly.
