My Mum is a Proddy from Belfast and my Dad is Catholic who served over there in the British army. Some of the stories they tell about life over there in the early 70s are eye openers. When you think what life was like for us over here when we were their age. My Grandad knew Paisley quite well, so when he heard a rumour she was seeing a Catholic boy (before meeting my Dad who he never found out that he was Catholic) he had him come round to give her a good bollocking at home.

Aye, apparently he bellowed into her face "No good will come of it, do you want your children to be Papish!" I don't think I'd ever seen or heard the word "Papish" before hearing that story, or indeed afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Episode 2 of The Troubles. Pretty much summed up by casino’s comment. Interesting how the IRA in the North took control away from those in the South. Those fighting for a united Ireland taken over by those with a “fuck the British” attitude is the way that I’m reading it. McGuiness and Adams not coming out well so far (unsurprisingly) but British government appears to have been weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the proposed series the same creator is doing about the early years of the SAS doesn't go the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
