    My Granda worked in the Shipyard as a blacksmith's apprentice. Never got any further than that because of being a Catholic. The bad old days, eh...

      At least people believed in things back then... Even death was easier for people to face.. now people starve on the streets instead of being hung or killed in some way for the crimes they commit

      That was a Saturday afternoon five and a half days work, maybe the reason part of it is a museum is because they can get cheap Chinese labour now?

      The docks didn’t allow non prods in the work force, a failed shitty little statelet, fuck all to celebrate after 100 years. Michael D was right not to go.
