I was watching a show on BBC about NI, the reporter said there were more miles of walls in Belfast than berlin during the cold war. I don't know if it's true i can well believe it.
I sometimes wonder if we could drop certain parts of NI in the middle east. I think some of them would be more at home, it's less than an hours flight but still a very different place from the rest of the uk. May as well be on another planet at times.
