I have still been reading your blog though. <br /><br />I can't put my finger on what's wrong with United. It's like they are copying Liverpool and Chelsea and not wanting to play for their manager. I noticed the fans showing sarcasm on Saturday. Most United fans I speak to are not happy with the style of play. northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-61396977830620908902016-01-13T02:32:46.071-07:002016-01-13T02:32:46.071-07:00Thanks for that Heron.

There doesn't (been looking it up on the Internet) seem to much evidence of any Roman archaeology in Ireland and I don't think they made it to Scotland.

You never hear them say: English.<br /><br />Think you are right about the apathy to celebrating marked events. April 23 is St Georges day and Shakespeare's birthday.
