My middle name is Zapata

Working class people don’t have middle names! :-)

They've got you talking about them. What they do is for attention...it brings their cause to the public. Many people will moan about it, but they're successful in getting us to talk about it. And it's bullshit that they don't want you or I to use oil or whatever we have...they're campaigning for no NEW fossil fuel. It's for the future.

I read that like you took my post as a serious critique, I know exactly why they target what they do and what their aims are, the reactions for every stunt are comical, and as ridiculous as what they target.

No one is seriously affected from what they do so the outrage is silly at times

Though on cornflour, as a chef I can tell you that shit stodges up, will wash away with rain pfft! in another 2000 years maybe

Exactly.
And I've done my family history on both the Protestant and Catholic sides as far back as I can get (about 200 years or so) and the Proddy lot also have middle names. More often than not actually.

Since when?

I assumed someone as canny as you would realise I wasn’t actually being serious!

I did wonder, but I'm getting old now ;-)

Aren’t we all?

My father, my father’s father and his father in turn (all working class) all have/had the same first two names.

So I’d be seriously daft to believe that!

Jesus, at least mine mixed it up a bit. They did the traditional Irish naming sequence
No imagination your lot ;-)
