and I couldn't agree more with your last point.

Yes I know Urban, don't worry, you're the most honest person on this forum. That is mostly a good thing.

I don't know how many bombs actually went off, but I remember hearing about some of it and my parents being horrified. I am the same age as you as well. The weird part is apparently the IRA gave warnings before each bombing. I don't fully understand the situation, but it was ****ed up. It was a ****ty time to be Irish in England as well, some of my mates grew up in England when it was happening and had to leave.
