    Religion/politics wasn't much of a barrier in Derry. Soccer was far more popular than Gaelic football when I lived there. Cricket was a mixed sport, played mainly in the Waterside. A friend of mine from Ardmore was equally enthusiastic about Gaelic and cricket. McGuinness's brother, Tom, played soccer for Finn Harps and was also a Derry county GAA player.

    Finally makes sense - back in the day I had a beard and jacket like that - no wonder I was always pulled over at Stranraer!

    Ha! Why do us men have such dirty minds? It must be true that many of us think of sex on average at least once every 30 seconds.
    She was married to a friend of a friend, as it happens, and it didn't get any more intimate than a cup of tea in her house.
