    Titanic memories of Cyril, 105

    A BELFAST man who has just celebrated his 105th birthday may be the last surviving person to have witnessed the launch of the Titanic in 1911.

    “Eat plenty of chocolate,” he laughed when asked for the recipe to his longevity,

    He also enjoys whiskey and used to be known as “Mr Black Bush”.

    “I don’t know how I came to be 105.

    “The years passed me by. One thing annoys me – all the friends I made, the accomplices, they’re all gone.”

    What's with the unionist obsession with the Titanic. It sailed and sank. Get over it!

    Yawn. Seriously, why does unionism celebrate the Titanic as such a great thing? I doubt very much the Italians will be celebrating the sinking of the Costa Concordia.

    I'll take it he was in the RUC or some other such murderous paramilitary organisation then.
