As I was being forced to endure an episode of 'The Handmaid's Tale' with my wife last

[Burney]

Oh, now he is suddenly Irish

You blame me for 800 years of oppression dont you. Go on, admit it!

Not at all. Anyone in their right mind who's met an Irishman would want to oppress him. As I said, dreadful people.

I would never question your right to hate your own kind. Why do you have such a problem with me despising Britain and wanting the worst for it?

Self-loathing is clearly not an alien concept to you.....

[Luis Anaconda]

I suggest you listen to Iron Maiden's classic 'Run To The Hills'.....

Great song

Buggers didn't play it live when I saw them though. Only song I knew as well *


*not quite true, still an amazing gig

Is that the one about murdering American Indians?

You know what the American Indians were actually like, right? I suggest you read 'Empire Of The Summer Moon' about the Comanches in Texas and ask yourself how you might have gone about handling that bunch of pitiless, psychopathic, torturing, murdering mass rapists.

See, I would be pretty angry if I saw them and they didnt play that. It just isnt fair.

Are you suggesting that I cannot trust the word of Iron Maiden on historical matters?

The key here is that I'm English of Irish heritage,am very grateful to live this side of the Irish Sea and love England. You, on the other hand, are English, live here, were raised here, benefit from everything this country offers and still despise this country.

Perhaps it's the fact that because my parents came from somewhere much worse, I know how lucky I am and you - being of purely English stock - don't know how lucky you are not to have come from somewhere else.

'What do they know of England, who only England know?' and all that.

Yes, we know you have very precise requirements when you see a gig, p.

You like Greatest Hits albums, don't you?

I fear not. Bruce Dickinson is notoriously poor at citing his sources.
