Wow, I know this Ian Paisley guy referenced at bottom of article. He's (was) a polarizing figure in Trump's mom's church. Now I need to check this out. I know a minister who was tutored by him, the minister is solid though, I know him very well. He turned against Paisley. This is all so freaky.
Yes, not in the states so much, and not outside of religious circles so much. Probably. I've forgotten a lot about what I was exposed to about him when I was over there. But several people that I'm sill in touch with know him personally. What do you think or know about him? If you don't mind. How is he perceived? To many he's a solid conservative protestant. But a bit of a celeb? Very polarizing figure in that particular denomination. Dead now, son is still around but I don't know much about the son. Did you get a chance to read some of the article?
I live in the west of Scotland so not sure if you're aware we're quite closely tied to Northern Ireland politics. From the Catholic point of view he's regarded as a real Protestant extremist hate figure. He wasn't exactly endearing personality wise or blessed with good social skills. I'm sure plenty prods didn't even like him as he really was quite repellent. Never done shouting and bawling down a microphone.
Yeah I'm aware I've been over there in your area and wife took ferry to N Ireland from Glasgow but not me. Church friends. They helped me understand the conflict since I'm from the states and was only exposed to MSM about it all. Thanks, yeah that sounds right that he was somewhat of a sensationalist. We didn't like his doctrine. Tell me you don't eat Cod Roe, gave me PTSD :)
I stay just outside Glasgow. The conflicts died down in terms of the bombings and violence but the bitterness is very deeply entrenched.
Ps what's cod roe? Is it fish?
Yes the conflicts have died down. Yes, Cod Roe is fish eggs fried in the fish's bladder, I had it in Stornoway on Isle of Lewis and was glad I didn't know what I was eating. Lol.
Sounds revolting, glad to have never tried it. Saying that I love scotch pies but heard there's a few gross things in them. Mt grampas generation used to eat tripe a lot which is sheeps stomach. Mingin.
Ah, I've heard of sheep's stomach. And blood pudding. I know of Shepherd's pie but not Scotch, maybe they're the same. But what I had was nothing gross.
Being a member of a particular denomination over there I ended up visiting a lot of places, great people there. Glasgow and Edinburgh mainly, and Isle of Lewis. Was gonna go to Aberdeen but didn't make it. Never made it to Skye, everybody said to go there. Scotland is beautiful and still somewhat wild. But too cold :) The beaches are amazing.
Shepherds pie is really just mince n tatties. Scotch pie is different. Blood pudding? Think you mean black. It's made with sheeps blood. Yuck. Glad you liked it here. Yes it's cold and damp but nice in places. Sorry I'm rambling on.
Yeah I'm rambling too. I'll shut-up now. Yes, how dumb, I did mean black pudding! Shepard's Pie to us is just mashed potatoes and hamb meat and veggies. Yum. The Dutch make it I think that's where we first had it, in Canada tho.
