Childish waffle recited by scum of low or nil intelligence

Avondhu I have recited above rhyme a fair few times, and I have recited some more, I can categorically state that I am of neither low intelligence nor am I scum. So I would appreciate if you kept the name calling to yourself.

I grew up in a house that ate their dinner in the living room while watching the 6 o'clock news.  Nothing was really shielded to my young eyes in terms of news coverage.  In saying that though i cant think of a specific news story that stood out. Each day was deaths, punishment beatings and bombs.

In the mid 70s,I was starting my soccer career (which ultimately fell well short of my objectives to play in the European Cup) as the baby of the side in a Lurgan adult team.I recall on the minibus to an away game one of the lads commenting on a TV news programme about Biafra which featured women and young children running about with guns.Another team mate retorted "FFS you see that all the time in Kilwilkie!" 😂😂😂😂

If the world cup in 1990 doesn't count the it was the outbreak of the first Gulf War. I think I was 6 or 7. Locally it was the Shankhill bomb and a picture of a wee girl that was murdered in it has never left me. Then a week later the Rising Sun shooting which my mum grew up beside and knew five of the people murdered.

Anyone who actually thinks that reciting that rubbish serves any purposes surely ticks the scum box and low intelligence box.

In my day "the Gulf war" was the Iran-Iraq war. When Desert Storm started people were calling it the "second Gulf War." Shame how the Iran-Iraq war seems to have disappeared from memory.

Biafra appeal. We collected money in school  for the 'Black babies' as they were known. Late 60s

9/11. I am in my 20s so I don't remember the war in Ulster, all the stuff I grew up with was mainly politicians guldering at each other in Stormont. My father always talks about the war in Ulster, people seem to think that war was something foreign pre 1969, they act as if they are the only ones who experienced war but Ulster has been a hot bed of conflict since medieval times, the only difference is that video cameras existed during this war which makes it more famous.
