British army ends role in Northern Ireland.
The British army's 38-year-role in Northern Ireland formally ends today.

The closure of "Operation Banner" will see the ending of army support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland at midnight.

Some 300,000 British troops have served in Northern Ireland since 1969, when they were called in amid growing sectarian violence.

Some 763 were killed, and the last soldier to die was Stephen Restorick, who was shot by a sniper in south Armagh in February 1997.

British soldiers will remain stationed in Northern Ireland in preparation for possible deployment anywhere in the world.

However their numbers will not exceed 5,000, a level described by the army as a "normal peacetime garrison", and roughly the same number present when the large-scale street conflict erupted in 1969.

"This is a further significant step towards the realisation of a normal, peaceful, and prosperous society in Northern Ireland," Mr Ahern said. "Against this background and as we look forward to the devolution of justice and security next year, continued paramilitary activity must be brought quickly to a final end and full decommissioning delivered."

Lagan Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson, a former UDR member, said those who had served in Northern Ireland could be proud of their achievements. "[They] can be proud of their role in defeating terrorism and in restoring normality to our streets," he said.

However, Sinn Féin junior minister Gerry Kelly, a former IRA member, claimed British soldiers were an "oppressive presence" and had used intelligence and covert operations against the Catholic community.

And happy birthday to you, Harry!

Heya my dear biatches and random readers!. Yes as you may know we have reached that point of the year.. where everyone is locked in.. missing the outdoors and hiding/studying or at least trying to..well im no different, but here i am, trying to finish this paper for tuesday and since i dont have 'that pressure' that comes 12 hours before the exam when it finally hits you, that u dont kno shit and ur probably gonna fail unless u are lucky enough to sit right next to the smartest person you kno 'in case' u need his help, and you start thinkin how much time you wasted looking at ur self in the mirror, online, sending txt messeges to people you havent spoke to in ages or just watching TV shows you wouldnt watch if you werent a traped in ur own home..

Island search for missing US tourist

A search-and-rescue operation was under way off Valentia island in Co Kerry last night after an American tourist fell from a cliff while rock-climbing.

The accident occurred at about 5.15pm when the man, believed to be in his 30s and an experienced rock-climber, fell more than 30 feet into the sea at Dohilla, off the north side of the island.

The location is just underneath Valentia Coast Guard station and is a popular climbing area for enthusiasts.

The man, who has been staying in Killarney and was visiting Valentia for the day, was with two other climbers, who raised the alarm.

The Valentia lifeboat, a Shannon-based search-and- rescue helicopter, Coast Guard and cliff-rescue units, and a large number of locals were involved in the search which was expected to continue until light faded.

The Lyrics

Grace

As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed
From our schooldays they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.

Cho: Oh Grace just hold me in your arms ad let this moment linger
     They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
     With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
     There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye.

Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But when the Padhraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

Chorus

Now as dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too,
On this May morn as I walk out my thoughts well be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I love so much that I could see his blood upon the rose.

Chorus

After long nights of studying, booze and hard partying i've decided is time to spread my teachings to the world.
What does this means, you may wonder? Exactly that. Over the years i've done loads of reseach through-out very different subjects of investigation and random interest. Some would call it Passion, others just common obsessions, either way, i gathered loads of information, from tv shows to history and so on.. anyway, if you find anything i post of your interest, please by all means keep on reading and if theres something related you think it may be interesting to talk about, let me know, i may post about it, or not, it all depends on my mood! lol =P

So welcome!



This is me in Trinity College last semester about to go to a gathering against U.S military stationing at shannon airport!
