Yes Adam, sadly you're right. Sadly also I suspect it is one of life's certainties; like death and taxes. A well chosen Jam. The Pogues present it well. My grandfather and two of his brothers survived this "cluster". Despite all being shot and against the odds they came back with all bits intact, but their minds were always elsewhere. April 25 - a special day for us, but I don't march. Too many memories. Despite the jingoistic patriotism of the nation, those who have been see it differently.
