AU Where they are dating and move in with one another.
I dunno. I am tired and bored on a rainy evening, so I shall ship supporting characters from 1960s Doctor Who.

books of the month: july 2018
July was such a good reading month for me, I read some really cool/amazing/interesting stuff and I read seven books, even though I got my wisdom teeth removed and felt so terrible I didn’t read for a whole week. That was fun.
I’m now at 47 books for 2018 which is kind of insane. I never thought this would be the year in which I read so much more than ever (probably) before.
Of my July books, two…

Martin McGuinness RIP
A short version of this article appeared in Ceylon Today on March 30 2017.
The world watched in horror as Khalid Masood drove a car into tourists and innocent bystanders at Westminster on March 24, 2017. At the funeral of Martin McGuinness on March 23 Gerry Adams described McGuinness, who died on March 21, as a “freedom fighter” rather than a terrorist. There has always been much talk by the…

Anyone who showed resistance was deemed to have had ‘bad character’. So you have Irish Catholics, traitors in effect, administering British rule here in the six counties. We want [the English] out and then we will deal with all these other issues... the collaborators and all the rest of it... The south urgently needs us northerners to take control of things because they have just gone so wishy-washy it’s beyond belief – they’ve no spark of patriotism, they’ve turned their back on their faith, everything you could possibly imagine – they’ve really no sense of Irishness worth talking about so we have to re-instill all that in them. The only way we’re going to get a united Ireland is to break up the United Kingdom, so-called. And now what we’re seeing is people are starting to openly talk about border polls and all the rest of it. Why do we need a border poll? Why do we have to vote to prove anything? They [English] just need to get the hell out of our country.

"Danny Morrison, the IRA and people like you discriminated against Catholics and families like mine, by telling us who we could work for and where we could socialise. "Miss Travers death was regrettable but understandable as her father is a member of the British judiciary." Don't preach about discrimination, you are shameful." - Ann Travers See here: https://twitter.com/brianjohnspencr/status/702634581724438529
On the day my lovely daughter was murdered her killer tried to murder my darling wife (Joan) also. At that time Mary lay dying on her mum’s breast, her gentle heart pouring its pure blood on to a dusty Belfast street. The murderer’s gun, which was pointed at my wife’s head, misfired twice. Another gunman shot me six times. As he prepared to fire, I saw the look of hatred on his face, a face I will never forget.
