    Oh yes, I understand, I’m an American of Irish descent who prefers Guinnness unironically. Things are so much different now than they were back then, and that’s a good thing.

    I went to Ireland in the 90s and had a wonderful time, but never did go to the North. I hope to go back at some point and see Belfast, no matter whose flag is flying. How much of a twist would it be if Ireland reunited not after more violence, but for economic reasons after a poorly executed Brexit?

      It’s a different place now, friend. I feel like it was still quite a poor country in the 90s. Glad you had a good time though!
