    I used to smoke silk cut when i was younger, then the heroin addiction really kicked in and i needed something stronger.

    I was just about to say that Gambol.

    Sam doesn't live in Derry he lives in Fintona and works in Strabane. The area would make The Hills Have Eyes look like Beverly Hills 90210.

    Never been to Fintona, but Strabane is a weird ol place. Everyone seems to be related.

    They are. Strabane is the inbred capital of NI (maybe even the UK and Ireland). Fintona is just full of benefit cheating scallies so thank God I live outside it or I may have ended up like that. I like being a country boy.

    That's not Fintona.

    Also, I don't work in Strabane itself, I work in an industrial estate on the Derry road

    I've heard about this

    Please let 2017 be Stoke-on-Trent

    I have just sunk my life savings into a Santa/Ghost Train type scenario for kids aged 10 & under.

    Just 1 kid, & i will be set up for life.

    Well it came up in Google search. It seems a few years old. Maybe it's had a makeover?

    Derry does boast some lovely public works of art, those home owners must be really proud of where they live to decorate the ends of their terraces like that, lovely.

    Liverpool was european city of culture.

    Derry is UK city of culture. The Nationalists call it the city of culture and the Unionists call it The UK city of culture. All very political and it doesn't have to be. As long as it brings some sustainable investment to the North west, then most folk are going to be fairly pragmatic about it, regardless of political affiliation.

    Derry is a great place with great people, but opportunities are so limited here. There is a hugely intelligent, highly motivated workforce here. All they need is jobs to do. Hopefully this might help that. I know that some of the contracts have already been awarded outside the city and indeed out of the country and that doesn't really doesn't instill any confidence in the venture.

    This weekend commemorates the 40th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. That is a deep and palpable scar in this town. The admission that mistakes had been made by the British government is certainly the start of the healing process.

    Hopefully the city of culture thing is going to help that as well.

    Have you ever been to Stoke? Bleak doesn't even come close.
