Unionists in Northern Ireland have accused Derry City and Strabane District Council of “sectarian” behaviour after it voted in favour of changing the official name of Londonderry to Derry.
At the Guildhall on Thursday a vote to change the name of the city was passed with support from Sinn Fein, the SDLP and independent councillors, despite opposition from the minority unionist group on the nationalist-controlled council.
MsD wrote: Ugh, bit of a tactless thread title, Guy, given that some people here have had close encounters with strokes (and no, that's not a double entendre).
Are you still at the young and immortal stage of life? Or am I being over-sensitive?
Oh. I don't merit any slack, Friday evening or otherwise. But it wouldn't be the first tasteless pun employed in this arena.
Does it change things if it can be regarded as personal, rather than directed at "celebrities" and their families who have suffered personal tragedies and/or trauma?
I have had a fair few mates survive strokes and all the lot on here. I reckon it's the man-flu for the 21st century. Now, panic attacks, they are heavy.
