"And there is no London in Derry"
I am aware of that (ask my PA who is from the 'other side' and I wind up as often as I can by referring to Derry.
for the sake of trying not to 'upset' anyone I thought I should include it
Sorry Ken, know you are fully aware of it. But, feck um, it's called Derry (Doire). Its like trying to convince my Spanish in laws that they should refer to Benidorm as Beni as not to upset the tourists

No need for sorry I will always call it Derry!!
I found the documentary on the Derry football team very moving and was trying to find the BBC Undertones documentary from a couple of years back.
How about your thoughts going to the Enniskillen and Warrenpoint victims along with other murders that the IRA terrorists have not been bought to justice for?

It is possible to feel for both the victims of Bloody Sunday and the victims of the Enniskillen bombing, y'know. Post a remembrance thread on the eighth of November and I will uptick that too.

That's a great documentary. I often work with this big group of prod civil engineers based in Derry and just this side of the border in Donegal. They are all related, brothers, uncles, brothers in law etc. There a very interesting but strange bunch. Quite proud of there protestant heritage, but in no way sectarian. They just smile at me when I call it Derry

Because they were also state sanctioned murders?

My thoughts go to all innocent victims of violence. The moment we forget is the moment we are doomed to repeat it, thinking not only of this but the Holocaust stuff discussed the other day.

How about your thoughts going to the millions of Irish men, women and children killed or starved during several hundred years of English interference/occupation?

One could reasonably add the question 'which Bloody Sunday?'
They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!
What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!"

There is more than one 'Stranger in a Strange Land' too:

On a similar theme, the band U2 tried to sue the culture-jamming pioneers Negativland for 'stealing' that name for an album (which record shops at the time were stocking with the other U2's records, which was the aim of the project, obviously), when of course U2 themselves named their group after the US spyplane.
What a world we live in. Hrmph.

This. The killings on Bloody Sunday were carried out by British soldiers, in uniform who then proceeded to lie about the circumstances and to falsely claim those killed were involved with the IRA.
For anyone British that may be a very uncomfortable truth, but that truth has been established, accepted and a serving PM even apologised for that.
Anyone seeking to post a "Yeah but..." type comment clearly hasn't grasped the enormity of what happened - namely that innocent Northern Irish catholic civilians were shot dead by British soldiers. It was and remains a dark day in our history and no "Yeah but..." will ever change that.
