Always the coincidences: the two places in Ireland I have been are Portrush and Belfast. I was in Belfast in 1967 - college debating, knocked out in round one by the eventual winners Queens, Dublin) - and on my last night I met a man in a bar who gave me a concise prediction of the troubles that were to arrive, just as he said, in 69. Seven years later in a bar in Beograd I was given a similarly accurate prediction of the troubles that would come about when Tito died. Being Welsh I waited for the triad but it never came. (Yet.)
Thanks ffarington. A Slovenian poet friend Iztok Osojnik said ‘Give me two newspapers and a murder and I can start a civil war.’ It was his shorthand for what happened after Tito. Maybe the third in your triad is just around the corner in the US? I hope not.
