Is this serious?

I'm not trying to be smart, but what war? Some people are trapped in the past.. whereas most of us, and I mean us in the North, have moved on. There is no war, Sharon from Dublin.

Hi Colm (from the North) !
The British have also declared it as such , but can I ask what exactly you view it as, and why?
Thanks!
Sharon (from Dublin).

Hi !
This very successful and almost over-subscribed fund-raiser was held last night (Saturday 31st July 2010) as planned , at which three acts were on stage over the course of the evening . Ten items were offered , and won , as prizes in the raffle , including one donated by a well-known figure whom , it is said, used the liquid made by that prize to keep himself awake and alert on one particular night in 1966....

A few words and some pics can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below.
Thanks!
Sharon.
