[QUOTE=Brotherton Lad;4364345]I can see this will go well.

Ben, I was there in 1987 for a fairly short spell in Newry and it was very quiet. I was however equipped with the mighty SLR and DMS boots and puttees.

Brotherton Lad were right being you, lurking in the shadows as we did during the troubles. Ben it was hell!

I'd like to know what your experience of it was if you would be willing?

I'm not actually here to take sides or to offer some political message. The story is character based and doesn't swing politically either way.

What was the balled up newspaper for in the webbing?

Contract me as your historical research and I'll tell you......

On another note, as the septics commonly spout: No don't know man, you weren't there...

haha wish I could mate and you'd probably do well. I went to a production company the other day and their military adviser charges £450 an hour!

This screenplay is speculative which means it's written as a product to be sold rather than being contracted and the production company pay for research required. So all the money for research is my own and I simply can't afford to pay people for their input as much as I would like to.

This is really an attempt to hear a few voices on the subject as well as find out a little about life in NI.

Seriously tho £450 an hour, madness!

Too true, trying to find out to the best of my ability tho without being shot at etc.
