balls.ie – I am from Northern Ireland. I am proud to be from that small region of the world, proud to be a ‘Nordie’.

Proud to sound like a train foghorn, to say ‘aye’ and to constantly amuse people from the south side of the border with my pronunciations of words like ‘chicken’ and ‘situation’. Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan, Rory McIlroy and George Best, Liam Neeson and Seamus Heaney , Michael McLaverty and Stiff Little Fingers-I am proud to be from the same curious, utterly unique part of the world as them.
