Peace Process

I'm in Northern Ireland on business and it hasn't stopped raining since I arrived. The rain seems to be coming up from the ground as well as down from the sky. My feet are soaking and I'm chilled to the bone. I have theory - correct me if I'm wrong - that it's this bloody awful weather which makes everybody so sour and inflexible in Northern Ireland. It is my humble opinion that the peace process would have been much faster coming if the sun shone every day.
