Arriving here with a copy of Richard Dawkins “The God Delusion” under my arm, reminds me of the old story from the times of “the troubles” about the masked gunman who asks a visitor “What religion are you?”
The frightened visitor responds “I’m an atheist.”
The gunman asks “are you a Protestant atheist or a Catholic atheist?”
Happily, Belfast is a wonderful city to visit nowadays and tonight I’ll be speaking to a dental audience invited by Isoplan, on the subject of financial controls.
60 minutes to tell them all I know about how to keep their fingers on the pulse of their finances – that will be a mad rush, so I’ll have to leave them wanting to know more.
Later, I’ll enjoy a pint of the real black stuff in the bar.
