If the IRA are good for one thing, it’s whitty nicknames. Jug head, for his prominent ears, banger - bad with fire arms

IRA liked explosives. Mountbattens boat (killers coincidently caught for driving an uninsured car), and paratroopers in 1979 (causing biggest loss in parachute regiment since ww2, no one charged).
