    Jaysus, I picked a bad time to visit the brother in Dublin so.

    Hopefully I'll get to see the old bint though.

    I see that mad Willie Frazer is organising 4 bus loads of his loyalist friends to head down and see his queen. Should be interesting...

    If this is true then you are pretty much guaranteed trouble.


    Willie Frazer is a horrible bigot.

    I wouldnt worry about it. from wiki

    If you were in the UDR and your brother was shot, are you telling me you wouldn't? [pass information on to loyalists] See if a Paki comes from India and kills a Provo? I'm going to shake his hand

    his geography isnt the best so if he's heading for dublin he'll probably end up in wales

    OP, source? Because they can't spell or pluralise "Gardaí" properly and I feel I must let them know.

    Ahem. Garda is the correct short-form of the collective noun for the force: An Garda Síochána. Gardaí, on the other hand, refers to more than a single garda. To call the force "the gardaí", meaning "the policemen", is just wrong.

    The Irish Times is one of the few media outlets which correctly understands this.

    Yeah, but you won't be stuck in the queues of traffic trying to take alternative routes.

    I also suspect that the Gardai will allow cyclists down a lot of roads they're closing to vehicles but not pedestrians.

    Well if not you just walk your bike past the Garda at the barrier, then jump back on the bike again! Don't you know at this stage that cyclists are exempt from all rules

    Yeah, as the Dubs wave their union jacks and an impromptu rendition of "God Save the Queen" rises from the crowd, Elizabeth will burst into tears of joy.

    They say the Queen thinks the world smells of paint.

    I'd say she'd shít herself if she found herself in a motor propelled vehicle that was not moving.

    Don't think it will happen Wolfe Tone. I think the N.I fans are being brought down by police and out by police.

    Very few will make it down anyway. An awful lot of NI fans are boycotting the game because of the restrictions. To be fair, the restrictions are OTT.

    Would you get songs written about you if you put a bullet in her? At least you'd die a hero! and the M50 would open quicker

    If Ireland had a history of suicide bombers i would actually be very surprised if there wasn't an attempt on her life. But at most Irish people have shown in recent times they keep all their aggression for the internet. So i doubt there will be nothing but the odd scuffle here and there.

    Just thought I would post this as most people probably dont know.

    Some areas of Dublin are being closed off for the Queens visit. One in particular are parts of Dublin 8. Alot of houses have been searched by Gardai. (invasion of privacy or what) and people who live around certain areas are told that they have a choice to either leave their houses at 7.30am on the day of her visit and not allowed to return till much later that day. Or spend the day in your house and NOT allowed to leave.


    So ...
    - the gardai are searching every inch of a persons house.
    - only choice they have is to either spend the day inside or away from their own home!
    - no compensation. you'd think for all the hassle they'd get something?


    this is madness.
