Sir Parky for President

slumped · 17-10-2008 10:01pm #1

Anyone else think that Sir Michael Parkinson would make a wonderful President of Ireland?

His comments tonight about medical cards and over 70s were fantastic.

If not Parky, then who else would make a great President of Ireland?

Never said Mary was English.

Technically she was born in the United Kingdom however, as was Parky.

If he's the right man for the job, I'd gladly welcome an English president.

Raskolnikov · 17-10-2008 11:53pm

Mary McAleese has, and always has possesed an Irish passport. Ergo, she is an Irish citizen.

I think he just summed it up there for me.

I have it on authority that the money she got for her communion and confo had HRM the Queen's head on it.

Case closed. Next.

Parky ftw.

Karl Hungus · 18-10-2008 12:02am

I for one welcome our new English president overlords.

Tom65 · 18-10-2008 12:05am

No one else finds Parkinson annoying? And a completely random (joke) choice for President?

David Norris? Dustin? Ray D'Arcy? Tom Dunne? Joe Duffy!? Anyone else!?

stovelid · 18-10-2008 12:05am

I've changed my mind. Shaun Ryder is clearly the man for the job.

Mr Magnolia · 18-10-2008 12:13am

I saw the thread title and read 'Sarky for President'

I thought - give the man a shot at it!

Norn Iron notes didn't have Queenies on them last them I was up there. Although she might have just got coins back then. We should ask her.

Why do people always make the mistake of thinking Skeletor was skinny and bony?

Mark200 · 18-10-2008 12:23am

Michael O'Leary should be put in charge of the Dept Health

Imagine the amount of money we'd save

In my haste to crack a joke, I should have remembered that, I lived there for 4 years.

You do see sterling sometimes, but it was more often First Trust, BOI and Ulster Bank notes I think.

/considers ninja edit of offending post to say coins.

2Scoops · 18-10-2008 1:12am

For €325,508* a year, it's nice work if you can get it. :pac: Pity it's all decided by the politicos.

*Potentially less if the reactionary Catholic bigot Mary McAleese follows through on accepting a 10% pay cut. But still, €290k+ is still good money for opening supermarkets and scratching your hole.

st. paticks day never falls on five consecutive weekdays thanks to leap years..

Raiser · 18-10-2008 8:59am

Think we have one already.......she went to the US one day and told them that the Irish people were all miserable, slovenly alcoholics.

- Other than that I think she just keeps the shoe shops going and ignores planning permission orders......

David Norris was a good nomination, imo.

I know that having Obama as American president will lead to more open-minded American kids as they'll see a black man leading the nation, so to say.

It would be great if we had a gay president, it may help the young people of the country to be more accepting of homosexuals and "different" lifestyles.

A younger Garret FitzGerald would be great, too. I can't think of any other great statesmen that would fit the bill.

Being more accepting of homosexuals is not necessarily a good thing

Because its not anything thats going to be a defining moment in history. We'd have a gay president, so what? People have their own opinions of what it tasteful and what isn't, so I don't see how a gay guy being the president is suddenly going to have swarms of people out to celebrate gay pride.......

Bertie for President....he must miss the limelight by now:D

Sir Parky for President
