    I thought - give the man a shot at it!

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    Colin Farrell would be ideal, as long as he kept drinking, smoking and shagging anything that moved.

    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.......

    Kids growing up seeing him as president would realise that gay people are a part of life too. They are ordinary people. They're not "evil" as the Church would have you believe.

    They should be accepted as part of our country. If kids were to see that our ceremonial leader was gay, they'd see that it is a normal part of life and they'd accept homosexuals as fellow human beings before there's time for prejudice to set in.

    My number one vote would go to Jeremy Clarkson, and Second would go to Terry Wogon.

    Come to think of it, I would make Jeremy president and run Sir Terry for Taoiseach.
