    Pretty cool . Bertie is invited to speak to the American Congress . Will make him 5th person ever to address US congress and both UK parliamentary houses .

    Now I am not the man's biggest fan but I do feel chuffed for US - the Irish . Quite a distinction for our little nation

    the inarticulate twaddle he treats us to is not what he will present in America .

    His UK speech ( well written by a talented civil servant ) was very well delivered .

    I expect his US speech will be too.

    this is good for us .

    Have you heard him speak? Let's just distance ourselves from this until we hear what he has to say...and the way he says it!

    Happens a lot, especially recently. Something to do with global warming, time zones and Chuck Norris.

    Yeah wtf is up with these "posts before posts" I'm seeing everywhere on boards now.

    Saw one thread today where the very 1st post was the actually reply to the OP's post.

    :confused:

    Has the boards server moved to the bermuda triangle?...
