    They're not, Freddie Mercury is dead...

    Never and why the **** would we want her anyway? She has no business in Ireland. Infact, she has no business in England. They should send her packing and use her wealth to assist the thousands of homeless people I saw scattered throughout London.

    Who out there WANTS the queen to come here, i would imagine most people wouldnt give a sh*t and would just be resentful about the whole thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,883 ✭✭✭wudangclan


    why shouldn't she visit?

    I'm afraid I don't know, and I have a suspicion they don't advertise that sort of thing very far in advance.

    As an aside, from the constitution:

    Article 4
    The name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland.

    That's exactly what we need - millions of our tax spent on a security operation for an old hag who serves absolutely no importance to us. It would be better served in our health or education.

    But most importantly, she's a c*nt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I'll let the lads know.

    They'll be over the moon :)

    I'd like to see her come just to see people like you flip out about it.

    I've a feeling she would come out with some right clangers(like calling Ireland Eire) though which would mean anything but closure ;)

    it's depressing how many retards still care about this ****.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,657 ✭✭✭✭road_high


    Whats the big deal? She is the (symbolic) leader of our nearest neighbours, like it or not.
    I find it amazing that she has not set foot here. Ever. Isn't she always visting other countries anyhow, so again what's the big deal?

    If Betty and Phil want to pop over here on their hols I have no problem with it. Plenty of Irish people visit the UK for business and pleasure, no reason
    why the royals should be any different or receive any trouble visiting here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,657 ✭✭✭✭road_high


    Saw her on Sky news last week. Apparently she was scolding Silvio Berlusconi for shouting across at Obama. I couldn't see what the hell they were going on about. Good aul Sky, making news out of nothing as usual....

    ....and they've had Mary Mac over on several occasions

    this is The AH forum after all, even those that don't care just join in the rant. ;)

    Personally I'd be moderately nationalistic, and it wouldn't bother me if she came except as someone else pointed out, ye could do with spending the money that the massive security operation costs on more urgent things in these tough times.

    I'd like to tell you all how much I'm looking forward to the visit but I've never lied to you before and I'm not starting now.

    What the prim and proper Brits used to call us officially, i.e. Ireland.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 857 ✭✭✭markok84


    Technically she has visited Éire..... Éire was the name of the state as in the Irish Constitution of 1937. Under articles 2 & 3 of that constitution the Irish state laid claim to all the land on the Island of Ireland, these articles were amended in 1998 (as we know) however article 4 wasn't. So as far as I'm concerned Éire refers to the entire island and not the 26 counties of the republic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 867 ✭✭✭stainluss


    who cares lol
    i dont even think they want her in England lol

    Soon, I hope. The gigantic Union Jack I hung outside my house is beginning to make the neighbours gossip.

    I didn't go into town to see Clinton when he came 'cos I was freezing. I'm sorry I didn't though..I like him. Wouldn't be interested in going anywhere to see any of the royals. I might've went up to have a look if Diana was visiting though, she wasn't a bad auld skin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭deco05ie


    Before reading this thread I had never heard of someone being offended by Ireland being called Eire:confused:

    Not a bad proposal they've been dragging the corpse of St. Terese up and down the country for years, maybe we could dig up Di and make a few bob off her..... or was she cremated? :rolleyes:

    People will get offended by anything. <-In fact somebody is probably taking offence to this as you're reading it.
