Looks like the Queen will be paying us a visit in 2011.

And what "Queen" would that be? The one and only "Queen" on the planet? Is this the same "Queen" that Dutch people speak of? That Norwegians speak of? That Spaniards speak of?

Let me guess: of all these foreign monarch you mean the British queen when you say "the Queen"? Are you Irish, or merely Oirish?

Unsurprisingly given this mentality your source is the most trashiest pro-British/anti-Irish rag in all of the Oirish media (including The Sun and The News of the World), the Sunday Independent. Horrendous shít altogether.

When we say "the Queen" it's obvious who we mean, at least if you were from Ireland anyway...

I suspect you've fallen in some, and your eyes are clouded. Perhaps?

You're entitled to an opinion, what's yours? Exactly and coherently like. Thanks.

I don't mind if she comes over if she pays for it. It's a financial issue at this point.

Since when do people have to pay for their own holidays, thats just crazy talk!

RMD · 03-10-2010 11:21pm

I'm not saying this from a nationalist point of view. But why are we paying for a visit we don't want, that we all know will cause trouble.

The unionist parade in 06 caused riots, Blair's book signing nearly ended in the same. This visit is just going to cause trouble, and it's absolutely ****ing ridiculous to think it wont.

I'm a suspicious sort and I can't help wondering if that's half the point. We don't have her, trouble - they're living in the past. We do have her, trouble - bunch of animals. We have to have her, and just hope people keep themselves under enough control to just not bother showing up. That would certainly be the best thing. Polite, cordial and uneventful.

What I would like to know, given that paranoia, is who's idea it was.

"The Queen" my arse. Plebs.

What part of Ireland are you from?

I'd put a lot of money on it if you went throughout Ireland and asked who the "Queen" is, you'd be told the Queen of Britain. It's not the Irish trying to imitate British culture, it's simply just who most would associate the word Queen with.

PeterIanStaker · 03-10-2010 11:36pm

Wonder if the guards will have to restrain Mr Myers from frantically humping her leg like a chihuahua, or will he exercise restraint?

That woman is not THE Queen but merely "a queen", just like if I refer to "The president" I will be talking about OUR president and not say, Obama.

I wonder will the monarch in question will care to apologize for the barbaric acts carried out in her name by her armed forces on this island? Maybe she would like to strip those paras of the honors she gave them?

AFAIK she doesn't have the authority to do those things. She's just a very, very expensive figurehead. They keep her around so they don't need to move to a presidential system and can keep things chugging along as they are. A useful idiot.

The Queen and Brian Cowen in the same room?
Wheres Lee Harvey Oswald when ya need him?

FarmerGreen · 03-10-2010 11:47pm

The best way to deal with it is with a snub.

When she goes out to 'meet the people' there aren't any.
Not one.
If you see it coming, turn your back and walk away.
The worst insult you can give to people like that is ignoring them.

Is her mum still alive? Now her and Cowen in a room together would be something... no naked flames.

I've a son in the Defence Dept in the UK, refused to raise the Union Jack over thier own building in London, where he was a new employee [porter]. They gave him different duties.

if he has a problem with the union jack then why did he get a job that pretty much has the closest job description to 'union jack flag raiser'. also, way to make friends in the office as the new guy.

Bring on Mr.Bean.

Lux23 · 03-10-2010 11:52pm

I would love if she brought an army with her and reinvaded because now is the perfect time, its clear we can't run the country ourselves.

round tower huntsman · 03-10-2010 11:57pm

the quislings will be desperate to show that we've moved on as a nation, that relations between ireland and the british are normal etc..... it'll blow up in their face imo. she pinned medals on the bloody sunday paras ffs.
she's a cxnt. she aint welcome.

Ah OP

Gardai prepare plan for Queen's arrival

There are many Queens in Europe.
Netherlands for example

Yeah, most will assume you mean United Kingdom and they would be correct.
But realy, she is not "the Queen"

Can the thread title be changed so all those with pedantic chips on their shoulders will stop reminding us theres more than one queen? despite the fact that the majority of Irish people will associate the Queen of England with the title unless stated otherwise if it was said to them?

I completely agree. But unfortunately there'd be enough unionist crazies from the north east, bewildered tourists, people who's knowledge of irish culture extends to the irish contestants in the x-factor and grannies who just wanna see what hat she is wearing, to form a decent sized crowd.

Plus the media will stir it up way out of proportion to sell their shock based news entertainment.

I don't think a 'meet and greet' with the public will be part of the visit. She won't be having a parade through Dublin ffs! I think it's just going to be a visit to Áras an Uachtaráin; not a big deal in my opinion. It's 2010 (will be 2011 for the visit!) and I'll be at work that day not really caring that the figurehead of our biggest trading partner is visiting our own figurehead (Mary McAleese). I won't be wearing a Celtic jersey smashing up O'Connell Street that's for sure. I'm far too patriotic to vandalise the capital city of my own country.

We should all be nice,remember the old joke

What do you get if you cross the Queen and Prince Phillip???

Murdered in a tunnel.
