Apparently real

villainous

From what I've heard, its a viable device on a 67 at the glenroyal turnaround

LeixlipRed

A viable device is a "box of pringles with a rolex taped onto it" to steal a quote from a mate of mine.

Bloody RA. I was on the 67 after that.

The security costs (one of the major complains of the anti-queen-visit brigade) wouldn't be half as high if they would bloody shut up and stop making threats.

LeixlipRed

There'd be no costs if she never visited too. Imagine how much a re-tooling of Mary MacAleese's perm is costing for this visit? The GDP of Botswana to add height and girth to that thing.

Presuming if they are still there it's real.
Has the IRA or other republican groups targeted a bus before?
I think it could be al qaeda

Squeeonline

It will be a disgrace to this country if a head of state from our strongest and most important neighbour can't visit safely.

My advice to the queem is that she should have popped over last week on a ryanair flight and blended in with the crowd. Plenty of groups of german tourists. Should would have felt just at home.

Al Qaeda? Really? I seriously doubt it.

LeixlipRed

I think he might be joking :P Also she'd need to blend in with inbred Germans, not too many of those about :P

Well there was no 67 in or around the area that I could see. There was a coach.

Will they accept the stress of this as a valid reason for failing my exam tomorrow? If I get a note from the RA like?

LeixlipRed

Yeh, mention it along with that time you got banned from boards too... we accept those excuses always.
