    Fair play to him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    At least he and his train of vagabonds draw tourist revenue to Britain each year. We unfortunately pay a quarter of a million a year for a 70 year old leprechaun to live a life of luxury with all the trappings of royalty.

    Hobbits can tell the weeks weather just by listening to the wind. So expect that little bollix on RTE Weather one of the days.

    He is not getting mammys job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    At least he done it with a bit of humour and even personality, i suppose he's looking into new employment seen the Queen will most likely live to 100 by which time Charles will have kicked the bucket.

    So his "lifetime" doesn't include the time he served in the military?

    Meanwhile, our government are performing their duties with the utmost efficiency and at practically no cost to the taxpayer.

    Don't lose sight of our own problems because people nearby are receiving a moral boosting video from their leaders.

    It is still sh1t here.

    I saw someone smile earlier. In Ireland. Cheeky bastids, do they not know there is a recession on and that our aborted fetus' will be conscripted into an EU army earning just 1.88 euro an hour if this fiscal treaty passes? :mad:

    Does changing uniforms count?

    The father of two bit may be debatable.

    €1.88 an hour?
    That's more than my great grandsons pocket money. . .
    About a shiling. . .

    Them fetus' dont know how lucky they are. In my day we got paid in coal. Coal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    And you were glad to have the coal.

    In all seriousness, Ireland isnt a particularly bad country. Its far from a utopia. But anyone living here, enjoys a standard of living that the vast, vast majority of people on this planet would love to have.

    I am sure there are plenty of more irritating experiences than listening to a 20 something year old, well fed, white Irish male with an iPhone in one hand and a pint in the other, declaring that Ireland is the shittest country ever, but at moment, I cant think of one.

    William or Harry on the "Who Do You Think You Are" tv show would be me idea of comedy gold.

    William is his - luckily, as he's the heir.

    As for Harry, :o
