    I fancy being King of the country, although emperor and "empire" have a nice ring to it.

    So, I'm getting first dibs in and proclaiming that I, Beejee Tips II, am undisputed ruler of all thing.

    Yeah, you wish you thought of it first!

    I'll do many nice things, free chocolate delivered to your mouth once per month (limited to 5 lb weight), and free money too. Unfortunately I may be changing the currency name, but I'm a benevolent God and will hear suggestions.

    So, what are you gonna do about it? I'm King/Emperor of Ireland, you're not, and that's that.

    Any thoughts on my first royal/imperial laws?

    For one day a year, there shall be no speed limit on the roads. Don't like it? Keep yourself and the childer indoors and let the big boys out to play.

    You cried outside Mary's house so you did! Though to be fair, I am King of dog shoite, the dogs hole, the dogs intestines, the dogs gullet, the dogs gob, the dogs food, the dogs bowl, the ground that touches the dogs bowl and everything that touches that same ground, and hovers above that ground and the sky and space and the universe, so yes.

    Hmm. This pleases me.

    I will promote you to idea man rank 4 of the court where you shall drink your fill of intoxicating liquids day in and day out behind the lovely curtains.

    Cromwell had the right idea when it came to kings. Don't get too attached to your head there.

    Sure 'tis only the first head.

    But I take your point. I'll have a gigantic pair of gauntlets forged that are so big they'll require three serfs a piece to carry them beneath my hands, thereby thwarting any attempts to reach my neck because there'll be no room and would-be assassins will give up and then be smashed like a packet of tayto that has been smashed.

    I'd reckon this year will be an annus horribilis for Ireland. If you can go on the Late Late Show at Christmas and talk openly your annus horribilis with Ryan Tubridy then you shall have this subjects support.

    If it means that Michael D. Hobbit gets beheaded then you have my support.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    Ryan Tubridy is the last person in Ireland I would want to talk to in the aftermath. Instead I would turn to a mental health expect like a psychologist, not a bluffer with a death fixation.

    Surely you'd enjoy a little rendezvous with Ryan to discuss your annus horribilis?

    Ryan could tell us how JFK would handle it if he still had an intact first head.

    Conor Myles John O'Brien, the 18th Baron Inchiquin would probably have the best claim to the kingship of Ireland as apparently he's the closest living relative to Brian Boru.

    you think a desendant of a man who swore allegiance to the english and converted to church of ireland is the best claimant for king of ireland.

    In terms of bloodline only, although the actions of his ancestor Murrough O'Brien would probably invalidate his claim. Murrough availed of the Surrender and Regrant scheme, giving up his Kingship of Thomond and accepting the British title Baron Inchiquin instead.
