That Queen wants to visit (again)

darkman2 · 17-02-2008 01:03AM #1

Bertie said yesterday it will be 'in a few years' the British monarch will visit. Is it the right time? Should we have any visit from the Queen officially at all? Are we over our 800 years of depression yet?:)

Will you be out there amongst the hoards of adoring crowds in Kingstown with your Union Jack?

eoin2nc · 17-02-2008 01:05AM

Let her in,isn't she a nice old lady? Dont see what the fuss could be about

Naikon · 17-02-2008 01:06AM

If everybody didn't give a **** and media coverage will be thin on the ground
about the issue, I'm happy:D

Red Hand · 17-02-2008 01:08AM

Well, considering I don't cheer and wave flags at other heads of state when they visit-no, I won't be in the crowd.

But if she wants to come and the government want her to come, then whats the big deal?

Mint Sauce · 17-02-2008 01:08AM

not fussed tbh

To quote Gerry Adams "Mrs. Windsor can come and go as she pleases".

stepbar · 17-02-2008 01:11AM

Meh, she should take the ferry so..... TBH like the president of our country, they both perform a retarded function.

blackbelt · 17-02-2008 01:12AM

Only insensitive fools would object,not bothered tbh.

17-02-2008 01:12AM

I don't care. Same when other monarchs/state officials come to visit.

galwayrush · 17-02-2008 01:13AM

i don't see what the fuss against her visit is about.GB is our nearest neighbour and main Trading Partner.

davyjose · 17-02-2008 01:13AM

She visits America - they don't seem to hold any grudges. Go for it Lizzy!!!

artanevilla · 17-02-2008 01:15AM

Why would she? She's no business to be here.

GhostInTheRuins · 17-02-2008 01:18AM

Yeah why not. I couldn't really care either way.

Of course there'll always be stupid scumbags that don't have a clue to make a mess of things.

MonkeyTennis · 17-02-2008 01:25AM

bet you a tenner she goes for the vikiing tour boat.

GhostInTheRuins · 17-02-2008 01:30AM

Bet you a tenner she doesn't wear one of the viking hats.

As a citizen of the EU she is entitled to travel to any other EU country - just like everybody else who is a memer of the European Union. That's what we all signed up to.

I think some people are making a mountain out of a mole hill over this issue.

When I lived in London - for 8 years, thanks to the fooook ups that are Oirish politicians and the way they managed (?) this country, lining their own pockets - I was made very welcome by the English, had a reasonable job and they were sorry to see me leave.

I also noticed the Oirish flag flying outside certain pubs throughout the London area. The English didn't give a fooook about that either - and enjoyed their pint the same as everyone else. I am just wondering what the reaction would be if the Union Jack was seen to be flying outside premises around Dublin ... ??? !!! :eek: I suppose some sections of the 'Howya Bud' brigade would shoite a square brick !!!

If that woman wants to visit Oireland then it shouldn't be an issue. Afterall, don't we send our own fooookin latchicos over to visit her in her country. I think she'd be doing us all a big favour if she locked some of those foooookers up in the Tower of London - and, threw away the key.

Besides, if you don't like it that she visits, you don't have to show up to see her.

Terry · 17-02-2008 01:36AM

As much as I despise the atrocities carried out by her ancestors, I couldn't really give a flying **** if she was to come here. It's not like she was behind all that crap.
You might as well blame my father for the fact that i banned one or two of you.
He didn't do it. I did it.
She didn't do it. Her ancestors did it.

artanevilla · 17-02-2008 01:37AM

I've seen English flags flying outside of pubs in Dublin, and some hotels have Union Jacks.

Tar.Aldarion · 17-02-2008 01:43AM

Minor quibble - I don't thinks she's actually a UK citizen

Laphroaig52 · 17-02-2008 01:48AM

She is the head of state of a friendly neighbouring country.

She's very welcome.

Quite a few pubs and hotels,only in the last few years but still, all the pubs have the flag of St George for the rugby matches.

So you think nobody should be allowed on holiday in another country? Bit harsh, isn't it?
