    And everyone an 11 reg. No recession there.

    They're probably British cars that were brought over for the occasion.

    At least it made you remember.
    Now try and put yourself in the place of those bereaved and then consider that we have invited the head of the state that colluded in those events. The state that protects those responsible, the state that tells a sworn inquiry of our people and government to go to f***.

    What makes you think I didn't "remember" ? I said that they pointed out the irony, not that "oh, they made me remember it".

    But of course your view would probably be that I couldn't possibly be neutral on the Queen of England's visit while remembering those. You'd be wrong, of course, but I suspect that would still be your view.

    Would you prefer that I replace my neutral (or more accurately, my "criticism of all violent mindsets") view with the views of those who protected those responsible for Omagh and Enniskillen and Birmingham ?

    No thanks!

    De Valera was not the ghoul portrayed by legend, but I am going off topic here, so I will stop.

    Marys pen is not good enough for the Duke. He bought his own to sign the book.

    Just out of bed, has everyone been overwhelmed with a sense of inferiority in the face of a Brit monarch yet?

    What a joke, all this sh!te for an unelected head of state.


    How many people are on the dole again? How many are behind in mortgage payments? How many are homeless? On hospital trolly's?


    And we spend 30 million on this? Our priorities are fcuked up, would rather play happy families than look after our own citizens.


    Go back to bed.

    The head of Bord Failte must be sitting front of his TV with a big box of Kleenex for the next four days, they couldn't even dream about getting the coverage this is getting worldwide!
