    Great that they do such vital work they can bazz off to shout at the GPO.

    Just had a four plane fly-by, it's all a little tense to be honest. Don't think I'll be leaving the office for lunch anyway.

    Dear English People, we have your Queen. If you want her back, please leave €67bn in an unmarked paper bag by Leinster House.

    Why does she have to inspect the guard of honor, and why does he have to ask her permission to dismiss the guard of honor? Is this just normal for any head that visits Ireland?
