    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.

    Me that reminds me i must go collect... :D

    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?

    As above,

    Educate yourself, before getting upset over nothing.

    Kevin Myers etc

    No, he's got a superiority complex, and counts himself above all mortal beings, and probably some immortal ones as well.

    I don't know but for the week that was in it I'd say as an elderly British lady, she would've been quite nervous around that bloke with a sword:eek:

    She has a fine crowd with her!!

    Why don't you re-post this in Irish, and add Irish language translations on all future posts?

    Kevin Barry would be proud.

    Wtf are you on about? She's not taking command of them. Every other visiting head of state gets the same treatment.Mary McAleese would receive a similiar welcome from the British Army when she goes over.

    In fairness, he's referring to the British Queen, who is unelected.
