Cool

Yeah the War Memorial Gardens are spectacular. Anyone in Dublin for the day should head out sometime over the summer

One of my favourite places in the city!

Ahh look at that flag wave along with the national anthem. It's a beautiful thing, that.

*tear*

Is it just me or does Lizzie look like shes eaten a dodgy Kebab? She looks awfully uncomfortable there

Nijmegen · 17-05-2011 03:32PM

Wonder if you ever get sick of listening to national anthems, as a head of state?

And somehow it's OK for you to refer to it as a "republican" flag, thereby detaching it from all of the people of Ireland who detest everything that word has come to represent ?

But it is the flag of the Republic.. don't accost others because you yourself have allowed your definition of the word 'republican' to be altered by a violent few.

Ah jaysus, they've let Biffo and Bertie out.

Wolfe Tone · 17-05-2011 03:34PM

Hmmm, want too bad, GSTQ was a bit much though, those men did not fight and die to have that played while the freedom they fought for has still not been attained.

The reason the public can't see her is the reason she should not be here. It's premature and will do more harm than good locally.

Perhaps she should have put it off until her 140th birthday?

A majority of voters North and South seem content with the present conditions.

Mary McAleese would probably get it. Duurty bitch.

The Council of State at the Garden of Rememberance, more like the Council of Absolutely Useless C*nts & Failures...

Sad that Garret Fitzgearld is too ill to attend this.

He deserved his part in today's events.

Hard to believe Phil the Greek is 90

Nijmegen · 17-05-2011 03:36PM

I keep wishing they had lip readers in RTE to see what Phil is saying... There's got to be some gold in there.

We are still a republic though.

We are. However because the word "republican" has been hijacked by those who wish to undermine said republic and go against the democratic will of the people, it's ambiguous and even more confusing to refer to something as "republican".

I occasionally use the word for both meanings, placing it in inverted commas when it's the bastardised version.

Other people don't, which makes it even more ambiguous than the word "Ireland". So having someone consciously replace a well-recognised "colloquial" word with an even more ambiguous one that has negative connotations which potentially leaves out the majority of actual Irish people is ridiculous.

They all seem to be getting on well

baldbear · 17-05-2011 03:36PM
