    So are you suggesting that that wasnt the Queen but was actually Bridie O'Connor from Ballydehob dressed as Liz?

    Wiki -

    "In 1491 Cork played a part in the English Wars of the Roses when Perkin Warbeck a pretender to the English throne, landed in the city and tried to recruit support for a plot to overthrow Henry VII of England. The mayor of Cork and several important citizens went with Warbeck to England but when the rebellion collapsed they were all captured and executed. Cork's nickname of the 'rebel city' originates in these events"

    WTF is this "inferiority complex" bull that's doing the rounds on boards lately ? Did it come from the "Kill off all possible disagreements" handbook ?

    Fair f**ks to Cork for showing Dublin how to behave.......and if anyone reckons that's "begrudging" or "inferiority", then remember that Dublin had its chance the other day and the thugs there won.

    I think you'll find they didn't. A small turnout (pathetic even) was easily suppressed and handled by the Gardaí.

    But don't let facts stop from hating... :rolleyes:

    Dublin had to be cordoned off as it was a certainty that the usual rent-a-mob gang of scrotes wouldn't be able to behave themselves.

    And lo, it did come to pass........
