Which of the Presidential Candidates would you have a pint with?

Judgement Day · 20-09-2011 03:00PM #1

Of the five candidates for President which would you prefer to have a pint with and why. Here are mine in order and I'm a Unionist.

1. Martin McGuinness - seems human, affable and probably enjoys a joke.
2. Mary Davis - inoffensive.
3. Sean Gallagher - too boring.
4. Gay Mitchell - Fine Gael - say no more.
5. Michael D Higgins - pompous ass who bore the hind legs off a donkey.

Marty for me, some great stories from days of yore.

yeppydeppy · 20-09-2011 03:06PM

I'd have a pint with any of them, as long as they were buying, which they would, looking for my vote and all. I'm broke and can't afford a pint till I'm paid next bleedin' week.

JupiterKid · 20-09-2011 03:07PM

Probably Michael D.

I'd share a line of coke with Dana.

Blazer · 20-09-2011 03:08PM

My time is too precious to be wasted on these idiots...if they're going for the Presidency then obviously they've decided to hell with making changes and let's settle in for a cushy ride.

foxyboxer · 20-09-2011 03:09PM

I've already had a pint with Michael D*

Do I win?

Martin Mc Guinness he would have some interesting tales and he is meant to be great craic. He even got on with big Ian,

super_furry · 20-09-2011 03:13PM

Martin McGuinness is a tee-totaller. For that, if nothing else, no self-respecting Irishman should vote for him.

ejmaztec · 20-09-2011 03:13PM

You'd probably end up with a pint of gravy from the train that one of them's going to get a ride on.

SEPT 23 1989 · 20-09-2011 03:13PM

None of the above

super_furry · 20-09-2011 03:15PM

With David Norris not running, Mary Davis is the only one you'd have even half a chance of getting the ride off, so her. Not going to waste my time with the others.

Simon Adebisi · 20-09-2011 03:18PM

Ill wait for Dana to get the sigs and then go for a scoop with her and tell loads of abortion jokes.

Cork boy 55 · 20-09-2011 03:32PM

I voted for Mary davis cause she is so cute and pretty

In the election it's MMG all the way

:pac:

EDIT

MMG does not drink

uch · 20-09-2011 03:33PM

All them if they are buying

Bloody Nipples · 20-09-2011 03:46PM

I'll wait for Dana and try and drop the hand.

Judgement Day · 20-09-2011 04:07PM

Is Martin McGuinness really a teetotaller? Another black mark in my book so and he likes ****ing poetry - jeez he's turning out nearly as bad as Michael Twee.

KeithAFC · 20-09-2011 04:25PM

Mary Davis

--Kaiser-- · 20-09-2011 04:31PM

I can't say I'd particularly like a pint with any of them but I wouldn't piss on Martin McGuinness if he was on fire

That's your "should've gone to specsavers" moment right there. :rolleyes:

Wolfe Tone · 20-09-2011 04:56PM

Martin McGuinness, he can drive me home after seen as he doesn't drink and he wont tell me to shut up if I start singing "The Men behind the wire" after 10 pints.

EDIT: If I had a pint with Higgins I'd probably start slagging him for looking like a gnome after I've had a few, doubt that would go down too well.

really? politics aside he comes across a bit miserable /dour

None of them seem like great drinking buddies. Mary Davis would blend in with the wallpaper in most pubs. Higgins would make a show of ya with his bad poetry. Mitchell would have you drinking pints of Holy Water, and McGuinness doesn't drink at all. I'd have to say Gallagher.. he seems like he'd be the best craic after a few jars.. and I could blag a free lift home with him since he lives only 2 miles away.

Ghost Buster · 20-09-2011 05:39PM

I wouldnt have a pint with Mc Guinness unless he held a gun to my head.
So I think its likely that i would have a pint with McGuinness.
If he becomes President will he be calling the shots?

Morlar · 20-09-2011 05:49PM

I'd love to see higgins roaring drunk on a whiskey binge. Big red eyes hair all up in the air and all over the place, pa-ra-lytic. It'd be hilarious.

charlemont · 20-09-2011 06:19PM

Mcguiness.

JerryHandbag · 20-09-2011 06:23PM

Michael Dee. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

LordSutch · 20-09-2011 06:28PM

McGuinness for a pint! we'd talk about many things including the brand of timer used in the Enniskillen bomb, then we'd chat about the ways he & his mates used to shoot off young fellas knee caps, I guess we wold also chat about the remaining disappeared and the possible financial reparations to IRA victims in wheelchairs, we could than talk about Ogla na hÉireann, and which one he supports

Lovely pint indeed, although I would probably be suffering from bouts of depression & fits of extreme anger for several months after the encounter.

My name is URL · 20-09-2011 06:36PM

It sounds like you need more than a pint to unwind =p

I'd probably ask McGuinness about the human proxy bomb, particularly that used against a cook Patrick Gillespie whose family were taken by the IRA. Patrick was then told to drive a truck loaded with explosives to a checkpoint at Coshquin on the border where the bomb was remotely detonated killing him and five soldiers.

Or maybe about Le Mon bombing where twelve people were killed and 30 were severely injured when a petrol bomb mixed with sugar (designed so the petrol would stick to whatever it hit) exploded in a packed restaurant. See an image of one of the charred victims here

Or maybe about the countless people tortured under his command who had finger nails ripped out, boiling water/tar poured on them, etc before being dumped in some bog.

Yes that would be an interesting pint.

You'd probably only be suffering for about five minutes.:eek:
