Ireland and Britain (90)

I was chatting to George last night and he said he will be in me Doire soon

You never know,im sure he'll be attending gala balls and charity dinners all over when he arrives.Where there's a will there's a way

Interesting sentiment P27...I do believe that recently Mo'L quoted(to the politcos of both nations)...it's a daunting task...similar to 'm**ing l*ve' to the queen~ an honour(sure) but will it be pleasurable<?... Quite!
I have no idea what wans response was...

I think the politco/diplomat/socio/econo factors are playing out their hands...again
Although still regarded as the `last oupost of the empire' the oc6 must surely be high on the agenda...albeit 'the great white nkosi over the sea' still pervades a maternal attitude to that issue...is the sunset fast approaching?.

It's strinkingly similar to SA history in the last few years of apartheid...well when blossoms will bloom in November?...until 'that epic day'(26 +6 tricolour)only the rivers shall run free
yet the ice is defiantly thawing from harsh anglo tempest...and may that fine old woman Will have her 4 green fields again

I watched and cringed, as Glatlol rightly says, the Queen who is now pretty adept at putting on a face [even when bored] had a 'puss' on her all through our Presidents Speech. He is eloquent, articulate and fiercly intellectual, but his father was a Freedom fighter and happily he did bring that up in the House of commons. I don't want to harbour hatred and it's good that we are trying to mend bridges but there was something absolutely grotesque and nauseating watching Sir Terry Wogan and McGuiness at the table, my worst moment I think was Enda looking distinctly uneasy [I was praying he wouldnt give one of his fame air punches at Phillip] and Eamonn Gilmore [once Socialist and left wing for the Comrades] ride in the Gilded open Carriage.
Was I the only one who thought there was something 'cap in hand' about our speech ?

Talk of the 1916 commemorations having a monarch from Britain sitting has cause the uproar that would be expected.

The past is the past..but some people will find it hard to watch someone who was head of state of a country that less than 50 years ago put its army on the streets of their own people, commemorate what..the freedom for 26 out of 32 counties..Something nobody in this country can actually agree on.

biggest joy of all is..yes we gained freedom..only to hand it over to the EU.

some might say..the past could possibly become the future..and a union may come about..but chosen and for our benefit this time.

Cos when it boils down to it...tomorrow if the drone boy or the arabs decided thats it ireland is their new military base...and queenie and her crew offered us their army and manpower...?

Whats the difference Fifi... Personally I don't see any.

I get where you are going though one could eat your own face out of bitterness and honour, but end of the day we all roamed around and civilisations were made and modern day society is what it is, we have to get over the past eventually.

Heres the thing...a future britain and a future Ireland, why not send Kate and Wills n little baba Georgie..not the po faced aul bag that most have the problem with, because when she is dead and gone they will be the future.

selling your soul to devil is a hard choice which devil to pleasure..cos lets face it..republic of ireland in modern day society is a joke, we cant stand alone.

Ireland has more than enough natural resources to pay for herself
