‘Iris and her hubby have shown themselves to be incredibly shrewd almost formidable.’

Not so sure about Iris, but Peter for sure.

Good one Marty - Lady GAA GAA. Must steal it.

Good article David,

I wouldn't worry too much about what Martin Samuel thinks.

He that after the first game of the recently ended English Premier League season wrote the following balance and perpicatious article:

Andy Carroll had his chance and blew it at Old Trafford

Carroll since went on to play for his country (and score) before moving to Liverpool for £35million.

There are a lot of useful idiots in the right wing media.

Mackers,
Iris and her hubby have shown themselves to be incredibly shrewd almost formidable.
Who would have thought, that last years events could or would have turned so dramatically.
They must have been reading Adam's latest, shit to roses best seller, well it should be a best seller the formula definitely worked for him.

Jim, no idea either.

Aye South some funny statements last week! my favourite was "god save the queen" or as she is known now Lady GAA GAA!

Sent a post a few minutes ago and for some strange reason it went in under the name 'south'. I have no idea how this happened but it should have been under Jim McAllister. not the greatest on computers so I don't know what I have doneto cause that.

2011-05-21T19:05:31.698+01:00

A good article. A few very strange days there with even stranger claims such as 'this visit means we have now matured as a republic'? or 'the visit has strengthened our sovereignty.' No explanation of what these claims mean or how they are to be proven.The 32 counties Irish republic is a distant, very, very distant, possibility at the moment and the 26 county republic is equally hard to se.

Larry,

middle aged more like it!!

Nuala,

she is a German who was sixteen when she dated him, and Tommy Gorman used to give her dog's abuse about him being a paedo! She would just laugh at it.

Mary I laughed at the sight of Brady head honcho of the catholic church in Ireland at the Dublin knees up for Liz the brit, I mean doesnt he realise none of his kids can ever becone king/queen?but maybe he was there to promote the churchs new brand of chocolate....under eights!

Mackers,
'So Long Marianne' is one of my favourite all time songs. I never knew it was based on anyone in particular, so jealous, who was it?

michaelhenry
think everyone a lttle sedated after those recent events. Except the professional protesters, they should take a half day off+ see what its like to be positive.

The head of state of your country was here at the invitation of the head of state of Ireland. SF who recognise and participate in both partitionist parliaments resorted to abstentionism. Methinks Rory O'Braidaidh [excuse my spelling?] must be dizzy with confusion. Classic comedy.

Saint?MaryHedgehog,

always found Cohen brilliant and I had the pleasure of meeting Marianne, the inspiration behind So Long Marianne.

Nuala,

I tend to think of Iris without clothes (horrible thought that it is) rather than with them. In any event few would have cared about her affair - it is her own affair as we might say. Her hypocrisy pushed people over the edge.

RE: 'Seamus O Connell of the Humanist Association; he said “as we remember the greatest calamity ever to befall this country, we may ponder on the mismanagement and neglect, as much as the failure of the potato crop”.'

No need to ponder - the facts are there It was genocide pure & simple. Personally I am glad it was not attended by them as the tokenism would be equally as appalling as the Croke Park appearance.

RE. '...The Windsor visit is wrong in many ways.'
Yes but the apathy en masse of the Irish people have ensured the shackles are tightened... Pathed the way for the travesty spectacle to take place.

Larry & Anthony hehehe one must never lose their deep insights by succumbing to happiness!
Leonard Cohen music is brilliant in a twisted way. Pass the razor blades someone. Fuell for the morbidly predisposed to angst ones. I wearied of hearing it after working in rehab places where middle class, navel gazing junkies reveled in the soothing morbidity of its silky doomed cleverness.

2011-05-20T23:41:35.000+01:00

Mackers,
look on the bright side, look what the visit has done for Irish trade and industry.
Apparently, the shop that sold Iris Robinson her 'coming out' dress has been inundated with requests for the dress, the new fashion 'must have'.
If copies of Iris's dress are exported to the South, I'm sure the Southern economy will recover in next to no time.

2011-05-20T22:57:59.368+01:00

I can see some acuracy in Samuels remarks. Celtic support becoming tiresome too and i'm a fan, with their chants non stop. British withdrawal would be a step forward? oh yeah? Can norn iron or the free state go it alone? Not from what I see. EEC pick up the pieces....? they already are!
I was astonished to fnd myself actually enjoying the coverage of the Queens visit. I'm for the present at least going to give eternal bellyaching a miss for a wee while.
What a fukn depressing article mackers!!
Bright side...a SF rep shook the Queens hand, but it's ok michaelhenry..she wasn't wearing the crown at the time. GET IT RITE UP YE!!

A cúpla focal from Liz the brit and the gombeen class led by Mc Alease are salivating, what a parcel of rouges the whole f##kin lot,I thought the warm welcome Liz the brit would recieve in Ireland would be from semtex,I believe it gives of a colosal amount of heat when ignited!
