pretty funny article.
:D :DQuote:
But surely Ireland is rapidly becoming the world leader in pointless pickets by assorted lefties and malcontents for no particular reason? Higgins protests. (Well, he would, wouldn't he?)
Yeah, if you mean in a laugh at the hack, rather than with him. Is that the same Will Hanafin who produces/ pontificates on Ray Darcy? Didn't know he wrote for the Sindo, but it makes perfect sense that he does!Quote:

I see attempted humour, not much else.
I thought it was ok. Certainly many of his targets deserve to be lampooned.
Curate's egg. Funny in places, but waaaay too long to keep it up (nearly 3,000 words) and I was losing interest half-way through. The glass half-empty gag is good, though.

MEMBERS OF the public planning to get a glimpse of the Queen or even meet her next week as she travels around the Republic will be disappointed by a decision to ban onlookers from the streets outside all of her visit locations.
While US president Barack Obama is to make a public address in Dublin during his visit the week after next, and may greet some of the crowd like former US president Bill Clinton did in 1995, the public will be kept well away from the Queen because of concerns for her safety.
Reports that members of the public were even making plans to get a glimpse still to be confirmed.
On the bright side, everyone who's ever chanted at Derry "whats it like to have a queen?" will soon get to find out! Ye's are in for a treat!
People used to shout that at me and my neighbours when Graham Norton was living in our apartment block...
I think it would be absolutely class if at some point during her visit hundreds of LOI fans gathered and chanted "What's it like to be the Queen?" at her.
Not as class as it would be if she got the joke!Quote:

Would be if we could drive, or even walk, through many parts of our own bloody capital city!Quote:

Maaaaaaa'am.
ha ha yeah Joe would absolutely destroy him. I'd love to see that!
Who knows, the woman's a loose cannon. Seriously though, I think the diplomacy which in once sense is to be welcomed here is going the other way in this regard.Quote:

I see that she's due to pay tribute to the Boys (and Girls) of the Old Brigades, the Fenian Brotherhood etc, in the Garden of Remembrance.
