It was ott mind you. Enough to make mcsweeney turn in his grave.

As I say, rebel county me hole.

Their football and hurling teams should look for sponsorship from the Royal Mail. Their red always reminds be of the post boxes up north, so perfect fit colour-wise!

One would have thought that would be a self evident fact.

They treated the Queen with the courtesy due to any leader of a friendly nation.

Friendly Nations don't invade and occupy a neighbouring Country....

Now don't be posting any sensible comments Catalpa. For shame!

Or maybe no one gives a ************************ any more.

If Lady Gaga had been on walkabout, people (probably a lot more ) would have been out there and going mental.

Just talking to a relative. He was in a " mans " pub in Cork city centre today watching it on tv . When herself stood on top of the steps and waved goodbye spontaneous applause erupted from the 40 or so present , most of them male.

Republicans - if they were respectful of other nationalities choice of government - would have no issue with other nationalities monarchs, while at the same time being opposed to the idea of a monarchy in their own nation.

If republicans were not respectful of other nationalities, well then would then possibly behave like the blithering idiots you describe above. But nobody would care, becuase by definition, they are blithering idiots.
