Maybe he really likes Danny Boy?
Maybe he’s not a media whore.
You obviously didn’t see Michael on BBC last night
No. Was it good?
He curtseyed where necessary. Shame they didnt invite Barnes.
John Bruton. (I’m aware it’s highly likely that this is a repeat nomination)
What did he do now
No mention of George Hook so far. Whilst he hasn’t been honoured or formally employed by the Tans, so far, the evidence against him is pretty damning. Not only is he one of the most vocal and unapologetic anglophiles around but he also worked in the catering business for about 20 years, no doubt making all the soup that he intends on taking whenever Lizzy Windsor decides to make him Lord Windarse for his lifetime contribution to bluffoonery and shitetalking.
Quarter of an hour on the news there about WW1. It’s the main item. RTE - the war was a hundred fucking years ago. There’s a war going on in Gaza that you could be reporting on honestly if ye had the bottle. Instead of trying to rewrite history. The boys who fought in the World War were caught on the wrong side when the gates of history came down. That’s the way of the world - it happens all the time. History always has it’s winners and losers. All this whataboutery and pointless gestures won’t change their lot in life.
Needless to say there was a handful of attention seeking cunts from Kilkenny standing at the Menin gate with a Kilkenny flag. The Kilkenny Great War Committee. Hardly any surprise. Ernie O’Malley had to be sent down there in 1921 to gee the cunts into action, so pitiful had been their contribution to the National cause.
Fuck sake there’s more of it now.

Fuck sake Dobbo is still at it. He’s lining up for 4 years of this. A cunt on there from the Royal Dublin Fusiliers Association said its wrong to try and judge the reasons why people signed up for the British Army. He then went to say that it would however be wrong to say that any of them signed up for King and country.
More news on World War 1 as we get it.
They will line out in all their pomp for this shite while turning a blind eye to the goings on in Gaza. Pure scutter.
This.

Meanwhile Channel 4 news (which is splendid) used to commemoration to draw links to the current Gaza war and went so far as to say how Britain’s promise to the Jews to create an Israeli state is a major factor on this current war.
Of course they could draw obvious parallels to our own history, with the plantations, and to hell or to Connacht and the Penal Laws and even the famine, but I imagine that might either upset the English or the Israelis, so that wouldn’t be allowed.
It is too. Balfour was it? A great book to read is Jerusalem by Simon Sebag Montefiore. The history of the place is nuts.
has Aiden O’Brien been mentioned yet? he nearly gets down on his hands and knees every time he meets the queen or phil, Vincent O’Brien was an awful soup taker too, every hear the accent on him
Sinn Fein
[I]The party’s two best-known figures, Gerry Adams, the party leader, and Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister, jointly claimed expenses of £3,600 a month to rent a shared two-bedroom flat in north London. A local estate agent, who knows the properties, said a fair monthly rent for the flat would be £1,400.
The three other Sinn Fein MPs together claimed £5,400 a month to rent a shared, modern town house, which the estate agent said would rent on the open market for around £1,800 a month. At other times some of the MPs have stayed in a third property, another two-bedroom flat.
The five Sinn Fein MPs have claimed more than £310,000 in five years from the public purse by submitting receipts from one man, an Irish landlord living in London, and his family.[/I]
