  2. Perhaps the Queen might humble herself and offer an apology for the royal destruction of Ireland or at least belt out a few verses of Danny Boy.
    It was nice seeing her and the pope side by side in a display of a united Christian front what an unholy sight that was for the supremacist Orange Order. Now the poor loyalists have to face the snub as their idol commits blasphemy gracing the Free State. I think she prefers Jameson’s instead of the good old Bushmills?
    Though it is a good opportunity for our wee leaders in the north to make up for giving the- cold-shoulder to the pope hopefully we get to see them groveling to her majesty.
    That would be a sight to behold PSF bowing to Liz, maybe a few knighthoods will be in order.
    Fair play to Liz for sparing us all and hanging on to the throne bonnie prince charley is certainly not amused, as he is not mummy’s favourite though if he were king Brain would have a field day with his art.

  6. michaelhenry, I wonder how may wee-buns Marty shoved down his throat at the Tory conference?

  8. A real woman is a mans best friend,she will never stand him up and never let him down,she will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.she will inspire to do things he never thought he could do she will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires she will make him feel confident and sexy seductive and invincible....NO wait....I,m thinking of cider ..the next time you see a pic of the Chilean miners, look out for the wee guy(probably related to Mickeyboy) who,s never smiling.he,s the one who forgot to clock on....Bob doh brains bought 2 horses,but cant remember which ones which,he cut the tail of one which worked great untill the other horse caught its tail in a bush and looked excatly like the other,Gerry Itwasntme suggests he nicks the ear of one horse which worked great untill the other horse caught its ear on barbed wire Gerry Itwasntme suggests Bob measures the horses heights and he was delighted to find that the black one was 2 inches taller than the white one...

    It is the other way about Mickey has to slip them a few quid all he gets in return is a few stale buns and the right to regurgitate the usual lines.

    “Sin é” how true that rings the cartoon and your comment both reflect Ockham's razor simple and to the point.

    There are a few translation sites that are handy enough for short phrases in Irish they are not always correct but close enough to get the gist.

  11. "No need for a slutty/dirty Queen in Ireland" is my bog-translation of the motto across FTQ.

    Now you are just being polite your bog-slogan might have the blessing of quite a few loyalists.

  14. Mickeyboy Tain Bo was just being polite as usual in his ref to your usual lines I prefer to call it a broken record...

  15. Tainbo, they are going to be looking a few quid from all of us.
    Marty McGuinness was relegated to the side room in the Tory/Lib,Dem conference.
    The Brits are about to let us know who really holds the power here shortly. The worst economic blackspot in the 'United Kingdom' looks set to get worse.
    Take heart though, Martin Miller recently painted ssuch a rosy and altruistic picture of the water board bosses, that leaves only one conclusion. The poor should now consider themselves lucky to be ripped off by people with all that integrity!

    “Regurgitate “the” usual lines.”

    What PSF feeds the faithful the faithful throw up as the gospel of Gerry and like all political parties they have their usual lines. My personal favourite being “what is the alternative non- PSF republicans can offer.”
    Indeed what is the alternative to a totalitarian superior line like that? Perhaps my eyesight and my ears are not the best though my own poor translation would be PSF are party to our newfound democracy and as long as they are at the helm there is no room onboard for non PSF republicans. A party forged in blood now vilifies not just the militant republicans out there but all republicans who don’t agree with PSF.
    It is a grand excuse that the “dissidents” the non PSF republicans are the greatest threat to peace in reality PSF consider them the greatest threat to their control.
    One alternative the non PSF republicans hold is the right not to participate in a political system simply by not voting a peaceful protest.
    Why should they vote for a party that has disparaged so many in order that they may say to their paymaster’s democracy is working?

    I am pretty confident the leaders won’t go without as for the rest of us we will be on the tap looking for a shilling to put in the meter.

    Marty

    The broken record ages you but give Mickey credit he is a one man wrecking crew when it comes to promoting the party.

  19. Tain Bo my favourite is" move on "

    ReplyDelete
  20. yeah Tain Bo if psf were a comic then I suppose our Mickryboy would be Dennis the menace.

  21. Marty

    “Move on” that one could be construed in a few ways considering many have done so and moved on from the PSF platform.

  22. Marty & Tainbo you are such cynics!
    If you go to www.youtube/watch?V=sCPPIASTA8 Interview with an ex IRA member, all will become clear.

    copy it to the search bar at the top of the page.
    It is funny.

  25. He appears smug rather than confident it would be interesting to view the complete interview.
    In fairness the video is edited which makes it easy game for ridicule.
    From what we see I am not convinced he believes his own words, as the “we” got what “we” don’t want statement politically makes no sense.

  26. Tainbo, I think you are right, we are forming an opinion on a small section of a recording.
    To be honest though, he is such good value for it

  27. Nuala,

    That interview was amazing. I know him well, like him, but this was delusional. Like Albert, I was dumbstruck.

  28. Mackers,
    I emailed him a few weeks back in relation to the internment cases. We were told on very good authority that Coiste had been telling people, that anyone who had kept a 'clean sheet' so to speak since being released from internment were the ideal candidates for a test case against the Brits.
    My other half was really annoyed over this, so I emailed Micky to try and find out if it was true.
    Of course he denied it and suggested that I put our source in the picture.
    I suggested to him, that maybe it should be the people who get very well paid to do the jobs in Coiste who should be put in the picture.
    Spoke to the source again and he was very clear that he was told, the ideal candidates are those with a 'clean sheet'

  29. The way things are going these days Nuala, I’m afraid. Clean sheets only.
