I'd forgotten that, when Her Majesty met McGuinness, he asked how she was and

she replied archly 'Well, I'm still alive'. :hehe: :clap:

He didn't bow :-(

Surely that's a declaration of war?

you clearly haven't as many Irish people on Facebook as I do. This was liked by a lot of people - though I find it hard to believe that thick **** McClean was capable of putting so many words together

Wonderful words from James McClean.
'Writing this with a heavy heart. Bad week just getting worse. Woke to the passing of Martin just now.
'I'm not going to shy away in expressing either how I feel - not only was he a hero of mine, someone I looked up to, a man that has done so much for Irish people and Irish peoples' freedom right to the very the end, he was also a good friend and someone I had the pleasure of having a good relationship with. 'A man I met so many times, had the privilege to share many a great conversation with, a man that always text me before games wishing me luck, a man that through the well documented tough times off the field always let me know how brave I was standing by my beliefs, that I never was alone because i had his support and backing always.
'You will be sorely missed Martin. A great leader, a great hero and above all a great man... thinking on all your loved ones.. beannacht agus buíochas a ghabháil leat mo chara.'

You don't think that Her Britannic Majesty, appointed by God Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India, is worthy of respect?

No, I don't suppose you do.

Respect, for sure. I would like to think I would treat any old lady of her age with respect and courtesy.

Bow? Have a word with yourself.
