    Yes, he was very fulsome and sweet in what he said, which made me feel bad for having made fun of him.
    I am confused. Dobby seems much admired by the general populace but I can't take a President who looks like a Harry Potter elf and is roughly the same size in any way seriously (even if he did say nice things about your uncle).

    Didn't you all vote for him, though? I've no idea how these things work, to be honest. Much simpler just having a monarch.

    I actually didn’t vote for him (I declined to vote at all) and further when I explained to my inquisitive neighbour that I had failed to do so she told me off on the basis of “how could anybody not like Michael D”.

    It was in effect the suburban Dublin 16 equivalent of a vicious row.

    I do wonder if he's capable of seeing over the top of a bar in order to get his round in, sw, I must admit.

    I thought that was what bar stools were for.

    We all voted for him in much the same way as the UK all voted for Brexit. He had more supporters than anyone else.

    I find him quite laughable.

    From memory I recall the opposition not being what one may call the strongest.

    There was the dragon from Dragons Den, Dana and Martin McGuinness.

    God knows who is up next time.

    Dana? Why do I get the sense you people aren't taking this whole President thing, seriously?

    It's not exactly a powerful position. Ceremonial at best with one very minor exception.

    It was my primary reason for not bothering my hole (factor in pure laziness also).

    Dana, a bloke who looks suspiciously like another bloke from Harry Potter, a retired IRA man and a dragon. Further analysis shows other entrants including a bloke called Gay and a gay bloke called David.

    And as Lar has suggested above it isn’t really a position of any real power or influence from what I can tell.

    I think the wee man got into a bit of bother over the Xmas when your man Castro died and he offered fulsome sympathy and condolences on behalf of the people of Ireland.
