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

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.

[Sir C]

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

A bow is a customary sign of respect afforded a monarch. 'Have a word with yourself' is no argument against the maintenance of tradition and politeness.

I would be the embodiment of politeness. Bowing just seems a little silly, she is nothing superior to or better than me.

:shrug: She is inestimably superior to you in every way, obviously, being English, but that's irrelevant. She's superior to even English people, what with her being THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND FOR FÚCK'S SAKE.

What about scraping? Should one scrape also? It seems that the two go together.

I don't really know what scraping is, a, but if Her Majesty requires it, I should be delighted to scrape away.

I see. What about when she dies? I mean after the wailing and gnashing of teeth which will accompany her sad passing - and that son of hers who is considerably less popular gets to finally have a go? (And I don't for a moment believe that he will not take it up as some hope). Will you love him as much?

Unfortunately, he's been around long enough for us to form an opinion on the fellow separate to his status as heir. Not that that's insurmountable, of course. Edward VII was widely disliked, but turned out to be a half-decent King.

But the problem with Charles is that he's bright enough to have views on things, but not bright enough to have good ones or at the very least to keep the bloody things to himself. I will honour him as my liege Lord and Sovereign, of course, but will separate that from his person.

It's nothing to do with 'loving' anyone. He will be king, and as such will be due the deference of his subjects. Hopefully he will be a good king.

Will Camilla be Queen then?

The fúcking state of her.

[Sir C]

Oh, quite possibly. I've no issues with that, certainly.

Come the New Regime, the espousal or suggestion of republican sentiment will be punishable by breaking at the wheel.

[Sir C]

The fúcking state of her.

I believe that the suspected constitutional issues have been overcome and that she will indeed be queen.

I have no idea why you would wish to be rude about someone who has done nothing to you, about whom you know nothing, and who has no opportunity to defend herself against. It's mean-spiritedness and cowardice. #irishnationalsports

I am not being rude at all, simply suggesting she is one of the ugliest chicks I have ever seen, ergo "the fúcking state of her".

Anyway if she is to be Queen then how come the Greek bloke is not King?

It's an atavistic business, monarchy, sw. It's about your connection to the place and its institutions and traditions - all of which (and more) is embodied in the monarch.

And, at the end of the day, it's still better than having some Hobbit cûnt as Head of State.

That's a shame, because she told me she thinks you look like Brad Pitt's more attractive brother.

Male primogeniture, innit. Geezers are toppermost but you can't be toppermostest except by blood.

[Burney]

Oh don't worry, I am in no rush to defend or "honour" that wee shítehawk either.

Yes, having said I'd be nice about him after he said nice things about my uncle, his fawning nonsense about McGuinness today have made me revert to my former position. Fücking Jim Henson, Labyrinth-looking prick.

Although Philip of Spain was Joint Sovereign. We don't mention that. Although ironically, he did help revolutionise our navy :hehe:

But so many of our constitutional 'rules' are quite modern, really, aren't they? Victoria was responsible for many of our ancient customs. We've done awfully well to keep the monarchy up to date and relevant.

Have to admit it's all a bit silly mind you, all this nonsense about Royalty and being in some way special or superior when a fit bit of snatch like your one that married the oldest son can just fúck her way to the top table?

[Sir C]

It's a question of history, of stability, a matter of decency, honour and loyalty, about something bigger than oneself.

Oh, yes. The myth of ancient, time-honoured ritual is just that. Much of our ceremonial only dates back that far. I think it was that Guardian article that pointed out that quite a lot of Royal occasions often descended into farce.

But it doesn't matter who they are, sw. It's what they are that counts. God forbid, but you could discover that you are by rights next in line to the throne and the fact that, meaning no offence, you're a ghastly bog-trotter with no more idea of how to behave than a retarded Jack Russell would make no difference to the fact that I would respect you as King. That's how it works.

To be fair to her, any woman who says over the phone to the bloke she's shagging while her husband and family are at home 'I want to live in your trousers' deserves a bit of a nod imo.
