Uniting Ireland
So Gerry Adams wants a poll to unite Ireland?
He wants to do away with the border and reunite the two parts of the island?
I suppose I could go along with that.
There are a few advantages, not least of which should be cheaper prices in the shops.
I would also be able to order stuff on line that says UK only.
I even have quite a few Sterling coins lying around that I could finally use.
Can’t see myself ever singing an anthem in praise of the old biddy Queen Biddy though.
never could understand some British Squaddie cunt from a stinking council estate in England asking me
so mate where are you coming from, where are you going.. with a gun in my face.. no loss
Last time that happened to me I asked him if he wanted to jump into the car and claim political asylum in the south. He damn near did.
The bould Gerry and his merry men always did have a funny grasp of economics. We can't afford north iron at the moment, another €20 or €30 billion to run it each year! That might have been ok when we had banks to rob, but the politicians beat us to that one!
And there would be no more nipping across the border for cheap supplies?
As we're discussing fiscal matters, how come we've not heard your comments on the new €5 note complete with a Greek goddess printed on it?

First I have heard of it. Nice of them to give detailed images though. Time to tool up the old printing presses again?
Ah happy days. The control zone, Belfast. 1970's. I remember it well. Still deaf in one ear.
Had two business trips to Belfast.
The first time they put me up in the Balmoral. Second most bombed hotel in the city.
I objected.
So next time they put me up in the Europa. Most bombed hotel in the world.
I don't think they liked me?
The Europa had been bombed 17 times by then 77/78?
Or was it 7 ? I remember a pub, The Harp in the shopping centre. Machine gun holes around the dart board.
A united Ireland makes good sense, always did. Be careful of those proddie bastards though, they can carry a grudge for feckin centuries …
The only people who really benefit are geographers? Makes maps a whole lot neater?
It would benefit Customs too. Bastards.
What about fireworks? Where will I take the kids every Hallowe'en if there is no border?
Don't worry. Any die-hard Unionists will ensure there are lots of fireworks.
It ain't gonna happen any time soon.
Not in my lifetime I would imagine. Am I worried?
You forget that the British throne is a world heritage institution with roots in prehistoric pagan Ireland.
It has evolved into an institution whose only power is the power it denies ambitious megalomaniacs.
Moreover it is a position determined by nature rather than by devious and manipulative politicians.
It may be an ancient institution but for the life of me I can't really see its purpose other than providing fodder for the tabloids. A damned expensive institution too?
£3-06 per person per annum according to the anti-monarchists who beefed up the figures from 50p per person per annum!
I suppose I could just about stretch to that if I had to, but I would rather not!
