Bloody tourists
We have an American touring Ireland at the moment.
Somehow he’s bringing the island to a standstill. Or rather so far he’s managed to bring Dublin to a standstill [which is fairly typical of Dublin any weekday anyway] and today he’s virtually shutting down the county of Mayo.
He claims he’s Irish, but then so does every American. I bet that wherever he goes he’s going to claim he is a true son of wherever that country is. I believe he has managed to piss the UK off by his claims of Irish ancestry, but they needn’t worry – next time he visits the UK he’ll be as British as the King [who is as German or Greek as our tourist is Irish].
I went to watch a programme on the telly last night. I went into the local channel but my programme had been dumped in favour of a live broadcast of this tourist making a speech. I watched for about ten minutes and frankly I haven’t a fucking clue what he was on about. I think he must have lost his script or something and was ad libbing by introducing all his mates who had traveled with him and telling us little anecdotes about each of them.
Our politicians positively lapped up every word and glowed every time he mentioned how Irish he was which he seemed to do frequently even in the middle of a completely unrelated topic. They were having little orgasms at every mention. But then they are a load of gullible idiots.
His rambling was so baffling that I think even he got lost a few times. But then the poor chap is in his dotage so I left him to it and watched “Better Call Saul” instead..
At least I could follow that.
And he complimented the Irish rugby team for beating the Black and Tans. The man is a moron.
Be fair – you have to admit that senility is a bugger that can affect us all at his advanced age?
Could you say that again. Slowly.
You’re right. But not all of us senile buggers have our fingers on the BIG RED BUTTON.
“our fingers on the BIG RED BUTTON”… That sounds like a crude euphemism?
“The man is a moron.”
Give credit where credit is due.
(I think you got it right on the money.)
Yeah, we had the same tourist up here, preceded for days by strange men with hearing aids peering under every manhole cover, into every post box, and even inside lamp posts! They leave little seals on each of them. He doesn’t appear to be a bad little old man, but the disruption caused by his passing is amazing!
Note I’ve used my nickname to end the confusion with the other Ian. Have a good weekend.
How come I don’t get the same treatment when I am about to visit somewhere? Do they not value my life?
Meanwhile in the Ukraine how many non NATO fighters got killed?
If Brandon had any nous he would know that he has been got out of his home country for a reason.
I bet Doctor Jill knows.
Your rambling tourist may indeed be in his senile dotage, but it seems that he’s the best the Democrats can currently offer.
Given that he’s already 80 (albeit acting like a 90+ dementia case) they reckon he’s good for another four-year term as ‘leader of the free world’ and custodian of probably the biggest nuclear arsenal on the planet.
If a nation of 350m people can’t come up with a candidate better than bumbling Begorrah Biden, then it says much more about the US political system than it does about him, Irish-blooded or not.
I’m convinced that there was a terrible case of monkey business going on in that election.
It’s not the votes that count, it’s who is counting the votes that matters.
It’s heartening to know that Kamala is fiddling around at home, and in charge of the US while the old chap wanders around a place where he will have something like 50,000 second, third, fourth etc., cousins!
Has he got the red button with him, or does she have the key to the box next to her laptop?
As far as I’m concerned, Ireland can keep the doddering old fool.
Thaks, but no thanks. We sent him back.
I see he brought his dodgy son along. Wonder who’s he been talking to?
“He claims he’s Irish, but then so does every American.”
Not me because I’m not–Irish that is. I’m made up of a bit of French, a bit of English, and the rest is all German Jew. And I’m not what you me call religious in any way, shape, or form. Guess that makes me a right mixed up old fellow?
It could explain a whole lot.
In other words, a mongrel. Like the rest of us.
