Everything. As It Happens.
The poor, unfortunate gobshite!
Which one ?
What a load of bo*lox..
His Irish connection is tenuous at best.
But sure he has a transport system named in his honour!
Bollocks; he qualifies for an Irish passport even in the stringent post-2006 racial identity criteria.
That said, I wouldn’t take a knighthood unless it was roshambo rules and I got first go on the sword.
I dunno Johnny
If they offered me one I’d take it
Sur its a grand day out
That’s interesting. Any time I’ve seen an Irish person take one (not DDL obvs cos he’s also very English), I’ve always assumed it’s a rational choice not to piss off the cliques that would cry foul if it was turned down – the same kind of morons that were on at James McClean about the poppy – but that only makes sense if your career is dependent on their custom/acceptance.
Luckily, I haven’t much of a career and I can barely arise out of arse today, so there’s little danger of me having to make the call.
Ah but ya see Johnny
As I’m directly descended from The High Kings of Munster, Royalty and Aristocratic trappings will come naturally t’me.

Just SHAVE it, William!
You’re bald. Deal with it.
^This.
He can well afford a transplant, in fairness.
I wish he’d do a few more movies — its a few years now since Lincoln. Come on Sir Dan!
As long as he doesn’t go full Geldof, telling the Scots to stick with the union, saying nationalism is bad, while surrounded by union jacks, then it will be OK.
Would you be well.
DDL has just lost my respect of 24 years. I just think ‘gimp’.
Honorary Irishman becomes Honorable Englishman.
Fairplay in fairness?
Congratulations Sir Dan.
A fine ambassador for Ireland and,by jove,this country certainly needs one.
Kneel before Bod!
