any sign of the advance party of young fine gael members throwing blossoms on the ground in front of them?
hehe
Nailed it Dav :)
Watered by John Bruton’s tears of happiness
What’s going on with all these visits..
Brexit – they want to move here after it.
It is BREXIT – trying to maintain ties…not least trade….in uncertain times.
The Royal Family is an extension of British commercial and diplomatic interests. I’d say Brexit has a lot to do with it. It’s a 2-way street of course, the Brits for all their faults are probably our main ally in Europe on most issues. No harm in building up a bit of goodwill.
Well, FG want us to join the Commonwealth.
Apart from that, maybe Charles will be the new housing minister. He’s holding that shovel like a true posh boy.
That picture of Charlie staring at the young one in the guna, oh dear….
You got there before me. Are you, in fact, my kindred spirit?
We must be. Always zooming in on the lascivious and the lavatorial
Anyone know who the woman in the top pic, far left, brunette, sleeveless blue/teal dress, is?
Sarah Slazenger I think.
Is it important?
I could tell you but I’d have to kill you afterwards.
Charles urges continued close ties ‘whatever happens’.
Making that statement in Cross or Derry would have been interesting.
And is that Simon taking the day off from the shambles of the health service?
As brexit approaches they seriously need to work and not play stage struck fans of colonial pasts
