    I just think it shows how much the "elite" are out of touch with the ordinary person. I can think of many ways the money could be better spent.

    Even if she collapsed, the next **** in line would probably bend down and shake her twitching hand

    This is possibly the biggest load of bollix i've seen. How many people have been invited to this "state dinner" that actually have to place to be there.

    You have the brothers best friends wife of our ambassador to San Marino - in walks a hefty red headed Irish Heffer in a horrific dress you wouldn't wear to the bog.

    Not to mention Biffo Cowen and Bertie.

    What the f*ck is Willie Walsh doing there?

    I hope Michael O'Leary is invited, one of Ireland's most successful business man.

    I cannot understand why people who already met her today are in the queue again. She met the Government ministers today so they should be off this list.

    It's actually difficult to watch at this stage. I'd be embarrassed shaking her hand seeing how uncomfortable she looks
    I doubt she's uncomfortable with it as she's probably had to do it hundreds if not thousands of times in the past.

    What i don't like is keeping them on their feet for so long at their age.

    Does all this hand-shaking and ego-stroking really need to be broadcast live on tv? Couldn't they just show her speech? That's all anyone wants to see I'd imagine.

    Nah, I find it interesting to see who was considered 'great and good' enough to meet her. A love in indeed. Cowen, Bertie and the Papal Nuncio ffs
    Iris Robinson first public appearance:p
