    The Queen shaking hands with crowds on the packed streets of Cork. You can't buy this sort of advertising. Dublin = Scum lighting bins on fire, Cork = friendly welcome!:pac: Im only messing in Dublin the republican scum wouldn't have had much numbers in Dublin if it wasn't for the scum from the inner city joining them.:pac:


    Yeah and the reason she got a great welcome in Cork was cause they also shag their family members...:p:pac:

    Don't recall seeing ordinary folk waving the apron in Dublin:D

    When she bowed her head earlier in the week with the wreath, it was predominately Corkmen she gave homage to, we just acknowledged that. :)

    I wonder will the junkies be back out to protest over Obama. Its one thing protesting against the British Queen wearing British football jerseys but rioting at an Anti-War protest will just take the biscuit :pac:

    Apart from the inner city scum the Dublin visit wen't okay too.With the dole cut,job reactivation schemes being introduced and the queen visiting Ireland it's been a bad year for Anto and the lad's.:pac:

    I have to say Im sickened by the angle sky news has used in regards to the visit. Their whole angle has been "Irish anti visit" and "irish cause problems in dublin" ect!

    I dont think there were any Union Jacks being waved by the public of Cork! Cant pass the buck that quick Im afraid!

    You'll find that when Queen Victoria visited Dublin and the Union Jack flags were being waved they were by Cork people who went to the capital to see their Queen !:D:D

    I think you'll find that this was John Creedon :):):)

    That moment in Patrick Street will certainly have meant Cork comes out of this visit and the coverage far better than Dublin.

    Cork - sunny and friendly
    Dublin - grey and empty (plus a few skangy rioters)

    Would you expect anything else from Sky News?!

    On the BBC News homepage right now, there is not one single mention of the Queen's visit to Ireland.

    Did anybody notice the lady at the English market with the placard? She touched the queen when she was passing. How the hell did she get in there and I'd love to know what the Placard read... Anybody know?

    My head hurts, and the graves of Barry, Hurley, Mac Suibhne, MacCurtain and all the rest have turned. So this, a competition between Cork and Dublin over who can be the most sycophantic to the British queen, is what has become of the so-called "rebel" county? From the sweet mellifluous Irish of Baile Bhuirne to the sean nós tradition of Cúil Aodha to the poetry of Eoghan Rua Ó Súilleabháin and the poetic class which inspired Daniel Corkery's Hidden Ireland to the heroism of the people of Cork who fought against British colonial rule in Cath Chéim an Fhia, Kilmichael and Crossbarry - what of those noble, selfless sons and daughters of Cork and Ireland now? Where is their place in the new Cork?

    In the new Cork, according to Mr Cork Man (Eoghan Harris?), being more keen on the British royal family is a sign of its superiority to Dublin. Graves turning everywhere where a true Cork person is buried.

    Just heard that QE2 would like to return, obviously that wouldn't be a state visit just a regular holiday at Coolmore!
