Sam has it right. Bertle spends so much time with his snout in the tabloids that he forgets that in a Republic all citizens are supposed to be equal. He moans that Irish citizens are gonged by her Britannic Majesty and not 'recognised' at home. So, has "Sir" Anthony O'Reilly been leaning on him? And has this anything at all to do with HM's visit next year?

Too bad only bloggers read blogs…

Ah, that's not bitterness, Macdara. That's anger.

Mary: Howya Twenty.

Sam PBC: Not sure about that. Don't the French have the Legion d'Honneur, the Croix de Guerre and all the rest of it? And I think they have some sort of medals in the States too, don't they?
