what a pretentious wanker

What's it worth?

What's the point of being legal, decent, honest and truthful?

It's political Ireland's Ground Zero.

I heard it has every tree in north dublin on its property

I recognise the guy on the horse but who are the two guys in the horse suit? Is that Bertie as the horse's arse and Clowan as the head? Or the other way around? It's hard to tell.

The horse was bestowed the name Ireland.

So the motto "Ex libris/marte nostro" translates as "from books"/"by our (own) effort".
Some people are suggesting the "Ex libris" was intended as a placeholder, like lorem ipsum...

Anyway, it seems the standard Haughey coat of arms wasn't enough for CJ - he applied to the Chief Herald to have his own granted in 1966. http://www.independent.ie/national-news/rich-man-poor-man-beggar-man-418268.html

God I'd love to buy the house just to fly the Union Jack over it for a few years.

Brilliant

And the EU twelve stars and the multi-coloured striped gay pride one, just to add to the gaiety of nations

And in other news the Gaddafi family have expressed their outrage at an error in the sales brochure which claimed that the north African leader had once stayed at Abbeville. "Call him a despot or a murdering Ba****d but don't associate him with that toe-rag" said the spokesman for the Gaddafi family.
