Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6I see that we can be expecting a lot more traffic through Shannon over the coming months. It is wonderful to see so much business coming our way, especially after all the recent redundancies in the Shannon area.
I will be there with my camera to take photos of those wonderful planes. I am sure that I won't be the only one looking forward to it.
I hope that the media ignore Margaretta "Prune Face" D'Arcy this time around like they did to the hippies at Shannon two weeks ago. After the Salthill Airshow I saw D'Arcy's ugly mug on the TV and thought I was watching a Richard Attenborough documentary. Whew, for the sake of the environment, please wear a bag on your head this weekend.
Environmentally yours,

Why don't you go to Shannon, forget the camera and wave a flag- stars and stripes, do it for 24 hours.
You then could get your ur mug on TV- this I guarantee- news show always are searching for silly whacko pieces to finish on.
You'd be a star in all the us military bases. A pin up boy maybe..
And if anything ever does happen in Shannon, the media would use you as a scapegoat rather then Bertie and the boys.. More Fame for your face...
Go on post a picture, i'd love to see you
Hello S,
Did your parents think your birth certificate was charged by the number of letters in your name?
Why don't yourself, Margaretta and Mary Kelly go out to the end of the runway and moon the US military planes as they are landing. I'd love to see that.
I would even bring my own camera crew to film you.
Robert.
Robert opened an orifice to say:

But Robert, what about Ireland's official policy of military neutrality? I can see how a moral imbecile might relish a job cleaning toilets for the USAF, but surely you wouldn't condone an illegal act?
Further, how many jobs have been created, what type are they, what's the pay? How many job losses in what period are you referring to. How many jobs have to be created to make up for those? Is that a sustainable strategy? Why does the USAF use Shannon as a base instead of N.I. or Wales? Is this traffic guaranteed to continue? What ramifications will it have for sales of Irish agricultural produce to Arab countries?
In other words, given that you've got time to cast personal insults, do you also have the time to find out if your opinions bear any relation to reality?
Environmentally not-yours,
Phuq.
Hi there Phuq,
I am very sorry that I cannot entertain or answer any questions put by someone with a name like Phuq Head!
