I got very upset. I wrote to lots of friends in the Artic circle to say
"stop this hurtling mass of danger, from crashlanding on yourselves".
"what dangerous cargo might it carry?"

I also remember in the Young Fine Gael debacle making slight reference to the etyomolgy of the word Bodach meaning rich man, an bodach mór is a very important person whose etymological roots lie in description of penises.

Baldonnel is one of our airport resources.
I believe it predated the treaty obligations of the Irish British settlement of 1922.
and thus can not be considered a port in the usual sense of the word at all.

Jolly good show for them to help out Santa, eh?

Thanks to the lickspittle efforts of Bertrude and her spineless cohorts in traitorism.

If you enjoyed the Brittisch Occupation of Ireland, well, you'll just LOVE the Yankee Occupation now well underway - maybe the Brits were just over on a flying visit to give the new Übermenschen some helpful tips on subjugating the disorderly natives around Shannon and Knock Airports.

A friend who knows a sandbagger said this flight left Bessbrook at 8am this morning for Baldonnell. Don't know what they did at Baldonnell but routed back along the coast about 3 hours later. Perhaps the state monitors of this site might like to explain?

I have a friend in the MOD in Dublin who says its something to do with a new radar site at baldonnell which was needed as a back up to flying dales in yorkshire for the new ICBM shield the british and americans are building.
