I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean by AHOHT. I probably should know but I can't quite figure it out.

I'm just surprised that in Mondays "Debate" our wee Marty didnt throw at Michael Daniel Higgins the fact that at UCG Higgins was a member of Fianna Fail.

That's because I put an extra H into the Ancient Order of Honourable . As Vice President you should have spotted that anyway.

Re: President
People who see the light and leave behind their dastardly ways should always be given much support as Michael D gets. I'm sure Marty understands this concept quite well.HwoodMike2umate wrote:I'm just surprised that in Mondays "Debate" our wee Marty didnt throw at Michael Daniel Higgins the fact that at UCG Higgins was a member of Fianna Fail.

Re: President
Quite right Snipe. I should have spotted it and I agree he is quite entitled to this honour. His Galway supporters mightn't like it though.Snipe Watson wrote:

It would be great to see him give some vocal support to Connacht Rugby also. President McAleese has turned up for the premier experience of Munster v Leinster games. It would be good if President Higgins could turn out for the smaller brother of a Connacht v Ulster game or even get him there for their maiden voyage in the H Cup.*
* I'm not normally into Presidents turning up at sporting events but it would be nice to see one of Ireland's VIP's supporting Connacht rather than hanging on the coat-tails of Munster.

Re: President
Agreed. Marty did his bit and he can go back to his job with his head high, especially if he finishes third overall which would probably be as good as they could have hoped for.BaggyTrousers wrote:

He ruffled a few establishment feathers and ultimately gave Gallagher's campaign the bullet it deserved. In this little mini Ulster Championship Derry beat Cavan by a few goals.

Re: President
MickyD looks to have cleaned up and when you look at the rest of the langers in for the job he is probably the most like a statesman anyway, ok a haircut might help
Mary looked the part in the job and lets be honest about it,it is a look the part and talk the part at gatherings, she will be a tough act to follow.

He has an impossible job. Mary I was a class act and after a shaky start, Mary II kept the upward trend going.
I had my doubts, but she did a magnificent job.......most of the time.

Anyway, time there was a bloke back in the Aras. On a day when it has been announced that Betty's family will no longer favour males for succession this somewhat redresses the male/female balance. Mind you in my long years there has never been a King of the British Empire.

Re: President
MDH has decided to try to win a second term. Wonder if any Ulsterfolk will take him on this time.
