While I'm hugely positive about it and all the rest, I'm so far unconvinced that it is that significant. Sure Mary McAlesse had a path worn to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the Queen, and no doubt Michael D (of whom I'm a big fan) has been there lots of times (perhaps holding a plackard protesting about something).
So it is that groundbreaking, even Martin McGuinness, he's already met her and shook her hand. So he's going to have a meal, woo hoo.
I was fairly wowed by the Queen's visit, not that I'm such a fan of her as such, but due to all the symbolism. TBH British Irish relations at a personal level have been great for years and years, so even some of the symbolism seemed a bit of a timelag.
Linking to the grammar thread, any view on "an historic", I would say "a historic", on the basis that "an" only goes before vowels, and 'cos I ain't no cockney villain I always pronounce my "h".
Now the Duchess of _____ (Kate), there's a royal I could really warm to.
