It must be weird having to do that news-making handshaking thing with a half ton of cameras all focused in on every detail.

"Prince Charles has always denied he's a member of the IRA"

He protests too much!

Apparently Lord Mountbatten suffered from dandruff. I'm not sure how we know this.

The prince and duchess were treated to displays of traditional music and weaving

i have nothing against the gallant volunteers. but people like Casually Red and anthony mcintyre - and of course el gel himself - have rather undermined my sympathy for adams: while for more than a quarter of a century i have longed for the news of charles mountbatten-windsor's demise. along with the rest of his nefandous family.

I see; more of a gez/chaz dilemma, then.

Charlie looks tanned, perhaps Balmoral has a sun bed.

Jezzer appears black and tanned..

On a more serious note, there must have been real tension for the two men, victor and vanquished. Both seemed to cope quite well.

He's getting a lot of stick from the Bloody Sunday relatives in the media , calling it indefensible, and accusing sinn fein of "wiping their feet" on the paras victims . Ballymurphy massacre families sound none too happy either .

That meeting took place after the handshake and was in a private room. It lasted between 15 and 20 minutes.

Yep, that's a long handshake

Ireland is probably closer to being united now than it ever was during the troubles imo.

Gadzooks!!

 

[SpineyNorman]

Well I suppose that since Ireland currently is not united, and if we're to assume one day it will be, then the laws of chronology and physics and that (best measured in decimal proletarian time) dictate that almost by definition a United Ireland must be closer.

That says nothing about whether Adams and co cosying up to the British state has brought it closer though (I remain unconvinced on that score)
