Looks like someone can't take a joke [1] Added a section alternative universe to satirise the article. klynch 23:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

concernes about latest postings - indicate assent/dissent

in the changes

national_motto = "God save Ian Paisley"| + |national_motto = "Healyyyyy, Healyyyy" |national_anthem = Catholics Blow + |national_anthem = Ian Paisley eats the Charred remains of Orphans

I approve of the amendment to the motto from "God Save Ian Paisley" to "Healyyyy, Healyyyy" capturing the zeitgeist. I have a concern about the new national anthem "Ian Paisley eats the charred remains of orphans" it lacks comic bite and punch. I was never very satisfied with "Catholics Blow" as a national anthem but it did have a certain comic riff to me.

And I think it was retrograde and less wildean to remove "I fear it like the clap" and replace it with "oh aye".

Also the comic meme of burnt orphans does not really work in the context of the McElhill family in omagh or if the meme of burnt orphans is to be worked in then it alters the whole comic tone of the article and substantial rework is required.

In conclusion then I propose we leave "Healyyyy, Healyyy" in and undo the other changes. If no one objects before 23 Dec next week, then sometime after that I'll put the changes back.
