They'd think, 'fuck me, did I die for a country where the house prices have increased 280% in 10 years...where paramilitaries of all hues are more interested in drug pushing and people bashing than the crucial question of who rules Ireland.' And then they might ask 'and what the hell is a latte and a panini...? Where's the cabbage & spuds gone? Have you all gone mad?'
I replied...
I thought they'd start up a boyband and see if Louis Walsh would manage them.

That's a superb idea. Marshmallow Martyrs. Or what's a good name? Boys from the Blood?
