McIlroy has sold his soul to the Queen of England, for why? a medal?

Maybe it will impress his girlfriend.

Wouldn't she be jealous?

OBE - Other bugger's effort
MBE - My bloody effort

Can you explain exactly how you think McIlroy has "sold his soul"?

Citizen honoured in New Year's Honours list. Can't see where any soul-selling might come in there.

I agree. MacIlroy didn't sell this soul in this occassion, that happened some time ago.

Was he once a GAA loving, Irish speaking chap that suddenly changed, or did i miss something in the "sell out" phase?

That's exactly what i'm wondering. What did he 'sell out' from?

His Communist roots.

If Rory wants to collect his MBE, then so be it. It's not for me to tell him he shouldn't and it's not for anyone to tell him what he is or isn't.

If I ever get mentioned in the Honor's List, I'd do a David Bowie

[Maguire01]

Has Darren Clarke sold out?

[From the Bunker]

Is it sold out, or maybe bought into?

True especially when he claims to be British and not Irish. Couldnt really understand the celebrations from Irish people on his major win and all that.

As my uncle used to say - OBE - ould British eejit.

In the world that Rory inhabits, this award is no sell out it is considered to be a highlight of his career. 

In our "shared future" it is a test for others to accept that this s a reality for Rory and no attempt to insult others.  The acceptance of diversity is the first test for us all and acceptance of the equality of existence of diverse views, ideas and beliefs is the second test.  Pass both and we are on our way to a shared future.

Well said.

Well i agree but in my diverse view he is a twat.

[Agent Orange]

I am all in favour of a shared future, but it seems that sharing is a one way street in NI.

I think the term "Castle Catholic" is best used to describe the likes or Rory.

Then British Empire is an evil concept and a person of moral principle would not wish to be associated with it, especially a person from a place at the receiving end of the Imperial project. Anyone should thinks there is something wrong with saying that should examine their own 'principles'.
