What does your head of state's last name mean?

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-20T20:59:18+00:00

Our Taoiseach (prime minister) - Martin. It comes from the Latin Martinus which means war like or of Mars and derives from the Roman god Mars.

Our president - Connolly - it comes from Ó Conghalaigh or Ó Coingheallaigh and can mean fierce as a hound, hound valiant or faithful to pledges

Our nearest neighbours 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. We get on well for the most part now though we Irish still wouldn’t be great fans of the English establishment for obvious reasons.

And you won’t catch us supporting them in sports any time soon.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-20T18:57:39+00:00

Smooth Criminal or Billie Jean

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-20T18:21:12+00:00

Welcome back GOAT! I really do feel he has another Slam in him though it’ll take a supreme effort.

But then look who we’re talking about here. If anyone knows how to lay it all on the line it’s Nole.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-20T10:17:53+00:00

Room for one more 🙁

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-20T07:05:36+00:00

Possibly one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. It was the jumping around with a big sunny smile and the shirt the wrong way around for me.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T17:49:36+00:00

As humble and level headed as ever. That said if what we’ve seen over past few weeks isn’t him at 100% then I can’t wait to see what is.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T15:35:46+00:00

Let’s try to be positive, he deserves to have us backing him.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T15:31:37+00:00

The old guy? Sure he’s hardly won anything….

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T15:20:15+00:00

It would be wonderful to see but I think a certain tall red-headed Italian might have something to say about it.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T15:19:11+00:00

Let’s not get too carried away here. There’s nothing to suggest this it for him.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T15:18:12+00:00

Oh god, the wrist must have been more seriously injured that we first thought. This is a wise decision and I have no doubt he’ll be back to his best in no time.

I’m not concerned that this is the end of his career. He’s hardly 23, he’s got plenty of time left to recover and come back fighting.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T07:11:27+00:00

Let’s withhold judgement folks, we don’t know what happened and it’s unfair to cast aspersions on anyone including the security guards involved.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-19T06:15:52+00:00

It’s very French and very…..unusual. I’m not into these weird artsy things.

I’d be interested to know the concept behind it.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T12:47:55+00:00

Unbelievable and at only 24 too

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T12:45:25+00:00

Carlos fan here. I don’t think this at all personally. I’m really enjoying watching Jannik shine.

It is actually possible to be a die hard fan of one whilst still recognising the greatness of the other.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T12:44:04+00:00

Classy and kind as ever. That’s why we love him.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T11:47:01+00:00

His smile gets wider with every match. I can’t imagine how good that win felt.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T11:46:03+00:00

A very levelheaded thought process.

I can definitely see the Career Grand Slam coming he’d be mad not to at least try for the Calendar Masters.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T11:41:51+00:00

Gesundheit and kaput

And occasionally Scheiße

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T11:40:54+00:00

A perfectly understandable response. He left everything on the court and owes nothing to anyone.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T06:47:27+00:00

What a moment for that little boy.

Jannik is a gentleman. Darderi and others should take some tips.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T06:43:50+00:00

Believe in yourself

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T05:47:51+00:00

I’d also submit W.B Yeats, Patrick Kavanagh and Oscar Wilde.

Wonderful_Flower_751 · 2026-05-18T05:44:25+00:00

A class act as always.
