Paisley taking off ...

Post categories:

William Crawley | 19:02 UK time, Wednesday, 8 August 2007

ian-paisley.jpgThis pic is crying out for a caption competition. . What is Northern Ireland's First Minister saying between giggles? And why is the Chief Executive of Aer Lingus pulling that face?

UPDATE: Keep the suggestions coming in. Yes, freethinker, the caption I like best will earn its author a book prize.

First Minister Paisley to Aer Lingus officials:

"Much as I appreciate the proposed airlunk, loyal Ulstermen have always sat lip to lap with the full British breakfast. Speaking for the Queen's loyal subjects, not an ECU of EU republican de-militirisation minitiarisation subsidies will fit me or my kith and kin on this air-liner. Ulster says No to leprachauns.
