Irish referndum is same as last time. False polls begetting false betting. Those on the street are confident of a NO. PB got it wrong last time and are about to repeat their error. Smithson doesn't get Ireland.

Or maybe he's a sold out EUtopian.

Re 'a sneek preview': I suggest 'sneak': ‘ . . sneak preview orig. U.S., a showing of a (usually unnamed) cinematic film prior to regular release, to test audience reaction; also transf. and fig.
1949 Sun (Baltimore) 28 Jan. 13/4 (Advt.), Sneak preview tonight at 11.40 p.m. Even though the producers say we mustn't tell we can hint it's..one of the funniest comedies you've ever seen!
. . 1980 Times Lit. Suppl. 12 Sept. 990/2 This selection brings together poems from all five of her [sc. P. Beer's] published collections, plus a satisfying sneak preview of what one hopes will be her sixth.’[OED]
