Kevin McGourty was there yesterday.
Sooner this is out of Belfast the better.
A boy called Stephan was there too.
I took the wanes a couple of years ago. It was a bag of shite and pished all day. Seems to be the preserve of the Henderson Ewarts and Wallace Cartwrights of the world.

Glad to hear the doctor cleared that up.

Two lowered, spoilered, tinted windowed cars passed me earlier on Balmoral Ave with bleached haired, half eyebrowed, earringed, Subaru jacketed, inbred fcukwits hanging out the windows giving each other w**ker gestures.
Sounds like what you could see any day in Belfast TBH.

The Subaru jacket is worn almost exclusively by rednecks though.
Balmoral show is not by any stretch a "prod" event. It has always been an annual day out for farmers from all over the north. It wont be the same when moved to the maze site.

Sounds like what you'd see in County Tyrone any day. I'll bet the cars were full of Nathan Carter and Jimmy Buckley CDs

Had to google those two chaps but you have a good point.
I remember all the kids at primary school who came from farms always got the day off to go to Balmoral show, the f**kers.
Is there any event in NI that is actually perceived equal and cross community?

belfast marathon
Plenty of club and county jerseys knocking around. And plenty of rugby shirts as well. Saw two very prominent crossmaglen players at it with their kids. it's there for everyone. Get rid of the chip on your shoulder.

Probably stoops though.
I see the Orange Order with a stand at the show this year, surly to god this shouldn't be tolerated in this day an age. That an openly sectarian group such as this should be allowed to promote its hate at a farming event is a step to far. Every nationalist should boycott the event until they are removed.

One of the things that annoys me the most is when OO is compared ti the GAA. I hear this regularly in discussions etc.
Should be comparing the OO with the AOH instead.

I wasn't comparing them. And I get your point. Why would the orange order even have a stand at an agricultural show.?
I would say a lot of their membership comes from agricultural backgrounds. Also I would say they are trying to fight back when they can against bad publicity. (Deserved bad publicity might I add but I always feel their is a perception in there that they are being demonised).
