Ulster Bank apologises to Orange Order in Gaa row

[Maguire01]

That apology was brilliant! More than a hint of sarcasm.

Newsletter too incompetent to even realise it.

Even better. 2 - Nil

An Orange Order spokesman said Mr Nelson had accepted the bank's apology

3 - Nil?

Yes, i'd give you that one too.

Nobody seemed to notice this bit - brilliant: "any offence we have caused is entirely unconventional."

If it was a typo it was worth it to read it, if it was not it is the best bit of unconventional offence I have ever seen

Will they have to apologise about playing a couple of tunes that were not permitted ? Naughty boys !!

An Orange Order parade has defied restrictions put in place by the Parades Commission on the hymns to be played during the march.

The Commission had said just one hymn, Abide With Me, should be played on part of the route around Belfast.

However, What a Friend We Have in Jesus and The World in Union were used.The annual parade, involving Ballymacarrett District LOL No 6, goes from Townsend Street Presbyterian Church to Templemore Avenue and back.

The music restriction applied to the part of the Newtownards Road between the Bridge End flyover and the Susan Street junction.

The order had said it would protest to the NI Secretary of State and the Justice Minister about the restrictions imposed by the Commission.

Is this a sign that the Orange Order has developed a sense of humour? Forget about Osama bin Laden, this would be real news!

If you were served in your bank by a person wearing Linfield top then would you not feel a little agrieved?

To be fair, I dont thoink sports tops should be seen in the workplace, even those gawd awful english soccer tops.

I don't think Sports shirts should be wore on normal day today work. For something like the Sam, maybe people could see the fun side of it? I am waiting to wear my Antrim top, any time soon do you think?
