Very much agree with Lar there in terms of the brooding in the past. I have no love for the Orange Order but I do know that there are moves in some areas to try to "normalise" the 12th "celebrations". Mrs BC is directly involved in it and I know that some are working hard to make it a less cold place for catholics, tonight will tell a big story.

Jackie McDonald former commander in the UDA came out yesterday and said he hates the 12th and it is one of the worst days in the year for him!!

Saw it on twitter but it's from 2010 apparently. Sick nonetheless and it's what you come to expect from Loyalists.

In that case I withdraw my post about the handshake and NITB

The Orange Order in Country Areas tends to be more cultural and religious than in urban areas where it is more about pissing on your neighbour's garden. Time to drop the KTP bands and try and make the whole twelth a proper cultural celebration, no need also for the rabble rousing speeches.

He got a right mouthful about it, on the comments section of the Belfast Telegraph yesterday.

Eamon Mallie is a twat. I ejected him from Bedford House in Belfast once. I really enjoyed that.

Haha! Love seeing stuff like that! Redhands with 6 fingers etc

And to be fair I did see written on a wall before 'Chuckie ar la'

Saw a few classic graffiti fails this week myself. In Lisburn a drug dealer has sprayed 'Crhis xxxxx pay your drug bill £600' and this wonderful rape of the english language 'Up a ra' in Derry.
