Like jan, you probably heard on the telly 40 years ago. You had your chance to man up and admit you made a mistake, now I will just have to see it as a downright lie. One thing I'll say about McGuigan having grown up with him, he is man of incredible integrity and honesty, you should take a leaf out of your hero's book.

There is a photo doing the rounds on social media of a naked reveler with his trousers around his ankles, his majesty's very small crown jewels are on full display as well as some rather substantial skid marks on his underwear. Unionist need to take a look at the way they are celebrating the 12th and maybe roll backing on the binge drinking and anti social behavior that is taking place.

Someone else estimated 2 billion; I would say it could be 7 billion if everything N I public service had to be bi-lingual, all documentation signage etc. Either way, it's not going to happen, to that extent anyway.

I can't see how they can reverse the trend without dropping the whole Protestant supremacy archaic stuff.

downcow wrote: » Francie. You just don’t get it. The orange order is not the Ulster Scots culture. The OO is alive and well but young people are much more attracted to the loyalist bands and the whole social life around them If the OO only had 5,000 members then the twelfth will not be the slightest bit smaller. I posted you a link earlier which gives an honest picture of the demographic around parades. You stuck in a desperate wishful thinking position that the orange culture is dying. I have heard that from I was a kid.
“This will be portrayed by the media as loads of support for the Orange lodge. No, there’s loads of curious five-year-olds and tired mums who are bringing them out to look at the ‘pretty colours’'.

Now I will ask you to study thwelfth pictures and if you can find me one single orange man out of the tens of thousands wear light blue jeans then I will say there is a tiny possibility you post is accurate but if not then I think we can all agree it is more of this desperate need to try and demonise the orange. Over to you. ....and no, the skid marks weren’t very Protestant looking. Lol
