    Do chuid anseo mé Fear Oiraiste, teacht díreach trasna na farraige Do amhránaíocht agus damhsa, tá súil agam go mbeidh mé ort le do thoil, an féidir liom casadh nó damhsa le fear ar bith Mar a rinne mé i lá d'aois Agus a cuid ar an Déag mé fada a chaitheamh ar an saise mo Chaith Athair.

    Curfá

    Tá sé d'aois ach tá sé go hálainn. Dathanna a bhfuil siad breá a bhí sé ag caitheamh ag an Doire, Eachroim, Inis Ceithleann agus an Mo Bóinne Athair Chaith sé mar óige sna laethanta atá thart de d'aois Agus a cuid ar an Déag mé fada a chaitheamh, chaith an saise Athair.


    Chun tá sé anois mé ag dul a fhágann tú, luck go maith duit beidh mé a rá Agus nuair atá mé ar na farraige domhain, tá súil agam go mbainfidh tú mé ag guí Tá mé ag dul ó mo thír dhúchais, go gcuirfidh siad Dromore glaoch I gcás ar an Déag mé fada a chaitheamh le mo Chaith an saise Athair.

    Curfá

    Aon uair a thiocfaidh mé ar ais arís ar mo bhráithre anseo chun an doiciméad a fheiceáil Tá súil agam go bhfaighidh sean Orange stíl, beidh siad fáilte i gcónaí roimh liom port is fearr leat's "Bóinne Uisce", ach go dom le do thoil níos mó agus níos mó Agus a dhéanamh ar mo chroí Oiraiste sásta go hiomlán leis an saise Athair Chaith.

    Curfá.

    The 12th of July is about a bunch of men walking around northern ireland with orange sachets around their necks. Hope it rains!

    So that the rain dissolves the powder in the Sachets and the streets flow with orange juice ?

    I went to Belfast by accident one 12th of July. It was a great weekend - cheap hotel, bars not packed, nice food. I'd recommend it.

    Same as, except myself (wearing a green Connacht rugby jersey, silly me) getting a hiding for being a 'teig' cnut in a hotel bar having a ham sandwich at lunch with my teenage sister. :(

    Made me research the whole thing in depth to see why i deserved said treatment. And i came to the conclusion that it is a exclusive celebration of feeling superior over your neighbor and sticking it in their faces that your biggoted leader of yonder years defeated people seeking equal rights.

    my 2c.

    Its no different from us down here celebrating St.Patricks great victory over the evil snakes now allowing people to go out in to the fields without having to worry about anti venom.We should have our own lodges who organise marches around the reptile house in Dublin zoo.

    Very good Theparish.Indeed, Dublin is a zoo and it certainly has a House filled with reptiles until the holiday season.Could be slithering anywhere now, so watch out folks! :eek: No point in grabbing a crosier.Has been rendered impotent despite what the Orang Lodges say ;)

    A day of celebration for our culture which is going nowhere. No Surrender.

    Well why don't you go and celebrate your culture in your own areas then :confused:

    These marches are just to p1ss other people off, if I was a member of the KKK and I marched through a black area I'd expect to get a reaction. They could also argue this is their culture.

    Ugh. This rubbish makes me so glad I don't live in Northern Ireland anymore and so angry with my parents for moving me there when we lived in a perfectly nice, normal environment in England. Rest assured that the average English person thinks the whole thing is pathetic, if they care about it at all. Here in London it's just another day, the significance of yesterday being the 12th didn't even register for me until I saw this thread.

    It's not a celebration of culture. It's a pack of louts parading around trying to provoke people.
