    Does that include shooting at the police and army of the state that they proclaim their loyalty to? :confused:
    Remember the period which such incidents like this happened.

    So after a bit of mass on a Sunday they wonder down to a Police van give them a letter?


    Is there actually been a police car there for 5000 days, or just on a Sunday?

    If they really felt strongly about it they would set themselves on fire. Part timers :rolleyes:

    I don't have anything against the Orange Order per se, but it really does need to reform and become more inclusive and open its doors to Catholics and

    gays (openly)
    brown people
    black people
    yellow people
    etc etc

    I've known some people from there over the years and you wouldn't get them out of bed in the morning if it wasn't to be offended for something or other.

    That says more about the people you get to know than the residents of the Garvaghy Road.

    "A Martian space ship comes down on the Garvaghy Road, and the Martian gets out to take a look around.

    He is approaches by a member of the residents committee, who asks who he is. "I'm a Martian" he replies. "Well," says the member of the residents committee, "let me tell you
    NO ONE 'S GOING TO DO ANY MARCHING AROUND HERE

    Whats the difference between Billy Wright and a Black Taxi?
    A Black Taxi can take five in the back.

    I thought the orange heads were offloaded from Scotland? Perhaps they could march around Glasgow and join those lovely Rangers fans.

    Those cantankerous old gits in bowler hats wheezing up and down in the drizzle. Not exactly my idea of a fun day. They seem to like it.

    Dutch Protestants

    The Orange Institution (more commonly known as the Orange Order, the Orange Lodge, or the Orangemen) is a Protestant fraternal organisation based mainly in Northern Ireland and Scotland, though it has lodges throughout the Commonwealth and United States. The Institution was founded in 1796 near the village of Loughgall in County Armagh, Ireland

    Its name is a tribute to Dutch-born Protestant William of Orange, who defeated the army of Catholic James II at the Battle of the Boyne (1690)

    They are a confused lot. They did march in Glasgow a while back if I remember right and weren't too welcome there either. History books seems to be the best place for them.
