    Today and tomorrow are the 2 days in the year I am happiest not to be in Belfast anymore.

    Rubbish few days for anyone not interested in the Orange Order, menacingly large bonfires and marching bands.

    Will that be before or after you and your brethern sing your obscence songs outside of other peoples churches and then fire off a few shots at the PSNI as they attempt to stop you re-enating the Bombay Street pogrom?

    Aye, great, unless your house is right beside them. Before you start yapping I grew up in North Belfast and know plenty about large bonfires, melted plastic guttering and the general displays of idioacy that accompany them.

    Aye, dead on, orangefest...it's just one big happy day out for all the family. Pull the other. Except I don't know anyone in my family or circle of friends who aren't embarassed by the whole show.

    Don't encourage them. Don't go...go any other time of the year, but don't gives these eejits and their transparent attempts at turd polishing the oxygen of publicity. Orangefest! Sponsoring division and intimidation since before you were born!

    Unless you think sectarian songs, paramilitary bands and flag burning sound like a day of craic. If you do, go..you'll love it.

    Don't miss the aul codgers rattling on about the protestant faith in the field, you'll roar laughing. Look on in amazement as the annual "chuck bricks at the police" sporting event takes hold in the evening at the OO sponsored protest on the Ardoyne.

    Ranting like children as they didn't get their way from the UK's NI secretary, the parades commission or the police. Yet, they, the OO are right. Everyone else is wrong.

    Stain on the country, a national disgrace.
