Derryadd, your Belfast geography is lacking, Shankill is nearer to Ardoyne and the Falls than it is to Sandy Row. there's also one in Dublin, comes from Gaelic Sean Chill, old church/cell (religious type), I believe.

Derry Wan don`t lecture me on thon oul Irish stuff, I spake good oul Ulster Scots, a language that the stranger can`t hannel. And as for Dublin, ah wuddnt set mh fut innit. I am sannin this wee note from our beloved Drumcree and the bliddy rains runnin` down the sheughs of mih ass, thats why I posted that twice up above, avv packed up an awful stutter, ah thinks its swamp faver. Ahall have a coupla wee welts at thon oul Lambagg to get the blood coorsin thru mah veins. Derryadd Sam

Heavens above, Sammy ... if it wasn't for the fact that you're the miserablest oul' bollocks that ever dug with the right fut, I'd have lep' intill yer defence aginst thon Derry wan one. But ye'll have to crawl over broken glass on your bare ass singin' Dolly's Braes before I'd ever forgive you for tornin' thon cute wee Australian huzzy agin me.

I cud tell by the cut o' thon Shankhill boy's oul way o' goin' on that he's no Belfast man. I'd say the same fella'd know his beads better than he'd know the words to Croppy Lie Down.

Anyway ... enough of this oul' carry-on! I'm away to roll myself up a big Warrenpoint and get aff my face!

Keep diddlin' the lambegs, boys!

I wuddint need a bloody map till find your hole, boy if you were here fernenst me, for by Christ I'd on'y have till listen till where in the name o' all that's good ye were talkin' out iv!

Tellin' me and my brawr Sam, here (hostilities between us suspended till we see aff yer man that can't even spell Derry right. Jaysis, I have till add another 6 letters till the bugger and I never spelt it wrong yet!) that we're in the wrong thread!

Houl yer whist, ye big gulpin, and pin yer ears back for Isaac McKittery tells no man a 'hing twice! This thread has been a thread used by the loyal brethren of Lodge 666 since the internet was forst invented. We are merely exercising our God-given rights till march along the Queen's own information superhighway. What're you goin' till do? Call in the Parades Commission?

An' anawr 'hing!

Thon Derry men near make me boke, wi' their Apprentice Boys this and Apprentice Boys that! I'd say the same boys wud need the oul "L" plates right enough. Not like me and Derryadd Sam. We're no l'arners, the same boys!

Closin' the dure, is it? Sure what gapshite hasn't shit a bloody dure? Even Derryadd Sam can pull an oul' dure behin' him and he was damn near rared in a fiel'. (No harm till you, Sam ... sure amn't I on'y tellin' the truth!)

If it hud bin the boys o' Portydown we wudn't ha' shit the dure in the Fenians' faces. We'd ha been out like a shot ready for takin' on all han's wi' an empty Buckie bottle in every han' and a wee suck at a Roman can'le jist till get us goin'!

Says Derry Wan till Ike and Sam, yer knowledge is appalling
But he's talkin' through his derry air, I hear his pipes are calling
I just went down to Portydown, till raise up all Drumcree, sir
And thon boys so loyal till the crown, will fall in behind me, sir

What are ye havin'? A three-skin joint?
I'll have a quare wee smoke, sir
And then we'll march till Derry town
And giv yer man a hoak, sir

Says Derry wan till Ike and Sam, I think you're off your thread, sir
Says I till him, don't be so dim, there's nowhere I can't tread sir
This website's on a marching route I've used since I was wee, sir
So I'll rattle my drum and I'll blow my flute anywhere I damn well please, sir

What are ye havin'? A shot o' Buck?
I'll have a nice wee sloat, sir
And on thon joint I'll have a suck
Till sen' me on the road, sir

Says Derry wan till Ike and Sam, I'll do ye a translation
Says Ardmore Sam till Derry wan, give over yer vexation
Yer oul' talk is loose and fast, but I tell ye what ye need sir
A bloody good kick up the ass, so hard yer nose wud bleed, sir

What are ye havin'? Some oul' Scotch Mac?
Ha' ye got a drap dekented?
If I cud get yer man from aff my back
I'd be quarely more contented!

Shall we ga'er at the river?
The beautiful, the beautiful river?
Shall we ga'er at the river?
That goes by the name of the Bann

There's pecks an' eels an' roaches an' there's brime, boys
We'll have a blody good oul' time, boys
Wi' a big tench on the en' o' yer oul' line, boys
And soon he'll be sizzlin' in the pan

Oul' Dan McCann lived on its banks, boys
For a basin he would never gi' ye thanks, boys
Bann water meant the bugger never stank, boys
H'ated in an oul' fryin' pan

Gi' over yer oul' singin' 'bout the Jeerdun
There's a river in the country I was reared in
Where the dollaghan's a fish that's most revered an'
The king of the oul' River Bann

The Bannfoot and The Mill Quay and the Reckie
I caught myself a thirty-five pound peck, he
Said you ingnorant hallion, put me back, he
Terrorised the whole River Bann

There's Maghery, Muckery, Slentry, Ballinary
And Portydown where fenians should be wary
And the oul' boys talk of eels, by Christ, so hairy
That live in the oul' River Bann

A wee song that was written by Brother Percy French of Tullinahaw LOL.

Ah the boys are in the camp, sweet Drumcree
Be it dry or be it damp, sweet Drumcree
Drinkin' bucky, smokin' blow
Ike McKittery and co
They've got nowhere else to go
But sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

There's oul' Sam from Derryadd, Sweet Drumcree
And he'd drive ye bliddy mad, Sweet Drumcree
I was cooortin' some wee Oz
Till yer man shoved in his schnozz
An' now she's a lost cause
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

There's dei'l a 'hing till do, Sweet Drumcree
'Cept drink away our broo, Sweet Drumcree
And get stoned on hash and grass
That they smuggle through Ardglass
How I miss thon Ozzie lass
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

Oh I miss her day and night, Sweet Drumcree
I had her in my sights, Sweet Drumcree
My oul' heart she stud till win
But someone torned her agin
And I'd do thon hallion in
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

True love will fin' a way, Sweet Drumcree
That's what the poets say, Sweet Drumcree
If I giv' thon blade a houl'
Ye wud quare soon hear her gowl
"When they made you they broke the moul'"
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray

There are a lot of interesting lyrics on this thread (saving it from the BS section)

A few months ago, the Orange Order cancelled this year's parades because of the health crisis. But now that restrictions are eased and gatherings of up to 30 people are allowed, individual bands are planning to march separately in various areas. The idea is that people should stay in their own gardens or by their own front doors and let the bands come to them. In some areas there are competitions for the best house front and garden decorations and displays, a way to keep up the morale and encourage people to stay home.

Bonfires are still a bone of contention. And many people in the Loyalist community are feeling rebellious due to the controversy over the handling of the recent funeral of an ex-IRA man Bobby Story (too complex to go into details here, but complaints have come from the moderate Nationalist SDLP and the Alliance party, not just from harder line Unionists and Loyalists).

And today, when I open my laptop, up comes a message on the screensaver page to say it's July 12th, Battle of the Boyne. Why? it doesn't give me similar messages when it's the anniversary of Culloden, Prestonpans, Jutland, Bosworth, Agincourt, Hastings, etc?
