See if you can pick up a copy of this while you are there. One of the greatest plays ever written.

Watched that recently on youtube to see what the fuss was all about and thought it was nothing special. Gives the sort of people from Scotland that are likely to be interested in watching something like that what they want to see in an times highly stereotypical sort of way rather than providing anything truly thought provoking. Football, Faith and Flutes which I also watched courtesy of youtube as I had better things to do with my time when these programmes originally aired is much better as it lets people from that background and their mirror image on the green and gold side of things express themselves rather than putting words in their mouth and that provides a much clearer picture of their world view and motivation.

It says Kill all **** on a wall in Belfast though.
That's why the **** on here cry about the word **** being used.

It's derogatory language that fits into what gets labelled as sectarianism even though the relevance of the religious angle is questionable nowadays, so if you are opposed to KAT or KAI grafitti, then KAH slogans should also be taken seriously as an issue, if you are not part of the problem because you can only find fault with one side as I suspect is probably the case with "Agent Ath Cliath".

I'd rather just be derogatory to both **** and ****.
It's fairer that way.

Here's me thinking KAI was to do with the winning goal scorer in the 1966 Scottish Cup final replay. Every day is a school day on here right enough.

Billy Connolly's first acting part. Thought it wasn't that bad acting wise compared to some of the cringe worthy stuff back then on local TV.

There was a better BBC Scotland news documentary from the early 1970s. Most of the locals seem to have been ex gang members.

Calton Tongs ya bass.........

Vaguely remember seeing something like that a long time ago, which was in black and white.

Are you allowed to wade into an orange walk if you're holding a cricket bat?


It's not specifically outlawed but as it would almost certainly involve leaving your crease it's a risky tactic.

If the parades commission are sending marches through silly point then you might manage
