Loughbrickland is surely a parody town. 

Lough is Gaelic for loch. 

And brickland is a place built from bricks. 

I looked it up. Population 693. Apparently Enoch Powell lived there.

There's one P&Ber I know of that has repeatedly opined the utterly bizarre notion that the Williamite War had anything to do with democracy (centuries before democracy was ever a thing in the British Isles), and that's the dearly departed @The_Kincardine, who was emptied a couple of weeks before you joined the site. Any relation?

What did that helmet get emptied for?

Was in Stranraer visiting my in-laws yesterday and (as is often the case) we opted to stop for fish suppers in Girvan, only to find it queued round the corner with single brain cells, decked out in Therangers shirts, on their way back from the silly season ferry.

Decided to wait and use a Troon chippy.

Greenied (why can't we give orange dots on this thread?) for the correct use of the word chippy.

Turns out that I "won the day" on P&B on July the 12th by having the most greenies on that day.

Nice of you all to arrange the parades for me. Not a fan though.

What kind of a website would display such cultural insensitivity as to allow the issue of green circles on the glorious 12th? Div is the real bigot here.

If there ever was a definitive way to spot a c**t it would be participation in an Orange Walk.

Thank you.

Everybody I know who takes part in these are life's losers. There are no exceptions.

The guy who used to stay two doors up from me was a member and took part in these things. At one of the parades he was at the front carrying a cushion with a crown on it. Imagine being a grown man and going in to work on Monday and when asked what you did at the weekend saying I played dress up and walked about with a cushion with a crown on it.

How do you become an Orangeman. Is there a test or something? And once you have achieved this status, what's your responsibilities. Is there a motto or something, that members aspire to. A code of conduct perhaps. What's the glue that bonds you guys together? 🤷

He had a perverse understanding of that time in history. He used to big up the Glorious Revolution in Scotland despite it being a major contributor to the Seven Ill Years, a period of famine in the 1690s that saw at least a tenth of the Scottish population starved to death.

To be honest it’s the northern Irish people who don’t believe in Dinosaurs that I’ve got more issues with

There should be a thread.

My favourite Dino is Quetzalcoatlus.

Size of a Cessna.

Why don't like folk crossing the road? Even the worlds biggest cycling race doesn't stop you from crossing the road between groups mad thing to get locked up for assault over.

Oddly, they don't seem to accept "It's my traditional route" as an excuse for crossing the road...

Drink vast quantities of Tango?  Become a brain donor?

As bad as each other. He's desperate to kick it off and they don't need much encouragement to kick off. Luckily the polis were quick to get in there.
