LongTimeLurker Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 The Ballad of Buster Scruggs just provided me with the least expected Orange content from an American TV show or movie since one of the two main characters on Alias Smith & Jones, I forget which it's been a while, revealed he was an Orangeman from Londonderry. Now back to your usual programming... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondDan Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Black Saturday was a blast, with around 17000 'Blackmen' taking part in parades across Northern Ireland. See below for the Loughgall parade - the birthplace of Orangeism. Who was your favourite band and why? Mine was the Omagh Protestant Boys. Well turned out as always, and they played beautifully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why's it called "Black saturday" And why are they called "Blackmen"? Is it anything to do with "Honor Blackman" My sister was a great admirer I remember her saying she wanted to be Honor Blackman. At least that's what I think she said 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Young lad is sitting next to his mum, who is sewing. She slips and p***ks her finger with the needle. The wee lad says, "don't worry mum, I know what you should do. Have we any cider? Mum says "no, why?" He replies "because I heard auntie Jean say that every time she gets a p***k in her hand, she has to put it in cider." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondDan Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 As marching season reaches it's end, it has been a joy to catch up with clips of the annual Downshire Guiding Star parade. Granted it's not an Orange Walk, but it's still a vital part of our traditional parading culture. Some of the bands were phenomenal. The East Belfast Proddy Boys have definitely increased in numbers after there was a split for reasons I'll not go into. They usually walk through the blue and white smoke coming out of the cut, but photographers must have been disappointed this year when it didn't happen. Drumderg Loyalists are massive these days. The Shankill Defenders are a bit different to the huge blood and thunder bands that dominate the famous loyalist road. The Kilcluney Volunteers sporting their black and gold uniforms. Classy as per. Rathcoole Proddy Boys - not sure what tune they are playing but it's lovely. Just some clips from the 70 odd bands in attendance. I recommend the NI-UlsterMarchingBands YouTube account for the full shebang. Who was your favourite band and why? As loyalism displays yet another outstanding example of our cultural heritage, Scottish Nhationalism displays there's as their mhovement's defacto leader Alex Salmond brandishes a bottle of Tonic Wine (it's colours they are fine) in Cyprus. That gut... -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Not Salmond's biggest fan, but it's wild to have a go at his belly given the utter nick of those who attend and participate in the various annual hate fests across Scotland and the Failed Statelet. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrbridgeSaintee Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Not being funny, but the Drumderg Loyalists are one of the best bands on the road just now, which is highly impressive given Keady isn't exactly fertile territory (like this board) They were mindblowing at Scarva. Dan, how many loyalist bands are on the road just now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
