The 12th of July in Northern Ireland is when the Protestants dress up in orange sashes and silly hats and parade, with pipe bands, to piss off the Catholics. It's a bank holiday, so everyone gets the day off. Except the police, hospitals, ambulance crews and the like.

Now I'd really have no problem with this except for one fact: They decided to park the coaches bringing these people to Armagh in my road. And start the bands practising from here. At eight o'clock in the fucking morning.

I hope they all die of heat stroke.
 
Two weeks ago I drove between Monaghan town and Armagh—my first time in the North. It was an eye-opener. The first town I came to was definitely not in the Jacobite camp.

I drive that road every Sunday when I go for lunch with the 'rents.

Was that your Porche I passed? I thought there was a whiff of fois gras trailing behind, but the penny didn't drop.

When someone starts playing music in my area that I don't like, I usually join in and sing along to their music.

Using my own words, of course. 8)

When I get it just right, the crowd starts laughing at them and joining in with me.

They find that much more discouraging than being yelled at.
 
orange is a terrible color.

except when used for field hockey uniforms. then it gives me a boner for some reason.

and that's about as deep as i plan on getting today.
 
If only the Irish were heathen, so they could all live together like good Christians!
