    Heh ! Respect for a dying breed. Let them go down with all the dignity they can muster in their declining years.

    Was wondering why the amount of Northern Registered Cars was higher than what I would normally see around Dublin. Now it makes sense the 12th of July. The exodus has begun.

    I've lived in the north all my life and still have no idea why anyone wants to celebrate the 12th. Getting pissed at a rubbish bonfire followed the next day by dandering up the road with a bit of cloth round your neck and banging a drum isn't exactly top class entertainment. And that's before we even touch on the sectarian element.

    Apologies to anyone here who thinks it's great.

    I've seen them do it in London as well, up in Westminster not far from Buckingham palace. The marching thing, not the bonfire bit obviously. They looked every bit as angry and standoffish over there too. I thought it odd because I was always of the understanding that the purpose of those marches was to intimidate their opponents, seemed like a bit of a waste goose stepping through Westminster throwing scowls at the confused and snap happy tourists

    Priest was making a joke about it on bbc newsline.
