Here we go again.

I hate these things: in the next town away: the walk is currently marching - about 90% of the shops have closed for the next few hours - and all I can hear are drums, flutes etc.

The place is at an utter standstill - and having seen some the the more 'respectable' ones - watching chavs following, swigging Cider / Lager / Buckie in one hand, dragging their kiddies with the other *- and knowing merry hell will erupt only too soon.

It's incredibly intimidating, it's full of bigotry no matter which way it's viewed and is a complete disruption.

Why on earth this all still is allowed to go on - beats the hell out of me.

*Rant over*

They are ****ing wankers, they should piss off, and I don't mean just today.

*waits for Novo to shoot me down*

Lee. · 09-07-2011, 11:47 AM

I'm completely against them.. I really don't know why they're allowed to be honest!

Pyramid* · 09-07-2011, 11:48 AM

Don't know how to edit my title.... but I of course, include HIBS walks in this as well.

Just mentioned Orange Walk as it's today - just to clear that one up!

That is more of a Republican march. We, Hibernian FC, haven't had a band in years and if we did it would have no association to the club whatsoever.

I amn't for it at all, thank god they tossers don't bother singing that ****e at our games, that would be embarrassing.

I know.. But if I dont' include it ... therein lies the opportunity for me being branded a bigot.

Yeah, I was just saying incase anyone thought you meant Hibernian FC. We moved on from that crap in the 70's... just wish the Old Firm would do the same, but that's not happening any time soon.

What is this? I'm confused.

What is an orange walk?

It's when a bunch of nutters/trouble makers get together, play some flute and drums and mar h about the streets to remind us we are a protestant country.

sounds annoying.

In this costal town I'm in once a year some gangs (pagans or something) go stab each other on the beach.

it's hard to describe Charlie if you haven't witnessed it - the atmosphere is fully charged - and not in a good way. You are just waiting for when it will kick off: and when it does, it is in the most brutal of ways: with NO ONE being given exception.

It is the most intimidating, threatning situation. And rather than getting 'better' - it seems to get worse with each passing year.

Bigotry exists on both sides: and it's those ones that incite - nay, thrive on this type of thing - as it is nothing more than an excuse for serious rammies to kick off. It's horrible.

I'm no 'wallflower' type - as everyone on here knows... I'm a bolshy mare - but even this: scares the hell out of me.

and often, they will stop outside a Celtic pub / club...for nothing more than to antagonise.

I remember unwholly hell kicking off where I live a few years ago when the police actually allowed this to happen - they route had been given the 'okay' - knowing exactly what would erupt.

Oh for Christ sake why do people actually care.

I'd be sf annoyed if they did that where I live. D;

Scum of the earth.

Jords · 09-07-2011, 12:00 PM

I was gonna ask what they are too

Niamh. · 09-07-2011, 12:33 PM

I didn't realise they did those in Scotland too, I thought it was only Northern Ireland. Personally, I think anything like that, that's purpose seems to be to antagonise people is bad and shouldn't be allowed.

Yep....... those who are 'interested', the whole social summer calendar is geared up and around the big walk......

hours later and I am now utterly sick of banging drums, flutes ruining what otherwise would be a gorgeous, sunny, peaceful Satruday afternoon- and anyone in their right minds are not venturing far - as the whole place is at a standstill.

hope they all suffer serious sunburn.
