12th July 2008


Have a great 12th July. Remember King William and all that he gave us as a Nation.

To the glorious, pious and immortal memory of King William III, who saved us from rogues and roguery, slaves and slavery, knaves and knavery, from brass money and wooden shoes: and whoever denies this toast may he be slammed, crammed and jammed into the muzzle of the great gun of Athlone, and the gun fired into the Pope's belly, and the Pope into the devil's belly, and the devil into hell, and the door locked, and the key forever in an Orangeman's pocket.


If I had a penny
Do you know what I would do?
I would buy a rope
And hang the pope
And let King Billy through!

ah yes: Time to get you to move to "Star of the Golden West??" now you are at home more often. You can still stay on our books as an associate or whichever way you want to do it.

"If I had one Son if I had ten
they would all be brought up to
Be Loyal Orangemen. If the Pope
Says no, there is go'n to be a
Show. On the Banks of the Boyne in
the mornining"

twice around the Gas works once down window lane... those were the days

Hi Dave, well the 12th was glorious over here in the UK, shame the weather wasn't so good with you. Maybe it is a sign you should have been somewhere else on this special day!!! Russell & I were 'briefly' on the live telecast from Belfast, it is on the BBC website for viewing. Carol & Ali were on it more standing at the side of the road. Typical! It was a great parade though. Love to all of you, Iain, Carol & kids.
