I swear to God and I'm not joking, bang one of those things next to me and there will be blood.

You probably wouldn't enjoy an Oranger Order march either. :(

No, and for more reasons than just the drum

That’s a shame. I’m sure they’d enjoy having you come along.

I had a thought about pre match entertainment. They could round up a couple of Zulu's of the Small Heath variety (shouldn't be too difficult as we all know they're everywhere in the city centre) and parade them on the pitch at about 15 mins before kick of. Then....release the lions (real lions of course) obviously being Zulus the lions wouldn't stand much of a chance , but it would get the atmosphere rocking.

Unrelated, but I was staying at the Gresham in Cork many years ago, and was asked for ID in the bar. Seeing my name, the barman said it was nice to have a tourist from an Irish background who didn't go around announcing it to everyone.

This got us onto a brief conversation while he was pouring my pint about memorable guests that he'd served.

Apparently, a couple of weeks beforehand, there was a loud, very tall American staying there, who told him - without prompting - that he was Irish. The barman replied, "oh yeah?" and immediately the bloke said, "that's right, my grandfather was an orangeman!"

(I laughed, and the barman said "as you can imagine, that went down about as well as yer man who told the chef he didn't like the fry at breakfast, and could himself make him some pancakes instead." My drink now poured, I laughed again and asked what the chef had said: "Pancakes? Ye's not in fuckin' Dublin now, boy!")

Love that.

I love Dublin, but the suspicion and contempt many people from the South West in particular feel towards 'the big city' always makes me laugh.

Anyway, sorry for the digression.

As ever I see people discussing the thing on Twitter but never what the thing actually is. I'm old.
