The Glorious Twelfth
Does anyone celebrate in Australia?
Oh and I would also like to take this opportunity to wish any Ulstermen out there a happy 12th day of July.

Ulstermen -- who won what when?
I've a lot of NI friends so I tend to remain extremely neutral on anything political.

It's a large Protestant celebration in N. Ireland. The protestant king William of Orange( Toon may have heard of him, he was Dutch) defeated the catholic king James at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
In protestant areas they collect firewood, old sofas, pallets etc. etc for weeks ( they were already collecting when I was in Belfast at the end of May!!) and have a massive bonfire and piss-up on the 11th night( July 11th).
On the 12th the protestant marching bands have parades playing pipes whistles, drums etc. to traditional music which mostly celebrates the Protestants victory, superiority etc. much to the chagrin of their Catholic neighbors. Historically, there has been trouble between the two sides in the build up to celebrations for obvious reasons.
