usainboltyarocket Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 It's also true that they've got every right to walk along Her Majesty's Highway. (Providing rules are adhered to etc....) And, as long as we hold dear free speech and all that jazz, they'll continue to do it. Do we the tax payer have to pay for policing though?

Orraloon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 No shit sherlock. I dare say with the right technique and practice you could perfect it, perhaps using some wee tool to breach the skin after which with enough momentum you would get through no bother, much like after a balloon is popped. Who knows but he also risked a kicking each time he did it no doubt. Plenty of wee tools on orange walks, right enough. Getting back to the cartoon possibilities of your imaginative story though. I could just see him making it through the the first side of the drum but not the second. Being stuck inside the drum would over balance the drum carrier, causing him, the drum and the stuck acrobat to take off, at a fair rate of knots, rolling down the hill, being rapidly pursued by the rest of the band who had now broken into Benny Hill style chase music.

Yeah well you seem to know a worringly large amount about the strength of the skins on a Lambeg drum circa 1960 & 70's. Orra(nge)lo(dge)on? Coinincidence, I dont think so..

Coinincidence, I dont think so.. I've spent time - not a lot of it mind - in hotel rooms on tour smaller than some Lambeg dums...

I could have a party in these: What do you reckon then, could a determined man run and jump and through one mid march? They look pretty doable to me from that photo.

EddardStark Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I've spent time - not a lot of it mind - in hotel rooms on tour smaller than some Lambeg dums... I could have a party in these: Is this clip in Northern Ireland or Scotland? My guess is NI where the Lambeg is rooted in the history of both communities.
