jdubya, you're posting late. Have you moved to Australia or something?

Yours is good, too.

Hehe, brilliant.
Lots of mileage in this spoof.

Just so people get it Orange is a term that is used to describe protestants i.e the orange walk etc.

It might be a scottish thing but yeah if you don't get it, it will just seem unnecessarily jammed on!

God Im glad its alright though!

Yeah, I only got it after Bandage spelled it out for me!
But I guess if the actor had a Scottish accent, everyone would catch on, except thickos such as moi. ;)

If accents are used I'd imagine Northern Irish would work best

I can't always tell the difference anyway.
Use Australian.

That sounds like a punchline

If you need to explain it, then that's all the proof needed that it should be cut. There's still a joke without those final two words, but with them on the end you've had to explain it.

FWIW, I 'got' it (as far as meaning Protestant), but haven't heard it used as a term of reference like that previously, so it felt terribly awkward and forced.

Although I suppose it depends on where you'd be intending to use it. A pub in Northern Ireland would get it, but they wouldn't have a clue in, say, Birmingham.

P.S. Congratulations on post 240,000! \o/

240,000 what?

Given today's news, you could do a topical Gary Glitter adaptation
