"Watching the drummer band in their orange and green wigs was scary" "think they were all high on something."

"It is British of course."

"Please don't talk at me or about me when I am gone; it is very impolite and I am sure no one here is that!" <b> This is a public forum. <b>

Paddy probably derives not from Patrick but from the non Anglicised Padraig and the Orange is actually Dutch. What people need to remember is that the White band on the flag was put there to symbolise the piece between the two beliefs.
