A timely reshare for the Open in Portrush.🏌️

A few years back, before the world lost the plot 👀 we had the best craic making content (like this) with our friends at Harp. 👋

We were fortunate to work with an amazing cast of talent for many years, such as Brendan, Jonny & Francis here, who between them have gone on to star in acclaimed Netflix shows, Fox comedy series, critically acclaimed stage productions and big budget movies. 👊 (Brendan even won a National Television award 🏆). Our other cast members have gone onto appear in Derry Girls, BBCNI comedy and more.

These wee videos are just content to those watching, but for us they are cherished memories of great times working with good friends and fellow creatives, making nonsense. We miss it, but are very proud to see them all do so well. 👊

Anyway, enough mushy stuff. 🤦‍♂️ Here's a wee story about two top Irish-American golfers coming to Portrush to explore their heritage in the old country. 🇺🇸

Who wants more Ulster Fry original content? 👀

It's been an extremely warm couple of days in NI. People all across the country couldn't sleep with the heat wafting in their windows last night🌡️ And then later, when the bonfires went out🔥 and sun came up, it got even hotter again. ☀️🥵

Fair play to the Orange Order for looking out for people today. 😎 Glad to see the sunshine had everyone in good spirits and outta trouble.

Here's our friends from Pure D̶e̶r̶r̶y̶ Londonderry with all today's news.

ORANGE ORDER RELAXES TRADITIONAL DRESS CODE AS TEMPERATURE SOARS 🌡️

This year's Twelfth celebrations became even more colourful than usual, after the Orange Order announced a temporary relaxation of their traditional dress code, to allow marchers to stay cool amid today's mini heatwave. ☀️

“I got up this morning and put on my aul black suit as usual” revealed 45 year old, Nelson Drive from the Waterside area of the city.

“But I was sweating my balls off by the time I got downstairs. So I was never as relieved when the LOL WhatsApp group pinged to say we could wear whatever summer wear we wanted!”

The move sent protestants across the country Bermuda-short barmy, as they scrambled to change into the summer wear to take part in today's parades.

“We take tradition very seriously obviously” explained Orange Order Grandmaster, Steven Edwardson. “But when I heard Barra Best explain that today was gonna be wile close and pure sweltering, I knew we had to put the safety of our members first ”

The move was welcomed by marchers across the city, many of whom revelled in the new relaxed dress code today.

“It was a bit weird matching in flip flops to begin with” admitted 37 year old Lincoln Courts “but once I got the hang of it I was loving life.”

“Although playing a lambeg drug when your hands are covered in factor 50 is a whole handling” he added.

Not everyone was happy about the changes though.

“I think it's disgraceful that we've broken with tradition today” remarked local loyalist, Michael Knightsbridge. “Orange Order members wearing short-shorts amid the current Kneecap controversy is disgraceful, and tone deaf!"

Today's ridiculously good weather has only heightened long held nationalist suspicions that ‘God is a Prod’.

A spokesman for heaven refused to comment.

CONOR MCGREGOR APPOINTED NEW LEADER OF THE DUP

Following his recent remarks that people living in the North of Ireland can’t claim to be Irish, former UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been sensationally appointed as the new leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, the Ulster Fry has learned.

“With the threat of a United Ireland now looming more than ever, we need a new strong leader who isn’t afraid to fight for our place in the union and remind people in the north that they live under British rule” explained a DUP spokesman.

The move has surprised the DUP electorate, who were shocked that the Dublin man has switched allegiance from the UFC to the UFF.

“I always thought he was a bit of a ballbag” admitted Belfast born Georges Market Pierre. “But with his recent s*x scandals, the Trump and Farage bromances and those comments about catholics in the North not really being Irish, it’s hard to argue that he isn’t qualified”

McGregor visited Belfast today to outline his vision for the future.

“As soon as I heard the DUP had strong party lines I knew this was the job for me.” explained the sc***um faced shortarse whilst beating an 80 year old Lambeg drum in a local pub.

“I won’t just be saying ‘No’ to everything, I’ll be saying absolutely f**king nothing!”

McGregor claimed that this year’s marching season will be 'the biggest and best yet”, with free booze and coke for everyone who turns up.

“We’re gonna have a ‘Proper Twelfth’” he explained

Fellow MMA fighter, Derry born Paul Hughes, who was at the centre of the controversy, was unavailable for comment.

“It’s Londonderry” added McGregor.

We predicted the future again.

In a move that shows that it's getting harder and harder to make stuff up, German supermarket giant Lidl has revealed plans to include a pub in its new branch in Dundonald. "We're delighted to announce plans for our first ever bar in Northern Ireland," said regional manager James Crownfield. "We'

Evening folks,

We're getting messages about the popular 'Snow Surrender', 'Our Sleigh Will Come' and 'Foundered'Christmas jumpers we've sold in the past. We took our own shap offline earlier this year to reorganise - but (FYI) Seamus is selling them in on his wee shap if yees want one.

You can get them on hoodies (new), jumpers, tees and mugs, and cos its Black Friday, everything is a FIVER cheaper, this weekend only.

We'll b**g the link for an 'Ulster Fry Collection' below and sure youse can all argue whether to use the purederry or purelondonderry domain in the comments. 👇

Happy shopping!

Looking back to the future, not a single person in Northern Ireland, whether man or woman, unionist or nationalist, catholic or protestant, culchie or townie, had: 'Edwin Poots son to look like one of the Libyans who shot Doc Brown whilst turning up for court in a tractor' on their bingo card back in the 90s!
