He said: “This is not a time for celebration, we do not want to rub their noses in it.” A colleague added: “If Sir Hugh Annesley had let us do this on Sunday there would have been none of this hassle.”Back at the Church of Ascension, the scene of the stand-off at Drumcree, it was hard to believe that this church had been a flashpoint for Ulster’s future. With the barbed wire and barricades gone, the route outside the graveyard looked like any other quiet country lane.”It’s just a church again,” said one Orangeman as he took off his sash.. A local community leader, Brendan MacCionnaith, also at the talks, added: “We have been stitched up. Hopes of peace were batoned away in Garvaghy Road.”In heavy rain, the centre of Portadown returned to a semblance of normality as the Orangemen dispersed to prepare for last night’s 11 July bonfire celebrations.At Orange Hall, crates of beer and bottles of whisky were carried in. We just don’t have any rights any more.Youths from the estate were now in full-scale conflict with the RUC; four cars were set on fire, and missiles and fireworks descended on the officers.Father Eamon Stack, who had been in the earlier negotiations, condemned the “heavy-handed” police tactics “We have lost a great opportunity,” he said.

“Maybe the RUC will think twice before they ban it again.”The whole parade took just 23 minutes – but it left indelible scars for the locals. Oonagh Burke, 23, said: “We’re leaving now and moving to the south or to a safer Catholic area. Police retaliated with baton rounds.The Orangemen marched on with no sound, except the steady beat of a single drum.But by the time the parade reached the Protestant area of Park Road, they were joined by thousands from other lodges who looked back and shouted and jeered at the Catholics “This is a victory for us,” said one. We’re just second class citizens – white niggers.”The violence flared quickly. A hastily arranged sit-in by 300 residents on the main marching route was forcibly removed by baton-wielding RUC officers who fired rounds of plastic bullets when they were challenged.Claire Digim watched in horror. A group of youths, some in masks to hide their faces, pelted officers with stones and bottles from Churchill Road, and let off four petrol bombs. “They fired more rounds in 20 minutes at us than in four days at the Orangemen – and they were aiming for us.”Soldiers moved in to roll away barbed wire and up to 1,500 Portadown District Lodge members walked through four-abreast at 12.47pm.”Keep your heads up”, shouted supporters as the group, led by the Star of David Accordion Band, made up mainly of young girls, began to march.There was no mood of celebration at this point, but within five minutes the mood electrified as the parade moved past Catholic houses.One resident surveyed the marchers and said: “I have voted for the SDLP all my life, but now Sinn Fein will definitely get my vote.

But when it came, its swiftness took a disbelieving Catholic community by surprise. Within minutes, fearing people could die if the stand-off continued, he ordered that the march should go ahead through the Catholic area.Rumours had swept both communities late on Wednesday that the end, negotiated or otherwise, was imminent. Church leaders and two delegations, one from the Orangemen and one from Catholic residents, had gathered at 9am in the offices of Ulster Carpets, at the end of the Catholic Garvaghy Road.
Two senior churchmen – the Primate of Ireland, Archbishop Dr Robin Eames, and the Catholic primate Cardinal Cahal Daly – hoped to broker a last- minute deal to appease both sides over the marching route.For more than two hours, Protestants and Catholics sat in separate rooms as churchmen shuttled between them, desperately looking for agreement. None came, and by 11.30am RUC Land-Rovers were already moving into the Garvaghy area.At 11.45am, the RUC Chief Constable, Sir Hugh Annesley, took a call from church leaders to say the negotiations had failed. Albert Einstein had no body hair.”Psychiatry conference, page 7. After four days of dramatic stand-off, the end of the siege of Drumcree came in a carpet factory. In comparison, he said, “Look at Muhammed Ali: boxers are not at all hairy.”He did hold out some hope for the smooth-skinned, however.

“Men with plentiful body hair tend to be more intelligent, but there are also very intelligent men with little or no body hair. Eve shows you that inside this coarsened figure, a vestigial, highly sensitive individual is looking on, appalled. Remembering his patient who died under chloroform, Eve has to suppress a dreadful shaking fit rather than the usual shudder. Dr Aikarakudy Alias, a psychiatrist, who has been working on the relationship between body hair and intelligence for 22 years, told the eighth Congress of the Association of European Psychiatrists yesterday that hairy chests are more likely to be found amongst doctors and the highly educated than in the general population.
His research amongst medical students in America found that 45 per cent of male trainee doctors were “very hairy”, compared with less than 10 per cent of men generally. In Kerala, southern India, research among medical and engineering students and manual labourers showed that both groups of students had more body hair on average than manual workers.In addition, “When academic ranking amongst students was examined, the hairier men got better grades,” said Dr Alias. The top six engineering graduates had more hair than the bottom eight.And a study of 117 Mensa members (who have an IQ of at least 140) were also found to have a tendency to thick body hair.

Some of the most intelligent men appeared to be those who had hair on their backs as well as on their chests.Dr Alias, who kept his shirt firmly buttoned up yesterday, cited Robin Williams, Peter Sellers, the chess player Garry Kasparov and Charles Darwin as hairy men of high intelligence. Tom Jones has long been a symbol of raunchiness, tight trousers and Cuban heels. But, according to new research, his excessive body hair could also mean he has high intelligence

It seems we have been wrong to write off medallion man. Tit- for-tat bans on individual American citizens seeking to visit Britain would be hard to introduce. More likely, officials say, is a strengthening of the little-used Protection from Trading Restraints Act, which permits recovery in British courts of damages suffered abroad. A formidable batch of countermeasures are being planned around the world.
