Can't wait! OrangeFest is almost here!!

Pyramids? Pah! Mere sandcastles compared to our bone-fires

Please notr: This is not a solid structure. The inside is filled entirely with old tyres. Anybody care to take a guess as to how many old tyres are needed to completely fill a structure this big?

Anybody know of another place in the 'UK' where the local authority pays, yes pays through grant funding, for the burning of stolen property (the pallets) and the illegal burning of thousands of tyres?

Fucking gyppos, coming around stealing stuff etc etc

Someone should just arson the bloody things.

That, Artaxerxes my dear boy, would get you a Prosecution for (and I bullshit you not) committing a 'Hate Crime'.

Or you could go the route of complaining to the PSNI. Lots of people did exactly that - and were told that (agian, I bullshit you not) there was 'no evidence'... cos it has all been burnt

In hindsight, perhaps siting the Stevens Inquiry team in the middle of a pallet warehouse was something of a mistake.

Last year there was a spree of it happening. Sometimes it was nationalist youths sometimes it was rival estates so they could have the highest one.

It's quite a dangerous thing to do though. Most of these things are manned even at night time. Get caught trying to light one of these things and god knows what they're likely to do.

Some buzz though

 

[LiamO]

Actually that's just too flippant.

Any of these get torched and some poor token Taig that happens to be wandering nearby is getting it

Were pallets and tyres even invented in 1690?

Just because we like our traditions doesn't mean we can't move with the times

They've reached about 1931, bit more moving to do.

Oh yeah, a kneecapping if your lucky.

Still we must respect these cultural differences I suppose

UDA boss Stitt's gang behind theft of bonfire pallets stored by Belfast City Council - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

Both unbelievable and bloody funny...

A UDA gang led by notorious paramilitary Dee Stitt was behind the theft of 2,300 pallets that were being stored in secret by Belfast City Council.

The wood now adorns the publicly-paid Charter NI chief executive’s towering bonfire in Bangor’s Kilcooley estate, which is even bigger than usual.
---
A Bangor UDA source told us: “When our men stole the pallets from the Gransha Road they didn’t know that they were being stored there by the council for bonfires on Chobham Street and Sandy Row.

“Dee thought we had touched lucky with the pallets and had his Kilcooley bonfire built early to show off. It’s bigger than ever.

“It’s only later that he was told that the pallets belonged to other bonfire builders — he hit the roof when he found out.”
---
“Dee went into panic mode, he didn’t know what to do,” added our UDA source.

“At first he denied we stole the pallets from the council site, then he admitted it and said he would make sure they were returned. But Dee is too vain to pull down the Kilcooley bonfire and rebuild it with a smaller version, so he’s ordered us to go out and get pallets and hand them over to Chobham Street and Sandy Row.”

That gene pool is not only shrinking but very, very murky.

I guess they cropped that photo of Stitt for reasons of space...

How big is the security on those bonfires? I bet they'd be easy enough to arson with the right tools and manpower.

The requirements there may be considerable.

If one is seeking right tools then these notably, how shall I put it, flegmatic pallet enthusiasts would seem a reasonable place to start

How long have some Northern Irish people been burning pallets and tyres?

 

[flypanam]

'Fuck your shared future' from the very people who under the Union don't fucking have one. It's sad.

My parents neighbour will be off to Rossnowlagh tomorrow. He and his family will come back and their cattle will have been watered and their dogs fed, by my taigy parents. That's Monaghan for you.

eta I think Rossnowlagh is the Saturday before the 12th.

What's the worst that can happen?

 

[cupid_stunt]

That's fucking nuts.
