What on earth are they thinking?
 

Surely they can't really intend to set fire to this???? :eek:

The pyre of tyres

Gayle can probably get them a grant for it. ;)

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
 

Are they a law unto themselves in the North of Ireland? it is against the law to dispose of tyres in this manner. The toxic fumes will be terrible for the poor people who live near the fire, surely the powers that be will put a stop to this?

I don't know where the idea that the Irish are daft comes from.:eek:

Here's a photograph of a thousand tyres on fire.

With the wind currently blowing from the west, and this pyre containing much more than a thousand tyres, I suggest we all close our windows tonight.:D

Ian, don't forget that the "powers that be" are/is Ian Paisley. He's probably going to light it!

Incidentally, nice to see a Union Flag fluttering outside someone's house there!

Nearly as bad as the reek from the refinary up hear and proberly stinks as bad. :eek: Not ideal and will have enviromentalists throwing a wobbler in the corridors of power.

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
 

Yes but they have the Irish flag on top of the pyre Wynonie (S):D

Norn Ireland. :D:D

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
 

I think that's because they plan on burning it. ;)

I hope they're going to plant a few trees afterwards, to make up for all the carbon emission.

Re: What on earth are they thinking?
 

Might need half a forest to offset that much carbon emissions.
