Did any one see them? Any idea what was going on?
I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!

    Yeah I saw them on way to son's guitar lesson about 6.15. He thought it was a volcano lol! Did look v strange though - 4 or 5 patches blazing away. Never heard anything on the news though.
    Life's a box of beads - rainbow coloured and full of surprises!:D

    I was coming up the m2 on the bus around 6.45 and I seen them. Have heard nothing about it myself. Seen red flashing lights near them and 7 or so, but that's it.

    Think they were visible from throughout the city. I could see them from the Lisburn Road, including the actual flames from the fires. Likely kids from west Belfast responsible.

    Nothing to get alarmed about, its just the annual burning of witches, heritics and black cats

    Yeah there was a row of them along the top of the mountain, right next to the Divis transmitter.

    They'll be setting fire to it next and we'll be without telly for a while!
  • Obviously it's the local authorites fault because these poor kids have nothing to do in the evenings..

    Lets hope some of the little sods set themselves on fire...

    Let's not be pessimistic, change "some" to "all!" :rotfl:
