At least 8 of the main characters in the film - George, John, George Martin, Billy Preston, Linda McCartney (who strangely didn't attend the rooftop show) Maureen Starr, Neil Aspinal and Mal Evans are no longer with us.

While I don't hold up with any of these conspiracy theories I do find it a bit strange that it's now taking them so long to go back. I think the current programme has a timeline of 2026. Surely they could have just dusted down Apollo 11 and used it in the meantime

Lost count of the number of 'celebrities' who have claimed that they 'considered taking their own life' when they got themselves into some handling !
Mind you Caroline Flack RIP wasn't bluffing.

I see some lad fell down a right distance of one yesterday after lighting it, I would say he has a fair chance of being at his next bonfire paralysed in a wheelchair
Natural selection. Time they were banned.

One of MutantArds finest it seems fell quite a height too, he'll be lucky to walk again by the looks of it.

But sure the local RUFF/EB UVF or whoever oversees that particular bonfire in EA ground (it used to be a primary school) will see to it that he and his family are well looked after.

What I have noticed is this Flaggelation is a class thing, very few flags up in the "developments" in Newtownards or Holywood when I went through it the other day, it's just the sink estates like the Westwinds and the Bowtown Road (pronounced boot-on) where the fleggers seems to be their strongest.
Who fell off the Ards bonfire? Was it the one in Bowtown?  I thought it had moved from a bonfire to a beacon some years ago. Send me a PM if you don't want to go public

This issue needs to be discussed here rather than the thread it's currently being discussed on

This topic needs to be removed from this thread and given a thread of its own

I did see a photo myself which, had the queen not already been dead, would have killed her. But what about MR's suggestion that it could be some one from these shores?

As a result of privatisation NI Electricity is now owned by ESB. The loyalist workers in the power stations in Carrickfergus and Larne who were able to bring the place to a standstill in the 1970s at the drop of Paisley's hat must love that

God bless Thatcherism which created a nation of shareholders and which paved the way for huge private sector profits and salaries, the eventual purchase of all the major utilities- gas, water and electricity to foreign governments and now the need for taxpayer's to come back in to possibly bale them out. You couldn't make it up

There's gonna be loads of mortgage defaults, repossessions, property fire sales, former family homes bought by wealthy landlords and the rich get richer. Sad thing is that those who are caught are younger people who voted remain and the purchasers most likely Brexiteers

How do UK interest rates compare with Ireland and the rest of the UK?
