Title: Irish = Bad Bad Bad
Post by: Clinker on July 07, 2017, 11:44:24 PM
First three stories on the news.

1. Belfast City Council (which has an Irish party as their biggest party) have been granted an injunction to stop any more bone fire building at four sites in the city. (by the way - what is a bon? - heard of bon-bons  - French sweets.)

2 Aer Lingus has cancelled flights to holiday destinations in September and are now finishing in August despite local people having bookings on the September flights.

3rd story on the news. 11 year old impaled on a metal rod at the IRISH Open Golf tournament.
Why are they having it here impaling our children? Do they not have any golf courses of their own?

See them Irish and the twelfth coming up and all!

Quotelate Middle English: from bone + fire. The term originally denoted a large open-air fire on which bones were burned (sometimes as part of a celebration), also one for burning heretics or proscribed literature. Dr. Johnson accepted the mistaken idea that the word came from French bon 'good.'

By the way - it was mentioned that this is prompted by "public safety concerns" due to the size already of the four bone fires.

It should have been issued on the relevant regulations and laws pertaining to air quality and disposal of tyres.

All parties in Belfast City Council are Irish.

Aren't there enough real issues to complain about?

You can smell the claim coming... no doubt the judge will ignore the question of what the child was doing on the wall in the first place.
