I hear that one of the main bonfires in Belfast accidently caught fire last night and is no more

The girls in the office are wondering what I'm laughing at.

Oh dear.................

I don't understand.

3 July - A big pile of firewood and stuff is set on fire in a housing estate and the fire brigade comes out and puts it out.
11 July - A big pile of firewood and stuff is set on fire in a housing estate and the fire brigade stays at home.

How does that work?

I dont go near the bonfires. I know a few who live in small rural areas who tell me its a more community thing there, but the ones in belfast are awful.

The one time i went was when a yank was staying with us and wanted to go see what the fuss was about - so being the only prod i took him. Went to the donegal pass one. Big fire, lots of cheap drink being knocked back by 15 year olds and a big cheer when the tricolour went up. Dull as f**k, why would anyone be bothered
Only one thing that surprised me was noone gave us a second look - i was expecting a few questions as unknowns in such an area at the time.

Went to the donegal pass one...

That reminds me of a few marching seasons back, I took a wander up the Donegall Pass (not realising just what a nest it was), with my 'discreet' Celtic polo top on. Spotted a bunch of goons outside the butcher's apron festooned  pub about halfways up ('Hideout' I think?) and thought I've three choices: I can either cross over or turn back, both of which would have raised the red flag, or I can strut from here like I owned the place. Marched straight through them, without even an eyelid being batted! Phew!

Must be my orange head, NOT!

A dodgy looking establishment if ever i saw one.

'Tis that nifan, not the kind of place that would compel the ordinary Protestant to have a pint therein.
