    I was passing through Kilcock this evening, and I saw this plume of black smoke rising from out behind the Chewing Gum factory. I investigated further and a building at the back of it was blazing away, anly about 30 feet from an apartment block! There were people watching, cars pulling up, mini explosions going off in the building, it was incredible! I left before the fire brigade arrived. Anyone have any more info about this? I hope nobody was hurt:(

    Did you not ring the fire brigade yourself before you pulled up? How did you know that you weren't first on the scene?:confused:

    Maybe he started the fire & by posting here, he's trying get himself an alibi to wrigley his way out of it?

    I guess you could say, a chewing gum factory is on fire in Kilcock.

    You should always ring the fire brigade, even if you're not first on scene (well no need if you happen to be talking to a person that has rang them).

    Why did the chewing gum cross the road?

    It was stuck on the chicken's foot.

    Insurance jobs are a trident tested method of getting a few quid.

    Probably started by that same fellow who shot out Dana's tyres from the grassy knoll there in Kilcock. I heard he'd been seen arson around the place:D:D:D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,342 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    This sounds menthol

    They're also a significant factor in the exOrbitant insurance premiums that businesses have to pay nowadays.

    If you have to make the pun in bold, it's not a good pun.

    I heard it was deliberate. They were under threat of getting closed down due to performing some weird ex-spearmints


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,357 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    An exspearmint gone wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,675 ✭✭✭ronnie3585


    Juicy Fruit.

    FFS AHers, 33 replies and not one actually detailing the extent (if any) of the actual fire. One pun is funny, two is pushing it. More is thanks whoring.

    Any details on the fire itself?

    I never said whether I did or I didnt, and I wasnt keeping track of what order I arrived on the scene:mad:

    Dont get ya

    Hope no one was hurt!

    You should always ring the fire brigade, even if you're not first on scene (well no need if you happen to be talking to a person that has rang them).

    Well thats exactly what happened, my mate sitting beside me rang!


    So nayone hear anything about this? Seriously, it was so close to houses, I'd say there'll be some type of damage done to them. Who'd get called out to that, Trim fire brigade or Leixlip?

    truth, some of the posts here show no compassion, it'd really stick in your gut.

    If this is real, be ashamed of the puns.

    If someone was to make a joke about the floods after them 2 people died it'd be
    all hell breaking loose, someone could be dead for all anyone knows..If this is true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    They're using Bazookas, someone better talk to Joe...

    Did this happen or is this thread just a píss take?

    (No that's not a pun on a korean brand of chewing gum called "píss take")

    Anyone?
