Middle Class Area= No Bonfire, Working Class Area= Burn The Whole Thing Down

Voltex · 31-10-2009 10:19PM #1

I wanted to bring my son to see a bonfire ( his first) and drove around our area (considered a middle class area) for ages looking for one...but just couldnt seem to find one.

I then found myself in a working class part of Tallaght that seemed to have a bonfire on every street corner and with groups of people seeminly set up to be there for the long haul...

Im just curious now as to why that would be...

Alot of un-sold bintags in Tallaght this week i would also think!

I live in Tallaght and we threw our old wooden garden table on the field this morning assuming it would be gone pretty quick. Still there now though. I think Tallaght may be coming up in the world.

Surely you mean welfare class ......:D

I wonder is there any correlation between the amount of bangers, bonfires and fireworks around the ****holes of north/south Dublin and the amount of dirty scabby scumbag druggies in Dublin city centre. If there is then it will be the busiest ever Halloween for the emergency services. I wouldn't shed too many tears if most of the inner city slums burnt to the ground tonight.

Yeah that'd be great. It'd be even better if they were full of working class people and immigrants. :rolleyes:

Green belts and the working class don't mix!

Only because they graze their horses on them.

I lived in a working class area until around the age of 12. There was always a range of bonfires going on around this time of year.

Since then I've lived out in a suburban area and the only bonfire here every year goes on in the one council estate.

Harse, these guys had a great time in Ballymun and didn't want to leave at all:

In Finglas today i seen a garda van and a crowd of people ,so me not being nosey or anything drove past to see what the problem was

Turned out the corpo had turned up to take away all the contents of the bonfire the local lads had collected over a period of time and were setting it up,and the kids parents were not impressed what was going on and this is why the gardai were called

TBH i think they should have left them to it because now they will have a very big bee in their bonnet and might or probably will take it out on somebody else and give the ES a lot more to do

In middle and upper class areas the people actually take pride in their communities.

There was a report about this on the news there. The corporation spend 150,000 cleaning up bonfires so they prefer to nip it in the bud. They burn their first borns instead now, which is cheaper to clean up.

Interesting - don't want to hijack this thread but you will notice a trend - bonfires, tracksuits, Ireland flags during world cups all there in working class areas and not at all in middle class areas.

Does it surprise you with the way the little scumbags act around the Emergency Services??? It's a sad world when a ten year old hits a fire fighter in the face with a brick...

Im actually surprised by how blunt boardies are...
I was trying to be tactile in how I titled this thread....looks like I neddnt have bothered

All the PC boarders are out dressed up as gardeners and yoked off their faces on some sort of natural cocktail.

whadabouchasir · 31-10-2009 11:18PM

I don't get this thread,do people have a problem with bonfires?And if so why don't you actually do something about it insted of moaning on boards? Now I'm off to set fire to a pile of wooden pallets.

Dublin Corporation should look into their own malpractices before they start spouting off about spending money

How many times have you seen six men looking into a hole while one is digging and three other ones sitting in three trucks reading the Sun
