Last night.
In Cork city.
It was Bonna Night.
Paddy O’Shea, of Norries from Cork, writes:
These four confident kids on Kilmore Road, in Knocknaheeny, built their own fire and were proud as punch.
Meanwhile…
Paddy adds:
Residents of Glen Heights with their communal bonfire (top). They arranged their own wardens and controlled it. This was probably the biggest fire, hitting about 20 feet at its peak. Above are two residents of Knocknaheeny posing with a shoe they found to throw into the fire.
Thanks Paddy

There’s probably a joke about bin charges in there somewhere.
Come to Ireland! It’s beautiful!
And we’re in the EU… unlike some people I could mention.
Looks lovely, just lovely….
Posing with a shoe that will give off toxic fumes when on fire, along with God knows what else they threw on the fire. Ridiculous.
“posing with a shoe they found to throw into the fire”
I mean… that sentence sums it up, really, doesn’t it?

That’s the dream. Living on Tanora and Barry’s Tea and Black Pud and donkey gudge with all the other feens and beors.
Savage.
Ah I’d love a slab of Gudge
An’ don’t leave out Thoma BreadBodice , Drisheen, or Skirts the next time ‘ithr
No Cork person, self-respecting or otherwise, would ever call it Donkey’s Gudge.
True
A Chester for me
But that doesn’t mean we’d say no if offered a square a’ Donkey’s Gudge or Donkey’s Wedding Cake if you’re from Klanky Tang
Yikes.
Feel like I need a hot brandy by an open fire from just looking at those pictures.
Eugh … I feel povo from looking at them.
La Crème de la crème of Irish people right there. Lovely.
Damn right
The best a’ people
How do you even just find a shoe lying about the place?
Heather Mills on a sleepover.
A lot of people coming from or going to sport meeting or their exercise routines, but the looks of it.
Packie Bonna?
Trash fire full of poison on the streets, trash fire full of poison in the comments. As above so below.

nice classist heroes on this thread
Bonna as in Bonna Night
23rd June
Is Cork for Bonfire
Btw Paddy, that photo from Knocka is gorgeous
‘hope it gets picked up for ya
It’s a fantastic shot, isn’t it?
Knocknaheeny and gorgeous in the same sentence – that’s a first.
What a bunch of snide ladyparts you people can be….
Never heard of this nonsense. Cork looks as rough as bags.
Not that toxic fumes would hurt children’s mental development or anything…
Get over yourself. There were kids down the mines for decades and some lived long healthy lives.
Vast majority died young of respiratory complications but that is not the point. It’s only a little bonfire FFS.
Oh look, the underclass. Let’s patronise them by reinforcing their stereotypes and never ever ask the question…. Why does this deprivation exist in a wealthy country?
Well maybe if they stopped burning their footwear Tish, they could simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps
You should employ them in your company. The one that totally exists.
What a bonfire in June, no hoodies, no boozing, no fighting, no ambulances and no fire brigade.

For Fathering Sunday, please give the Golden Discs voucher to… someone who doesn’t ask that snooze-boring fupping song again.
As a matter of fact, now that it’s won will you please stop people from asking for it again, please? That would seem cool.
I hate that song.
It makes me fall asleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
WHAT?
No, I’m awake…
What?
