Though the local (yank run) international school doesn't do Christmas because it's "non-inclusive". But Halloween is fine.

A burning bush would be more Christian than a non-burning Christmas tree. One that doesn't go out.

Oh, they got in the room, dragged the tree in behind them. Set up the tree in front of the now closed door. Then set it on fire.
Sounds like a rather unusual method of suicide to me. Hey, but whatever rocks your boat.

Expect more heath and safety ballpats from those fire service twits. It's in their interest to scaremonger. Helps get them more gleaming red fire-engines. Read yesterday that now we are advised if we have a chip pan fire, to let our houses burn down whilst we call them and wait for them to tackle this kitchen menace. One that I myself have personally dealt with in seconds without drama recently (damp towel job over the pan job).

Firefighters in wood burns when lit shocka!
It's a scandal, under the Sainted Maggie we wouldn't have had combustible wood. It's all that Tony Blairs fault!

Careful with that Christmas tree
Firefighters have released dramatic footage of a Christmas tree going up in flames as a warning to homeowners.
Firefighters said the the speed of the blaze spreading would mean that even if a person were awake in the room they probably would not escape.Tags: None
