How do you even start a fire in all this rain?

How do you even start a fire in all this rain?

And something made of iron too!

PULL IT DOWN

 

[Finn]

And something made of iron too!

Yeah, what exactly are the logistics here.

Is it the ball room though? Has Angela Rippon marked herself as safe?

Huge fan of your work.

It doesn't look unmanageable

It doesn't look unmanageable

You try squirting a fire hose that high

Poor Scott Benton. He’s had such a hard year already.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

You try squirting a fire hose that high

Maybe in my youth.

@Suomi

Thanks for the tag, and thanks for the question @InDie Hard It’s an absolute pleasure to be invited back to Moopy after my last successful presentation.

So, the first thing to say is that you mustn’t think of rain (or any weather type) as a barrier to starting a fire. In this Ted Talk I will explain how… [trails off]

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Likely: the wood or whatever flammable material it is, will burn it's self out

Hopeful: the whole thing goes up in a ball of flame representing the failure of levelling up and keeping us all entertained on this most boring of boring days.

Peter Kay DEAD (...upset)

 

[Sheena]

OT: I went to Blackpool for a laugh a couple of years ago and ended up attending a “night of the stars” tribute night I think on the pier, where “George Michael” went off and came back on ACTUALLY BLACKED UP as Prince to monumental cheers from the mostly pensioner audience.

They said Blackpool couldn't become more of a dive. They were wrong.

AMAZING

 

[Madison]

Ag to apologise for all the distress we’ve suffered over the last 90 minutes.

No.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It got us all very and then mildly and then not at all excited for a while.

Blackpool NEVER FAILS to DISAPPOINT

 

[Iguana]

The moral is never choose orange netting, folks.

 

[lolly]

Well if I wanted a feelgood story to end the year, this may be it.

Let's hope some fucker doesn't torch it for real tonight.

 

[ButterTart]

This is just that Peter Kay thread but in building form.

 

[Lucille]

 

[big ron]

This is the most blackpool thing ive ever seen

 

[Indie]

Best news story of the year bar none.

I love how even the super-cautious BBC reported it as unreservedly true at the outset.

 

[Kratz]

Something like the tower catching fire feels like a story for this listless time of year too - the randomness of it all.

 

[PercyPig]

No fire but someone still managed to get arrested
