SlipperyP Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 26 minutes ago, Lurkst said: Here's your answer... Have the bonfires always been so big? No. Eleventh Night fires were traditionally much smaller. There were also many more than there are today, with more numerous modest fires constructed on street corners across loyalist communities. Over the years there has been a move towards consolidating the smaller fires into one central bonfire at the heart of each neighbourhood. This has partly been driven by a dwindling number of derelict sites for fires, but also by competitive rivalry among loyalist areas as to which can build the biggest bonfire. https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/why-are-huge-bonfires-lit-across-northern-ireland-on-eleventh-night-1155604.html As i saw it, before it was a wee fire at end off each street...now they BANNED them, OUR COMMUNITY will make FIRE for all to SEE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do Nepal have a team they (rating 185) are currently slightly ahead of both Scotland(183) and Ireland(184) in the T20 rankings. Although they are a long way behind in the ODIs so we should be fine The qualifiers are basically all the nations with ODI status apart from Test playing nations Nepal got T20 international status in 2014 and Full One Day International Status in 2018 Thailand only got T20i status in 2019 Edited July 12, 2022 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
