Bunting

Id have to say if a gun was put in my mouth & I was forced to select a favourite piece of party or festive ornamentation it would have to be Bunting. Cant say enough about the stuff. Lets you know from a distance if a village fete is on or a rudimentary Jumble sale in a meadow twixt June to August. Its the colours & shapes that give the Bunting creator leeway to express themselves. Perhaps a regional hurling final is on or a Dog show or some Gypsies selling Fireplaces after Mass on a Sunday. Bunting attracts you in, Bunting keeps you there & Bunting locks away all the fears, anxieties & loneliness we associate with modern life if all for a few minutes or hours depending on the occasion.
Perhaps some of you here have a yarn or two that was associated to a Bunting influenced malarky or maybe you were at a party lately where Bunting was present? You probably have a favourite shape & colour for your Bunting, all views & general appreciations welcome so dont be shy.
Bunting can be used to welcome home loved ones or those that have just finished a rehab stint so the World can literally be your oyster.
Yup folks get typing as its the official Bunting appreciation thread, heres some Bunting pics to get those juices a flowin.......

Just look at the joy bunting can bring,

Even this member of her Majestys constabulary is enjoying himself, why? Take a butchers over his shoulder. You guessed it!!!

And of course, "Flying high up in the Sky, we'll keep the red flag flying high, we love Bunting till we die, we'll keep the red flag flying high",

Thats right Pauro, I also have a pair of elephant tusks for sale if anyone wants them. Got them off a Corkie who said Roger Moore used to own them. I can only assume by the size of your average Corkies mouth that they used them as toothpicks.

I'll have them, a tenner the pair. Never could stand elephants, moody feckers never give ya any affection.

Reminds me of the time some university friends arrived at the door with several hundred yards of bunting after a night out "socialising".
Pretty standard stuff, cables with your triangular flags, colours red white and blue, alternately like, obviously professionally made.
It had come from a city centre petrol station, one of the big lads, Standard Oil or Tescaco or one of them.
It adorned our Hazel Park living room for a time, and we were proud of it.

That Esso opposite the hospital isn't there anymore.
Turned out the bunting was holding the forecourt up.

Surely there will be a Bunting appreciation on Sunday at the Premiership Legends game? Anyone bringing any along? Could be a laugh. Anyone?

Bunting ahoy!!!!!!!!!!!
