I hope something doesn't happen like this on friday... it's probably gna be the last one as well. It's a shame it's getting axed because its an exciting tradition, but you can see in the face of it why they can't continue tar barrels. If not next year then it will be soon. Its a shame, but hey, life goes on.
A wise man once said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I think we can all learn from this as we enjoy possibly our last tar barrels.
Please can people learn some new swear words? I'm sick and tired of hearing (and reading) the same old ones. I live locally and this was an awful thing which happened. I don't feel it is an excuse for people to just be swearing at each other.
I live in Ottery. I didn't go to the Tar Barrels. Watching this just wants me to move out. Some idiot threw a Body Spray or something into the Barrel. Who would do something like that??
it aint a def threat im jst say evary wnted 2 kil the person who throw the can nd wen u rite stuf lik dat thy wil wnt 2 kil u. nd i can spel but its jst the way i tlk u fuckin dickhead. i am fairly lowcal u pric so fuck u.
rally4trev . proof read your comments before posting them, that way the people you threaten to kill can read it . "police please......ive just had a death threat.......well i think it was a death threat, although it didnt make any sense?" funny what you take for granted isnt it . being able to read and write and still having the face you were born with . ummmmmm
oh my god ! how has this gone from being one the funniest clips to isayilove wanting a genuinely funny guy locked up for life ....? lets get it into prospective shall we . i burnt my dinner last night and although i was pretty gutted, within half an hour i could see the funny side of it . ok its not a good comparison as i found this story/video instantly funny, but you get the idea .
I think its called Greivious Bodily Harm, what that fucktard did when he launched that can into the tar barrel... Can carry a sentence of from 6 months to life... lock him up and throw away the key.
For us locals this is a valued tradition. Adults here find any joke condoling personal injury to innocent bystanders as stupid and irresponsible. Bring on policing of youtube responses..
Who's sadder here? People having a laugh at it, or the people getting so worked up about a comment posted on the internet about an event where someone got burnt and people run up and down in a crowd, carrying a flaming barrel of tar. Some people will find it funny, some wont, but why is it the people that dont find it funny are always the ones that need to share that view and condemn those that do find it funny the loudest, like everyone else gives a fuck what they think!
how hurtful . sorry if i dont feel sorry for the victim with the melted face, although it was funny it would have been even funnier if someone had lost a limb or even dare i say it died . if you think im perverted ask yourself this.... have you never laughed at simon weston or jordans blind spastic son ? be honest, your as sick as me .
your a asshole it funny its fuckin stupid. tarbarrels are the best and this stupid stunt could loos em. besides they have arrested the guy who did it nd over half of devon wants 2 kill him nd it will be u nxts if u dont they want 2 kil if u keep saying twatish tings like dat u fuckin prick.
I'm a proponent of the 'point and giggle' school of dealing with human misery, and I confess I laughed hearty here. Not so much tradition as an intriguing bid attempt for a Darwin Award.
They should chargrill an inbreeder every year, they could sell tickets. That Lynx Africa is potent stuff!! I may go on the of chance of another 'fire in the hole' next year!!
He'll of a year for Ottery! Several feet of hail, the disco hall burns down and an attack of domestic terrorism during the running of the mongs!!!
sniff. . .sniff. . whats that smell....? is it bacon..? is it burnt sausages .....? or chargrilled burgers..... ? oh silly me its that person at the fronts face melting . mind you that can of fabreeze soon masked the smell . typo fabreeze doesnt mask smells it eliminates them .... good job too .
ha ha . thats easily the most exciting thing ever about going to the boring tradition of the tar barrels . hopefully they wont ban it and instead they'll load a barrel with dynamite next year .
i cannot even start to imagine what went through that stupid cunts mind when he did that. that said, i also cant understand the logic of running around with a barrel of burning tar on your shoulder. pointless and idiotic- specially when you throw in a load of the usual xfactor watching twats into the equasion. this stuff should be kept away from the normal folk because there is always one knob head amongst the crowd. my respects go out to the poor people who were injured.
this is called tradition, it happens every year, and every year they only just get the go ahead with insurance etc. There are signs up everywhere saying that you are in the town on your own free will and that this is dangerous.
well its a tradition that has been goin for many many years, as for idiotic is that what you think of old traditions that are gradually fading out because of people thinking they are pointless?
Many countries have got traditions, and i think we are one country that havent got many anymore, due to twats that cause trouble or go out to get rid of them. I live here and we like to think we have something very special and worth doing and saving. " KEEP TAR BARRELS A THING OF THE FUTURE NOT A THING OF THE PAST!"
Today there seems to be no consequences or deterents for ppls actions, the incident in ottery and the one in Topsham needs to be addressed by both the parents and society as a whole. I know the lad in the Topsham incident and he is a genuine nice guy, but my son got assaulted walking home (400 yards) from his girlfreinds house so i guess nobody is safe anymore... Maybe the punishment should be conscription to one of the armed forces.... lets see hove big and brave they are when facing real dange
I think that if all 10,000 people resolve to 'deal with' anyone who does it next year then that might be a deterant. You wouldn't have to beat the crap out of them, a citizens arrest and a couple of witnesses would do just fine.
To answer the politics we need to ask ourselves, would this sort of thing happened 15 to 25 years ago? I'm not sure of the answer, what do people think?
Apologies, what I meant was do things like that with the aerosol. My opinion is that 15/25 years ago that would only have happened in the roughest of rough places, somewhere like East London. Like the kids who used to wedge nails in the joints of the water flume at a pool. Or put fireworks through letterboxes.
i.e something that on balance probably WILL cause extensive damage or serious personal harm.
Its these mindless little shitheads that are fuelling this cctv, health & safety nanny state, only they'll probably be too stupid to even notice their liberties disappear while the rest of us who know how to have a laugh without harming others have to suffer the same treatment
although local to the area it was the first time i had been, was an awesome spectacle to behold and a shame that some sh*tc*nt had to put a downer on it.
hope the event carries on far into the future and i personally will campaign for it.
it's not a major issue until you multiply his / her / its kind by a factor of thousands, and that IS happening thanks to nu labour's Moron Factories aka schools
then we have a huge problem ....but of course, brainless, gormless morons are necessary to keep those who created them in power in perpetuity
How very interesting, I wondered how long it would be before someone would do that. It'll be a sad day when the barrels have to have mesh nailed over the end of them.
I blame Al queda myself.
Is that the end of the disco as well? What was that all about?
I can see myself in this video! Quite glad I wasn't on the other side of the road otherwise I would have been burnt to hell. Hope they catch the guy who did this, probably some chav.
My friend who lives there was telling me about this someone through a aerosol can in the barrel
and the same night a disused fire station went up in flames to i guess its some outsiders that came and did this why these mindless barstads have to ruin a the night who knows and acts like this will surely stop the yearly tradition
I hope the fuckhead who did this realises that there are people who will require plastic surgery and who will have scars for life because of his actions.
shit, i didnt realise it was ian chown, i know him quite well......i didnt see this happen, what a fucking retard, i heard the guy who did this got 7 bells of shit kicked into him, prick
I was only a couple of feet away and it was scary. It completely changed the atmosphere. I hope they get the idiot that was responsible. Its people like that that get great traditions like this stopped. Lets hope he/she has not ruined it for everyone else.
I really do hope they catch the guy / girl who threw it, not so much hoping that they get beaten up or whatever, but i hope they at least get arrested.
this was my first tar barrel experience and even though I am infact a proud cornish gal, (this does not go in my favour when I'm with my Devonian friends!) I was suitably impressed! Awesome night. But I totally agree, why would you do such an idiotic thing when the event is really dangerous enough anyway! Luckily for me and my friends we were stood on the opposite side. Not so lucky for others. I'll be there next year though. :)
