We should probably start putting them on rings :D Ah, the DIY roadblock of choice. It's something of a thing here in Kentucky to burn couches in celebration but that's more a sportsball tradition, hate to think what'd catch fire here if electricity and water were off for weeks. Do the burning tyres get anything other than a police response?

On an unrelated note, I've seen a few stories recently about shootings at shabeens(?) in your neck of the woods, but it was the BBC and didn't really say much other than the barest of details, was wondering what's the context/rest of the story?
