Hello, I have to agree with the pyromania bit, we used to have some great fires in Jamaica when I was little. Burning the Pope? love nidge

Hi Nidge
Haven't said so yet, but welcome to TMA. The pope burning reference is about the Lewes fire festival they have on bonfire night every year. They burn effigies of 'His Holiness' and swing great fire poi and have a bloody good anti-catholic knees-up. a practice which I heartily approve of.

Do they have standing stones in Jamaica?
