Every year two families down the street throw a St. Patrick's day party for everybody on the block. There's Guinness and Murphy's on tap, plenty of food, and various forms of entertainment, including the traditional ``barrow burn''.

This St. Patrick's Day party will always be ingrained in my mind as the only time I've ever exceeded my alcohol intake limit. At these events, I now keep in mind that I cannot keep up with the brothers of a certain large Catholic family, as much as I'd like to.

Description :	This photo gives you a better idea of the size of the burn. There's usually a few old Christmas trees thrown into the burning barrow, and the flames are easily 12ft high.
