What would happen if you turned on the gas and let it run for a while before lighting a match to light a Bunsen burner?

Depending on what gas it is, it could be heavier than air, which would mean it could "pool" around in the room and if ignited could explode or cause a huge fireball thereby killing or injuring others. Dont do it.

Can you measure the temperature of a flame of a Bunsen burner using a thermometer?
Yes, and No. You will get an inaccurate number since of air temperature and a few variables, but it will be relatively close. I do not recommend this, because a few things may happen, and even some I do not even know of. The thermometer will get hot and melt. Or explode. And many other things can happen.

What is a tirrill?
In the context of chemistry, this is likely to refer to a type of burner. The difference between a Bunsen burner and a Tirrill burner has to do with how the air flow is regulated ... a Bunsen burner usually has slits at the base of the barrel to admit air, while in a Tirrill burner the airflow is controlled by means of a needle valve. Burners in a real chemistry lab are actually more likely to be of the Tirrill type than the Bunsen type, since the needle valve allows better regulation of the air-gas mixture and therefore a steadier more reliable flame. There are some other modifications as well (the most common one being the Meker, which is the one with the "big head" that has a grid inside it, which spreads the heat more evenly). I've also seen a kind with horizontal slits where incoming air is regulated by screwing the entire barrel up and down (this is less common, as the barrel may become uncomfortably warm to touch, though it usually takes some time for this to happen and the adjustment of the air/gas mix usually happens immediately after the burner is ignited). I don't know if that type has an official name, or if so what it is.
