When I was a child it was called Bonfire *night* and that was what it was - a one off *event* held on whatever night of the week the 5th fell on, looked forward to and savoured, no matter what the weather.

Now it seems to be bonfire fortnight [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] *convenience* events held on weekends before and after the 5th, and any other night people fancy a good pissup with fireworks added [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I think it's anti-social behaviour and should be stamped out. Yet more dumbing down of what's left of *culture* in this country [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

And as someone these said it is massively cruel to domestic and wild animals alike.

So to all the fireworks morons out there - FOR ***** SAKE SHUT UP!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

woke up at 0830 this morning - Sunday - by a huge banger going off.


I love fireworks like anyone else - I made a pipe bomb as a teenager.

Trouble is there are too many scum with too much cash to spend in this country, no doubt from benefit fraud.

It has been firework night for a month in London now - the novelty wears thin.

Apparently kids in Peckham are throwing fireworks at the public for "fun". Yeah right.


SOLUTION:

They should be illegal to use outside of specific dates eg Nov 5th or the nearest Saturday, or for specially licenced events.

This week I have been staying with my daughter and son in law in Leicester. I am sick to the bloody back teeth of being scared out of my wits every time a banger goes off. I was with them upto today and all we had from last Saturday was bang bang sparkle crack chack bang fizz. I have returned home tonight to the local "yuppies" who insist on having a ball. The noise is like being in Vietnam on a spring morning 1966 just as the NV's are being attacked by the USAF. FIREWORKS SHOULD BE BANNED AND BANNED NOW[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]...Blutes

Imagine the impact it has on all the animals.

Kevin Greeley

You have to put the bangers right under the animals to get a really good impact!

(this is meant to be a joke by the way)

LG John

It'll all be over soon

ADP

my dogs have all gone mental, they hate it

Marky-San

We've still some hardcore tw@ts out tonight - hope they freeze their bollocks off.

Marky-San

Here here!!

It's like the army is practising shelling Iraq outside my window tonight

Chip

Come on guys, get a life.
Fireworks are just great especially the loud ones.
Woman over the back from me was shouting over the fence on Nov 5 at me cos my F/works were upsetting her dogs.
Didnt matter to her that her bloody dogs bark for the other 364 days of the year.

Chip.

ChrisB

Don't get me wrong, Monday the 4th about 10 of us were round a mates house making a racket, but why does it need to continue for a week (or longer)?

fast bloke

We luv Chip - go man go - fireworks are great. Last year I used legal Cat 2 ones, but they got banned over here in May, so this year I managed to source some 'proper' Cat 4 ones. Dirt cheap and absolutely fecking massive. Shells are best, but the Catherine wheel did manage to take out about 15 feet of fence in 30 seconds DOH!!

TheScooby

Stop moaning guys, fireworks are just a way of fulfilling the pyro in all of us. a bit of fun you have to admit, explosions and bright lights how can you go wrong!! "Light"en up

TheScooby

neilbbb

every night for 8 days now. f*ckers

P1Fanatic

God u are old grumpy farts. Its for a week or so every year. Some people have other things to do so have their parties at later dates.

Just think like this - would you have minded as a kid if fireworks went off all week? I think not.

ChrisB

Last nights weren't even 'proper' fireworks, just an endless stream of air bombs and thunder flashes - noise, noise and more noise. No pretty multi coloured shells or stuff, just bang fooking bang....

swan

Some of our local municipalities have "banned" fireworks - doesn't stop them being sold or used though. A friend of mine has to get tranquilisers for her dogs - otherwise they go wild with fear. In the past one of her dogs tried jumping through a closed window...

Scooby Snax

Hope the anti fireworks ppl dont come to the network q! Ive got a boot full of air bombs, mega air bombs and rockets woo hoo

SeepyScoob

Went to a official display last night and it was pants.

It occured to me that if all the fireworks set off over "fireworks month" were saved up, put in a big pile for just one night and then let off all at once, it would a lot more spectacular.

Most admit I'm with the grumpy ones that want it kept to one night. Especially when I'm trying to get my insomniac 2 year old to sleep at 10 o'clock at night.... just getting there.... nearly asleep..... and ..... BANG.... BANG BANG BANG..... F**** BANG!!!!
back to square one. Tossers.

LG John

I take it back!!! Now I'm [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] after I was woken by a massive one exploding outside the window at 4:00am!!!1

Mark Jackson

**** 2 down from me decided to set off about a hundred quids worth tonight at 9.15, my 3 kids (6,5 and 3)had just got to sleep and these massive fireworks go off, so they all wake up and are all groggy, then excited.

Ill get the Omega driving Alan Partridge alike back for that, the dogs a neurotic mess as well !

I did mine on bonfire night all before 8 o clock because the whole road is full of pre-school kids.
