Can't stand them and have never really seen the point. Even though i'm not an "animal person", I know a few people with pets and they usually have a terrible time this time of the year.
I hate them with a passion. Usually go on for a week or two before the event, be it bonfire night or NYE etc. Used to drive me insane when my girls were little, waking them up all the time. Now living in Sydney and they're only allowed at council organised events. Brilliant.
I think with Diwali starting in a few days, I'll be able to hear plenty of fireworks. Expecting to read stories of pets running away because of the sound of an explosion.
So you're going to bump it to moan every time you hear one? What's the point of that? And declare it MUST be chavs, it could be perfectly decent people having fun.
Someone over the road had fireworks tonight - the 27 October! It made the dog bark and probably frightened my horse too. Just think, we've got another 8 days of this - at least. :mad:

I don't mind organised displays or even garden displays, but what I'm not keen on, is teenagers buying those £16 boxes of rockets and just letting them off in a public area for a cheap thrill.
I've had 2 lots of them this evening, and there was no way they were organised displays.
My crazy neighbours were banging fireworks again earlier today :mad: Seriously, what kind of nutjob bangs fireworks on a Sunday afternoon in the rain? :rolleyes:
I wasn't that bothered with setting fireworks off as a kid. We used to prefer taking them apart to get the powder. We also used to do the rounds of the chemist shops buying saltpetre and sulphur to me our own powder. I have hate to think what would happen these days if kids got caught doing what we did, they would probably be branded terrorists.
I am deliberately going abroad for 10 days to avoid the firework season altogether.
Why on earth do we allow anyone to just go into a supermarket and buy explosive materials that can injure or maim people? Fireworks should be restricted to organised display.
Let alone the very anti Catholic nature of the whole Bonfire night celebration - imagine if we had people out collecting so that they could burn the image of someone called Mohammed. There would be uproar - and rightly so!

I shoved a banger up her arse and told her to stop picking on mice.
No more mice & love of watching fireworks from inside our house.
The only downside of this is every time she farts it's like a rally car setting off in deep mud.
When are you going to understand that it happens every year?
Read the title of the thread.

That is definitely out of order.
You can't even see them in the day time.
It is sad that people get pleasure playing with fireworks.
Some more.

It is the pets that suffer the most. My dads dog is absolutely terrified.
