Rockets Passing Overhead

It's actually been happening for 3 weeks now, but last night and tonight have been unbearable.
The inbreads have got hold of fireworks way before the day, never mind the month.

Been like that for a good few years round my way. Some little sh!thead flung one out a car window at me once ages ago, scared the living crap outa me, so I say BAN 'EM with a vengeance.
Plus they terrify the poor cats.

One went off in broad daylight when we were on the way back from Liverpool. Suffice to say if I were the one driving, the car wouldn't have stayed on the road. Setting them off before dark should carry the same penalties as threatening someone with an imitation firearm. I don't care how level headed you are, the first thing you think when a big flash and bang go off at 3 in the afternoon certainly isn't "fireworks"

I'd ban them for sale to the general public, I think that fireworks displays should be limited to "official" police/authority approved displays.

As a dog owner and animal lover I am totally opposed - I have nothing against organised events on the
actual day but come on, 2 weeks either side. Bag of bollix.

They're already tightly regulated in France and that's a good thing. I can understand a little bang here and there but enough is enough. And these things scare the hell out of my cat, which drives me mad.
Actually, they could be banned altogether, I wouldn't mind.

I wouldn't go that far, a properly run fire works display is a great night for kids and families alike, also, another reason for splintered communities, like up hear in the Highlands, to get together.

We heard you the first time Keith.
But yes, I agree. Just not every fcukin' night.
My poor little dogs don't like it, hence I don't like it.

Agreed. Actually I wasn't talking about pro and safe fireworks. Of course that lil' kid in me likes them too.

Aye.
Think of all the poor hedgehogs that must get toasted in bonfires every year.
There's a shop by us opens up 1st October every year, selling fück-off
huge fireworks (anybody remember the firework in
Malcolm in the Middle that turned night into day will know what I'm talking about.) I'm 90% sure they sell them to kids too.
Oh and there's a sign on the door: "Open until 2pm New Year's Day"
I guess they make enough money in three months a year that they don't have to open for the other 9.

I don't mind fireworks, but I think we only get to see some at New Year and Chinese New Year around here. My dog - oddly - doesn't seem to mind at all, she just watches it all

I've always enjoyed a good bang,but several times a night every night is just a bit more than I can take.
At least when they're throwing fireworks about,they're not breeding.

organised displays only, mind you a rocket up the arse of some of the knuckle dragging scrotes who let them off round here is a tempting thought
