Fireworks/Bonfire night.

A decent drama on U:

Watch Gunpowder Series & Episodes on U

Historical drama, starring Kit Harington.

Kit Harington is a direct descendent of Robert Catesby, who he plays in this. So it’s very much from a view of Catholic sympathies, portraying Protestants as evil and Catholics as the good guys.

Also a fair few of the dramatised parts of the story veer from fact.

January 1st, Chinese New Year, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Diwali, November 5th.

Diwali especially, familes have private displays. They don't need banning, just have more regulated sales from banning cowboy sellers and give more accessibility for people to get the tamer compilation boxes from mainstream sources.

You know, like they used to?

Nope they need banning don’t give a fuck what festival, party etc, sales are regulated but there’s far too many cowboys getting hold of them and dickheads can still buy them at a shop. Some are used as fucking weapons against emergency workers, I had to deal with that shit for years, thise no need for the powerful ones and there no need for any noise either, if you have pets you’d want them banned to.
Years ago it was one night, now it’s a full week in November plus every other festival, wedding, come to Oldham they are going off all the time it’s fuckimg shite.

Why not ban owning dogs? I mean some actually kill people.

I jest, I also own pets and they don't seem bothered, but there are also reasons you're hearing them every night; Some people work bonfire night or the weekend, missign the displays and so have their own private displays close to the day or whenever they can.

Other establishments host on the closest weekend. Plus Diwali is quite close to Bonfire Night and the celebrations last five days. So essentially from mid-October to 5th November there's a minimum ten days of celebrations that involve fireworks.

The big bang boomers, I grant you, should only be for public performances and not for public sale.....except most councils now don't even host a fireworks display for locals, and leave it for individuals to take matters into their own hands. Fact is they aren't going to be banned any time soon, certainly not this year.

You’ll not convince me, zero need for them to make a noise, I bet if you asked most wouldn’t even know what bonfire night was about, unfortunately if you can them for bonfire the rest of the festivals etc would just have to accept it as well.

Ah that time of year , when the old men get angry about fireworks. Is there any month there isn’t something for the angry old men to celebrate?
Coming into bluemoon sometimes makes me think I’m the only over 60 male having a great life and actually getting any joy in life.
