Fireworks/Bonfire night.

Nor can your neighbours. Which is a shame as they quite like their Sunday "Where does he fucking think he is...the Albert fucking Hall, ****" Concert.

Oddly enough it's the chavs next door doing their best impression of desert storm.
I've got a rehearsal booked for 1am in my kitchen where I will proceed to belt seven shades of shite out of the skins.
What a shame.
 
Any dog owners got any tips on how to reduce the stress of fireworks? My German Shepherd gets very anxious - more because he can't see the source of the noise, rather than the noise itself. Don't really want to drug him as it's not as if he's cowering.

Ive had German Sheperds for 30 years they are notoriously anxious dogs. There are a few things you can buy to help but it doesn't actually solve the underlying problem. I have always desensitized mine by playing videos of fireworks and incrementally increasing the sound and giving treats at the same time so they associate the fireworks with good things. I doesn't take very long at all.

Our most nervous dog required phenobarbitones when the worst of it was happening.

Wankers.

Mate,ours is a wreck and its unacceptable.If it was one night i'd have no qualms and id make arrangements to ensure the dog was as distanced and as comfortable as possible.The fact it goes on for 6 weeks makes it impossible and that's totally selfish and out of order.

Been like that ever since I can remember nothing new
 
A fucking knobhead was setting them off round mine at gone 2300 on his son's 15th birthday party - in July. They go off for far too long, before and after they should.

He had the cheek to to post letters through our door to let us know of the impending racket (his son's 15th birthday party), and that of the other neighbours, notifying us 'of events that night might be loud' or some shit.

The inconsiderate prick and his trophy fucking wife got told to shut the fucking noise down - not by me, but my wife just before midnight.

And before anyone judges, this isn't Merthyr fucking Tydfil - it's an area where 500 grand gets you a 3 bedroom house and not much more. You can have money but still be a ****!

I'm no snob, far from it, but money still begets yer average wanker - in my opinion. I fucking hate fireworks, bar one or two nights, and my dogs and young children also concur.

I am in Devon at the moment with work, I asked the wife if all was quite on our street in West Sussex. It was, bar a few fireworks in the distance. They knew better than to piss my wife off, again!

I fucking hate the things.

Just because it's 'the norm' doesn't make it right. It has been going on forever, I can remember having bangers thrown at us as we trained on Clarendon Rec astro...

The fact it's been allowed to carry on is further proof that humans are scum, money means more than anything to anyone, and we generally don't give a shit about animals, wildlife or emergency services.
