Fireworks/Bonfire night.

[BlueMoonRisin’]

They seem to be getting louder. Sounds like a warzone where I live right now, loud bangs galore. I'm all for fireworks and displays but I think it's not fair on the elderly, young kids trying to sleep and pet owners who's animals are shit scared of all the bangs. Bangers and airbomb repeaters have got fuck all on these.

I used to think people were sad if they were doing it without kids but when you light your own, it changes things massively

One bang was that loud it set alarm off earlier. It sounds like fuckin' Beirut.

Haha yeah, I’m in north Manchester where things aren’t, let’s just say affluent as the south.

They fucking love fireworks up here.

Do you still stick 3-2-1-zero's in dog turds?

 

[MCFCTrick]

Yup ... more like artillery fire nowadays. Must scare the wildlife silly too.

Should be illegal to use them outside of these dates.

There seems to a strange correlation between the poorer the area and the more fireworks that get set off?

 

[Blue Til Death]

Fuck, what happened to the days when we used to collect wood from about now, build our own bonty’s then spend the last few weeks lobbing bangers at each other and trying to destroy the surrounding area with air bombs .. I fuckin hate progress, why can’t my kids experience that stuff these days ...






Thank fuck, thank god for progress :-)

Because the fireworks these days are more akin to hand grenades and rocket launchers ;-)

Oh right, so the bonty’s we used to build were ok then :-) fuck how we got away with them, even in the 70’s was ridiculous, there are bigger and more explosive fireworks now but they are in the main for displays n shit ... I can remember almost blowing my face off making a ten banger Genie :-))) remember those fuckers ...!
