Fireworks

Booth Hall Hospital was kept inordinatley busy year on year and maybe with hindsight we should only be encouraging organized events these days.

As an out of towner my only recollection of Booth Hall children's hospital was as a youngster, the collection for admittance to the Beehive on matchday. No idea if the money made it there, or merely covered their dominoes losses in the lounge!
 
I fucking hate the things,its genuinely awful round our way tonight,no consideration for anyone.

If you want to watch/listen this juvenile shite,then ffs....dont be so selfish and ignorant and attend an organised event away from people/pets who are distressed by the bastard things.
 
I'm no killjoy but they should have been banned years ago.
 
very fortunate that I paid £10 for a Samoyed cross (imagine a black Samoyed- crossed with a dirty collie - dam was crufts entrant (didn’t get placed ;))) in the 80s who lived till 19 blind, deaf & incontinent but taught the next dog not to worry about fireworks -so they didn’t get bothered and that’s passed down the subsequent dogs - sadly the two black cats hate hallowe’en and bonfire night (scaredy-cats)!
 
Love the smell in the air. Got a good vantage point on the Met going over Castlefiekd on the Met home from the game before, looked great.

Just come back from an organised jobby with the grandkids. We had to crawl up a mountain side to the local 9 hole golf course were locals ply for par 10, whilst dodging clumps of sheep shit.

Surely no one goes around twice and plays all 18 holes in conditions like this, but then again they are Hill People and the fire that they lit has more connatations than guy forks could ever be remembered for.

Walking down the road after the game, in Newton Heath, some k***head on the back of a bicycle shouts "BANG" and hits me across the back of the head as they pass. Turned and did something silly. They rode off.

Get home, walk dog, see firework shells raining down on the garden. Someone has nicked the wheelie bins... the gate and the back door has a foot sized hole through it.

Sort that, walk dog down Clayton Vale, quite there and as I'm coming back see kids firing fireworks at cars and buses.

Asked a family as I was passing to please pause their firework lighting until I got the dog passed them. It was as if I had torn their throat open and defecated into their open heart. So, they curse, light it and point one my way...

The celebration of failure by Guido Fawkes really brings out the best of people.

I’m pretty glad I left there in 1969 as I had fond memories of the place and sounds horrific now.Playing cricket in Brookdale park,Clayton bridge station to watch the steam trains. oh yes and some **** biting my face when I was in my pushchair outside the grocers in culcheth lane and still have the scar on my face 56 years later and finally the barbershop in Scotland Hall road where the **** stuck his scissors in my neck,perhaps it wasn’t all good memories after all :-)

Having said all that a £2.50 entrance fee with organised fireworks is the way to go with restricted sales to joe public.
