It’s that time of year again.
That time when it sounds like there’s a warzone right on your doorstep. That time when the local idiots think it’s funny to throw explosives at people. That time when little girls and boys get major burns and scars for life all because Mommy and Daddy thought it would be a good idea to have a ‘private’ fireworks show. That time when your pets shake and quiver with fright.
I fucking hate bonfire night. Yeah, I’m one of those miserable sods…
Don’t you hold back now Jackie. Come on – tell us how you really feel :P
Mind you, I agree with every word you say. They banned firework sales to the public a few years back in Australia, so since coming to Europe I have been amazed at how easy it is to turn the place into a warzone – legally!
You should try the Netherlands on Years Eve though – now that really is scary! A normally very logical and organised nation of people, on that one night of the year they go absolutely bloody crazy. It’s frightening to experience!
I wish they’d ban sales to the public here too. Licensed organised displays are the way to go in my opinion. We may not escape the odd accident but at least it will be a hell of a lot safer that way.
And it’s not even confined to one night, we get it for weeks. I even hear people letting off fireworks during the day, I mean what the hell point is there in that?!?!
People…I’ll never understand them. :D
I hate it too….poor Tommy wasn’t happy :(
Fireworks with all the bangs and whistles are cool im afraid
A little bit of danger never hurt anybody!
Sort of…
Ah, but mix fireworks and stupidity (which I’m afraid in my opinion applies to 80% or more of the population)then you get a highly dangerous combination.
So it’s more than a little bit of danger…
