Silentbob Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I like the way they differentiate Pulrose from Douglas. Like saying "London, Manchester and Moss Side" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think a lot of people will fall foul of the permitted days for fireworks this year as the way the day has fallen, this Saturday fireworks are banned. I know of two hastily re-arranged fireworks parties already now people have started to realise this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ironic - the gun powder plot was all about people in Britain being persecuted. Whilst I am happy for the obvious irresponsible thoughtless chavs etc. misusing fireworks to be dealt with, there are still a lot of responsible people e.g. divorced dads etc. out there, who only get to see their kids at weekends, and only then get the chance to set their fireworks off. I'm confused - remind me again, do we celebrate bonfire night for the capture of a traitor, or the blowing up of the government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I thinks it's terrible that we're no longer allowed to light 'bangers' and push them through someone's letterbox. Where's everyone's sense of humour gone? [Actually, for those old enough to remember, a 'flip-flop' was much better!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 This year was a vast improvement on previous years. You would get fireworks going off for days before the 5. November. This year I think I heard just one on Tuesday night. Lots last night which was fine, but my dog still cowered in his basket all night. Hopefully there wont be many if any tonight. Still think fireworks should only be on sale to the general public on the 5. November. If you want to use them at other times, such as for a celebration (wedding, etc.) then a license has to be obtained before you can buy them.

P.K. Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm confused - remind me again, do we celebrate bonfire night for the capture of a traitor, or the blowing up of the government Guido Fawkes - the only man to enter the Houses of Parliament with honest intent...

Firefly Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Our dog has had to endure 3 nights of terror already. It is quite right that they can't be set off after Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Our cats were in hiding with their paws in their ears last night, and needed lots of attention this morning. Fireworks should be available for regulated public dispays only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
