November 5th. Fucking Guy Fawkes night !!
 

Hate this time of year.




If he had actually been successful, i'd maybe see the point. As it is its just a stupid "celebration" which ultimately leads to hundreds of cats and dog being scared shitless, injured or killed every year on this night. My dog died years ago on Guy Fawkes night.

Time to make it public firework dispalys only. But then, the government wouldn't get all their tax money from it would they :upsidedow

People who need to celebrate like that, are mentally left in the dark-ages. Just like those that believes in their gods and think religion will set them free/answer all their questions.

I would recommend they read this book if they want to understand the bullshit they are still think is the universal truth: https://www.amazon.com/Sapiens-Human.../dp/0062316095

as you say, it´s the celebration of Guy Fawkes and his plan being foiled...

logically, this would be like killing loads of people, if a killer has been caught or basically doing what the deviant was going to do, and making a big deal out of it & doing it! :upsidedow

pretty retarded, alas, a fun night for families if it´s kept safe & now, many of these home packs of fireworks are more quieter fireworks, colours and sparklers, less rockets & more fountains etc...

either way with safety first, checking the bonfires before lighting them and keeping the distance even with silent or quieter fireworks, i´m still agreeing with you, it´s a stupid way to celebrate a person who was going to blow something up, to blow things up :2 cents:

I get a semi professional display weather I like it or not tonight. Guy who lives a few doors away, in a huge private house that was converted from a hotel, runs a clothing company.

Every year he sets off about £10,000 worth of fireworks as a 'party' for his clients and buyers etc... Then he triples that value on a receipt from the firework suppliers and writes it off as a business expense against his tax as client entertainment :)

Alright for some !

indeed, the whole west end fucks fireworks.
And it is only 6pm.

Yep me too. Hate this time of the year mainly because my dog is terrified.

This Guy Fawkes things up for you.

:1orglaugh

My momma laughed! :1orglaugh

When one looks further back, it wasn’t about Guy Fawkes, it was an end of year thing, lighting bonefires to make the Sun come back ASAP

I'm visiting the UK for the first time and staying around Brands Hatch. I was catching a nap after dinner to try and deal with the jet lag and was woken up to what I thought was an invasion. Massive fireworks display. I had no clue what it was about until one of the hotel staff explained it to me.

My brother has a puppy and he says it has still not settled down today. He says they had an awful night last night because of it all...

My Grandad died on Guy Fawkes night.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh . . .

Why can you not just turn the TV or music up?

Voila! In view a humble veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain as Vendzilla.

Eddy The Real Dog will be behind the sofa pissing and shitting herself, I hated seeing her like that - It's the same here in NZ - They are talking of having only organised displays - I hope so...

Just doesn't work. The only thing that works a little are the thunder coats but they need to be on prior to any noise kicking-in. I am sure their will be loads more going off this weekend. Fucking hate them.

You're lucky you don't live in Spain, there's fireworks pretty much every fucking week.

Do they light fireworks off for hours and hours?
