    Been going off intermittently here since about 7pm.

    The country is full of nobheads.

    I fkin hate new year, faux joviality just because the year changes by a digit. Never quite got it.

    I'm not a big fan of new year either but I don't think someone letting fireworks off to celebrate on new year's eve are nobheads.

    Maybe they’re from a country that is in a different time zone and they’re celebrating that it’s New Year’s Day there? 11pm I understand, it’s 11:40pm that I don’t get.

    Seems to me to be everyone trying to be first, except they've all failed.

    They are if you have pets believe me first class nobheads. Some moron let a display firework off at about 7 when I had my dogs out in the back garden it nearly gave my Mastiff a heart attack, its no joke when a110kg dog charges into a glass sliding door in fright luckily for us the Mrs saw him coming and opened it just in time or god knows what would have happened.

    Weird night here. One, solitary firework at 6.25pm, which the dog managed to sleep through, then a short burst at 11 minutes past midnight, which he didn't It's normally like a warzone round here, so not sure why no-one really bothered this time.

    Every year people bolloking on about how their dogs are scared etc. The dog is for your sole gratification, meanwhile none dog owners get to step in dog tods, have to watch their children closely in parks in case Darren's un restrained XL bully bites their toddlers face off and listen to endless bleating about fireworks every bonfire night/new year. Insane to think anyone not brain poisoned by dog ownership would care even a little bit.

    Apparently London's display cost about £2,000,000. Money well spent?

    People going in their back gardens letting fireworks off at midnight wasn't a thing back In the day i think it started millennium year which I got big thing a new century. But do we really have to do it every year have your party's and have a great time just don't do the firework thing if you love them there's bonfire night which last at least a week these days end of rant ,oh and happy new year everyone.

    yes he's a Mastiff or English Mastiff as some call them it's the fifth one we've had and apart from a rescue who was only 95kgs as a result of being stabbed as a puppy by his previous owner they've all been around 110kgs
