This is what my dogs are doing.(hidebehindsofa) this is what I'd like to do to thoase setting them off (battered)
Should be banned from selling them except in the week leading up to bonfire night. I'd actually go even further and limit sales to organised displays only, who would have to apply for a licence.
it wouldn't be so bad if they weren't the bangs. Its the loud noises that do the damage. I agree that they should all be banned except for large organised displays where the organisers have to have a permit and if there were any discrepencies then they could be held accountable
I don't mind the bangs to be honest. In fact i love 'em. Mind you, it is bloody annoying when the fireworks are still going off like they are down here this evening ( Had trouble getting the little un to kip! It's bad enough when you get it over the whole weekend and then on the official day like this year. When i was a nipper the problem with fireworks was mainly the older lot throwing Bangers at us 'for fun'.
Its Diwali all this weekend, so yer local Hindus, Seikhs and Buddhists are traditionally lettin them off at the mo.
Ha ha ..... Blinkin ummer! I never realised either. I bet it's the Royal Ghurkha just round the corner from me then?
RE: Why would Sikhs and Buddhists be celebrating? nt They're taking over the world, they've a reason to celebrate. beats bombs though ....eh!.... Or is that muslims? are Sikhs and Buddhists muslims?.... (dunno) ....
RE: Why would Sikhs and Buddhists be celebrating? nt Rather sociable of them to be honest.... fireworks instead of bombs. Maybe the integrated society option is back on courtesy of diwali?
RE: Why would Sikhs and Buddhists be celebrating? nt Aye' it'll be back to normal soon ! fear and intimidation, and looking over our shoulders all the time ready for the next rocket.... (banghead) .... Bloody hate working for the buggers.... (seestars) ....
for your enlightenment........ http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/hinduism/holydays/diwali.shtml I was in Leicester a coupla years ago on this weekend, makes Blackpool illuminations look like the spotlight in me back garden. Gave me some reet ideas for naff Chrissie lights tho .
Could you imagine?..... English people celebrating St George's Day in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Islamabad and so on? Plus.... does the community of ex-pats there have the same say-so that their counterparts have in this land of ours? Just wondered like?
