I'm in with the miserable brigade. My cats hate it as do many people's dogs. I live in a rural area surrounded by farms and still people leave them off at all times A friend of mine served in the Middle East and is on all sorts of anti psychotic drugs for PTSD. It's odd how we celebrate the deaths of a Catholic plot to blow up the House. However it's one day and I used to enjoy it as a kid. So for one day only fine but none before or after. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Anyone doubting Bonfire night gets pellets. I hate Halloween too and the grotesque mischief night where we tell our young citizens it’s ok to be anti social and cause mayhem because it’s only a laugh . Contro loves this ,many hate it Next up,the time of the year when people get into debt to buy things for ungrateful kids many of whom ditch them by January 1st . Many are happy with the wrapping paper. Try it with a two year old . Then ,we get hammered,for a laugh, then kick the shyt3 out of anyone that accidentally bumps into you. No ? Then distant relatives pop around who expect you to feed and water them before you realise actually detest each other more than you previously thought. Then it’s bland white meat accompanied with Brussels sprouts ,which appear out of nowhere to fester on our plates ,complete with …what’s that…Cranberry sauce,an American abomination that should stay in Vermont or New Hampshire along with that disgusting Maple syrup. By this time,you re praying something of interest pops up on telly so you don’t have to listen to these cretins anymore Reading Boxing Day innit .. Merry forking Christmas |  |

Well they say this ''Safety was our main consideration and the weather forecast for the next few days is predicting stormy winds and rain' I think they have got it completely wrong, even when they announced this cancellation, the weather was looking suitable. And looking now from 3pm onwards partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. Letting a lot of people down, with IMO is not a very good excuse “We’re hugely disappointed to have to cancel the fireworks display due to the forecast of severe weather as, like thousands of residents, we were looking forward to an amazing event,” said the council’s council cabinet member, Robert Francis-Davies. What? Partly cloudy and a gentle breeze. Heads should roll over this, I wouldn't be surprised if Drakeford had something to do with it as well, |  |

| Nov 5th on 19:45 - Nov 4 with 1508 views | howenjack | Bit of History ... Just outside Dudly and about 400 yards from Himley hall in the West Midlands just off the main Himley Stourbridge Road is Holbeach house . It is an old people's home but in 1605 was the scene of the last stand of the gunpowder plotters it was here that Robert Catesby led the charge out of the front door into a hail of Musket balls dying instantly and he wasnt the only one to perish . The remaining plotters were taken to London tried and hanged drawn and quartered . The red sandstone facade still bears the marks of the musket balls and the door is the exact same one they charged through that day . There are posters on the wall inside telling the tale of the aborted coup . The nursing staff are also very polite and will talk to you if approached for comment. [Post edited 4 Nov 2022 20:10]

| Nov 5th on 14:45 - Nov 5 with 1417 views | Joesus_Of_Narbereth | I seem to remember a few years ago there was a program where they built a replica of parliament as it would have been in the seventeenth century and blew it up using the same type and same amount of gunpowder Fawkes used. It was one hell of an explosion and would have taken half of London with it. Would have made the great fire of London look like a small sparkler. |  |

The forecast is looking accurate, rain cleared and a gentle breeze forecast. They need to be questioned over this. If the answer is we took the decision based on the information available, sack them on the spot. Even I, could have done better than this, a ferking year to plan it, and they call it off, because they say there will be bad weather which wasn't even forecast when they said it. |  |

There’s a common denominator regarding dog waste on pavements etc and discarded bottles , red hot buried bbqs left on beaches , it’s humans I’m currently trying to calm down my terrified two year old dog yet again through no fault of his is desperately trying to get away from the loud bangs surrounding him , yet again caused by humans , for me the sooner they ban private purchase and just have a public display ONE day of the year can’t come soon enough |  |

Many people dealing with frightened animals, or worse animals that have run away or died from fright would strongly disagree. Loved them as a kid, but loved lots of of other things like certain TV programmes which the grown up me knows have no place in the modern world. Also when I was young the Standard fireworks were tame. Now ordinary households can easily by commercial type fireworks Just crazy |  |

The time for fireworks has passed. Like the old comedies and variety shows with jokes and song and dance routines we now see as racist. |  |

Gone too far with Christmas. After losing my wife in 2018 the four Christmases since have been miserable affairs for me. Looking forward to this Christmas for the first time with my new partner, whilst never forgetting those we have lost [Post edited 6 Nov 2022 9:51]
