Mickly Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Is that pets or fireworks?Both are consumers of money and time and loved by some, loathed by others !CheersIan Fireworks but the same would apply to cats,dogs etc.Don't dislike cats or dogs, just don't want the hassle or expense of owning any again.We had two cats some years ago, well the Mrs and kids did, I just stumped up the vet bills, picked up the turds in the garden, put up with cat hair everywhere, clawed doors and furniture, yelling at them to get off the settee or kitchen worktops; lots of positives really. get a dog , cats are just weird little fookers.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 A mate's granny used to work for a company importing fireworks. They had a whole consignment of mini rockets withdrawn from sale because the fuses were to short, in fact none existent really.Unfortunately they disappeared on the way to being disposed off safely and no one ever discovered where they went. That's how I discovered how fast policemen can run. But they can't slip through the gap in the park railings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Generally I don't like fireworks. I just don't see the point of a lot of noise and smoke for 10min of 2 or 3 different types of white or red lights.My cat can't be bothered about it so not an issue.I don't hate it, it is a waste of energy to hate anything so I just ignore it.Still think there are other more important things to spend the money. But at the end of the day I don't care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 In all honesty it is about celebrating a man that tried to blow up the houses of parliament, which is fine.But the TWAT FAILED what is there to celebrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'm shocked at the amount of cynicism and hostility shown by so many towards our beloved leaders. I mean what have they ever done to us? Hmm on the other hand..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 The main reason people celebrated the failure of the Gunpowder Plot was because they didn't want people on continental Europe making decisions about how we live in Britain. Guy Fawkes and his colleagues were Roman Catholics and people had been led to believe that the issue at stake was the sovereignty of Britain. Are we ruled by an English government or one based in Rome? So the failure of the Gunpowder Plot was simply a pre-run of Brexit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 All leads to the question is Guy Forks the only man to enter the houses of parliament with honourable intentions?As a side note i enjoy fire works, more as an excuse to get together and have a fun night.My post was more about the haters than my view on fire works...

husoi Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 About proper fireworks...The video is pretty self-explanatory.But a little bit of history, St John's is Porto's patron saint (most common patron saints are Peter, Paul and John) and every year there is a proper festival to celebrate it finalized with an "average" fireworks...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I shall be spending my money buying takeaway from our local pub. The do the most excellent haddock and chips with mushy peas. I'd rather spend my hard earned supporting a local business.We have some left over sparklers I can put in the pudding just for tradition.If I see any kids with a guy that has a mask of Dominic Cummings they'll get a tenner.

Fozzie Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Find this thread funny as I recently got into a scuff with someone over it.I ignored her various rants over the days until I spotted one where I saw she was a first time dog owner, and called someone who politely tried to placate/reason with her a c-word. So I decided to dose her with her own poison. Told her she sounded like someone who had moved in next to a pub, and now wanted the pub to close because of the noise, but previously never had a problem going to pubs next to houses before, so maybe back off the name calling and try and talk it out with people Cue piles of drivel, name calling, I didn't even reply, she was replying to what she thought I might reply. So I just back out, but the next day or two she switches to going on about how kids these days are nasty little vandals, and where do they pick it up, so I posted a screenshot of the c-word incident mentioned above, and said "Because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree sometimes". I got a message from the admin, turns out she's friends with his wife and was going off the rails about me, so he said to get her off his back and not cause problems with his wifes friends, he was banning me for 2 days Hell hath no fury eh...
