Hate fireworks as it is but it really pisses me off that diwali is celebrated virtually a day or two each year before bonfire night and they too celebrate with fireworks so i have to listen to twice as much **** plus as their celebration is first, the novelty of hearing and seeing fireworks all night on bonfire night feel less important, its like watching a great film a second time a day later so not as thrilling.

One of my dogs is terrified by them. Been really bad for 2 weeks or so. Still I think every year it gets a bit better. 5 or so years ago they were none stop for weeks.

Complete agree. It frightens the life out of my cats! Yet my dog aint bothered!

Both neighbours let off a ridiculous amount of fireworks too. Literally £100s worth of them! :twisted:

I love fireworks and the whole tradition of it, but one night only, and go to an organised event, that's out in the sticks preferably.

I too have dogs, and it really upsets one of them.

Bloody fireworks any excuse nowadays, I'm sure as a kid I don't remember fireworks on New Year's Eve for example.

Here's an old school engraving ( we didn't have cameras back then)



Me and the guys...what fun we had, but the trick we played on James backfired :D

:lol: Very good

Can't stand fireworks and do not understand why people spend silly money on something that they set fire to. Paying the gas bill is enough! :x

I have no time for fireworks. They don't piss me off…. they nothing me. I just don't see the appeal. Never have. I think you have to be pretty basic to enjoy fireworks. Especially the crap, corner-shop bought ones that people tend to send up in their back gardens. Fiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………. pop!
:roll: Please.

Waste of money IMO, even as a kid wasn't keen or that excited, remember cold wet November nights waiting for a pathetic Catherine wheel to work and thinking I just want to go back inside the house where it is warm.

My mate asked me if I wanted to go with him and 2 others to watch the firework display at Kenilworth Castle on Saturday, I wasn't keen and when he said it costs £10 I definitely wasn't keen at all :!: :!:

Don't worry lads only 2 more nights and whatever late displays go on at the weekend. Then you'll have Xmas and New year to look forward to :lol: you could always drown it out by playing Katy Perry's Firework on loop :lol:

When theres more fireworks going off on Diwali than there is for fireworks night it shows what a sorry state this country is.

To tell you the truth I never heard of it until you posted! In my area there are very few ethnic minorities. Mainly just shop owners.
