FREAKING FIREWORKS

65 replies

DerelictWreck · 01/01/2019 00:00

Would anyone like to join me in my nye grumpiness at ALL THE FREAKING FIREWORKS that are currently causing a din outside my flat?

I mean, I know it's NYE but fuck off! I want to be asleep not listening to your shitty but loud displays, oh neighbours of mine and central London

Lighthearted btw before anyone jumps on me.

The whole thing is a big pile of pish as far as I'm concerned

recreationalcalpol · 01/01/2019 00:29

I have a 17 week old baby and a terrified golden retriever. A lot of shush pat going on here, both human and canine. FUCK OFF FIREWORKS. Really don’t understand why people are allowed to buy them.

HiveStickyFloors · 01/01/2019 00:31

Fucking hell, swear to god our windows just rattled with one, it was so big.

Time for fireworks to be banned. 😡😡😡

IncomingCannonFire · 01/01/2019 00:31

My kids have slept through then and guests baby has too. In fact they have been known to get bored with Nov 5th fireworks and take themselves to bed
I'm disappointed no-one has invented fireworks that look like a dragon or such though

Happy new year! 🥂🍻🍺🍺🍷🍾🥃🎈🍶🍵🎆🎉
Halo

Huge ones here too, more like rocket launchers

brizzledrizzle · 01/01/2019 00:33

yeah, theyve been going off for 45 minutes and its frightening my pets.

hmmwhatatodo · 01/01/2019 00:34

Is it just me who has a pet who sits and looks at the fireworks and then lies back down and ignores it all?

claret3189 · 01/01/2019 00:35

Agreed cant calm my dog down at all

Hulloa · 01/01/2019 00:35

All of you going on about your dogs, this is what the rest of us think when we hear you:

babysharkah · 01/01/2019 00:36

@hmmwhatatodo I wish. Mines going absolutely nuts.

abbsisspartacus · 01/01/2019 00:36

And they are still going off! Just had another loud lot of thunderbangs and on to the screamers!

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/01/2019 00:36

HATE fireworks. They should be banned. Terribly cruel to pets for one thing. Its not that bad here to be honest (thank god) - I had a few going off for around 20 minutes from 12, but it could have been a lot worse. Doesnt help my pets though - spent that 20 minutes cuddling my dog to make sure he was ok. What actual purpose do they serve (I really dont care that they 'look nice')

abbsisspartacus · 01/01/2019 00:39

I have two cats chilled out one up the wall two kids wide awake the walls practically shaking neighbours are taking it in turns to set them off meaning 45 minutes and counting this has actually been going off since tea time but tis midnight 🤷‍♀️

sobeyondthehills · 01/01/2019 00:40

@Hulloa

Fuck off

Katinkka · 01/01/2019 00:41

I must have the only dog in the world who doesn’t give a toss about fireworks 🎆

whatamidoingwithmylife · 01/01/2019 00:43

I hate the fireworks but hate my awful, loud, inconsiderate, scummy neighbours more. They'll probably keep me awake half the night 😡

MadisonAvenue · 01/01/2019 00:46

Katinkka My dog was fine with them up until a couple of years ago, he's 7 now and is absolutely terrified.

Maisymoo22 · 01/01/2019 00:50

I’m currently blasting Jools Holland to try and muffle the sound from my little Yorkshire terriers.
Fecking fireworks 😡

Ruffina · 01/01/2019 00:52

I’m with Hulloa.

Your dogs create more misery with their fucking barking ALL YEAR ROUND than fireworks do on occasional, predictable nights.

BreconBeBuggered · 01/01/2019 00:53

I'm sure my neighbours appreciate an angry JRT to add to the noise of the fireworks when they're trying to get a cranky toddler to sleep, Hulloa.

BabyNameBook · 01/01/2019 00:54

I hate fireworks and barking dogs 🤷🏻‍♀️

LampHat · 01/01/2019 00:56

I have found my people. Triple dose of Valium and my dog is still a panting, shaking terrified mess. FUCK OFF YOU NOISY FLASHY BASTARDS Angry

My dog barks at 1 main thing that is fireworks, I can not say that he doesn't bark at other things, because I cant, I know damn well he doesn't bark all the fucking time because that would drive me nuts, let alone my neighbours.

abbsisspartacus · 01/01/2019 01:06

Can i recommend chill drops from herbal health and home? Delete this if it's not allowed but they work really well for animals and humans I just forgot to order in time 🤦‍♀️ yes I got caught out by new years eve 🤣

Derpess · 01/01/2019 01:07

My little boy is 5 and is autistic, woke up trembling and terrified. Then hid under the bed. Bastards have only just gone quiet.
