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.

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.

And your dog is the only one in the country is it? FFS.

Yeah, I think chill drops would be a good idea for this thread.

It's not even the noise that's pissed me off tonight. It's the fucking numpty next door setting them off 3 feet away from my shed and fence.

I’m spending New Years in Australia where they don’t sell explosives in supermarkets. Welcomed the new year in blissful peace.

The thoughtless fuckers don’t appear to realise that it’s the middle of the bastarding night.

My dog wet herself with fear. Half a fucking hour they went on for.

I think it was better years ago but now some of the ones you can buy are way too powerful. Also, it upsets me to hear how much is spent on the London display as the money could be used in hospitals for example, to pay for lifesaving equipment.

Bah humbug. People celebrating on New Years Eve. With fireworks and parties. Whoever heard of such a thing.

@hmmwhatatodo my rabbit is deaf, so he couldn't care less about fireworks. (He's scared of all sorts of other things though, like fruit and crockery; he's a bit weird.)

My inconsiderate absolute wanker of a neighbour set a barrage of them off just after 10.

Spieluhr · 01/01/2019 01:31

My poor dogs were/are terrified

abbsisspartacus · 01/01/2019 01:57

It's quiet but I still can't get the kids down bollocks

My poor rescue dog was reduced to a quivering wreck behind the sofa again tonight. We had fireworks going off every night for the best part of 2 weeks in November. And now this. The sheer fear in her eyes is awful.

But hey Hulloa and Ruffina - she's a dog who barks a few times a day so she deserves to be terrorised right? Hmm

Nosolow · 01/01/2019 03:13

We're I live now can't hear or see any fireworks. But in my old house my dogs and me used to be a quivering mess. They should be only for organised displays, always found it crazy old neighbours letting off fireworks in the postage stamp garden with houses on all sides.

AGHHHH · 01/01/2019 04:14

They started AT 2am here. Hmm

I don't mind a few of them at midnight. I've always expected that's when they'll go off...

AGHHHH · 01/01/2019 04:15

I mean it makes sense. The countdown to the new year... Let off fireworks then, not at 10pm...
