To think that 11pm is too late to start letting off fireworks?

[MamaMaiasaura]

Feckers

They've been going off snce 8 pm here. Ds is sleeping though the lot!
And why do they have to be the professional display sized ones?

i want ot go out, find the people responsible and shove one of their rockets up their asses.. grr

I thought it was illegal to set off fireworks after 11pm (except for new years day) YANBU

it's like blarldy beirut here. ha ha illegal who is gonna go reading the law to them and say "actually you are very naughty to set off fireworks at this late hour" yeah right. police? who?
my DD has just extended her vocabulary to "fire-ee-works". she is 23mo. very funny but says it all.

Awen, go shove that rocket up their asses. Me too.

I've just driven home and had a firework thrown at my windscreen

Last night I was out and about and gangs of teenage lads were lighting them in their hands and tossing them up into the trees and across the road at me.

YADefinitelyNBU. Bangers still going off here.

they have been going off every night for about a month here! (i started a thread about it 2 weeks ago but nobody cared ) getting used to it now, would be a eairry silence if they stopped, dont think i would be able to get to sleep!

the lull of the whoosh bang whizz has become strangely comforting on the dark lonely nights......

i started a thread when our lovely neighbours had obv got November 5th mixed up with September 5th.. littlemiss nobody cared about mine either. But now we can all complain together. I cannot believe it has taken us til Nov 2nd/3rd to unite.

Someone behind us started letting off fireworks the other night midweek at 11pm - and kept going until the small hours. I lay in bed fuming as you are totally powerless to do anything about it. What would the police do, as we couldn't even tell which house they were coming from? Dh was fretting about the effect it might be having on the poor old guinea pigs ...

They were going off from about 11pm last night here to- bloody annoying. I managed to get to sleep about 3ish - feel like shite today.

Sun is setting. lets hope all fireworks schedule go off before 9.30 so little ones actually get some sleep (and us bigger ones).

Am off to another 'proper' display tonight. Will all be over by 9pm.

hey ho here we go again!! another night of firework fun!

it will all be over after monday won't it

...i doubt

They have been going off since this time last week - oh the joy.

Another sleepless night here.

I dont understand why people spend so much money on fireworks at home rather than pay a fraction to go to a fab display that supports local charities etc.

It's illegal to let them off after 11pm except on 5 November, New Year, Eid and Diwali.

but prettybird, it isnt enfored.

Sorry but... ABSOLUTE FUCKERS ... they have started again with the loudest sodding fireworks ever. Really really realy pisses me off.

all my 3 children have had trouble going to sleep tonight because the fireworks are so close to our house - DD (youngest DC) was so kn@ckered that she has fallen asleep on the lounge floor pretty much doing the splits (yes must go and move her) zonked about ten mins ago. "not like fire-ee-work" was the quote of the night. Other two can sleep through pretty much anything but not this.
I'm not a spoil-sport. I love the big displays - and we go to the hooge international firework championship displays (haa haaa they are free!)
I just hate silly people setting them off in the gardens - randomly!!! Grrr.

Just checked on ds (asleep in my bed as quieter in there) He is sparked out, snoring a little Tbh he sleeps very deeply.. just me that is a light sleeper needing ear plugs etc.

My 5 year old DD1 went to bed about 8.30pm. As there were fireworks going off all around I said she could watch from her window. She has gone to sleep with her ear muffs on.

We seem to have had fireworks going off EVERY weekend for the past 4 or 5 weeks, they usually stop about 11pm (as if the person setting them off knows the law. Last week they were still going at midnight and I was all for calling the police when they woke DD1 up. Luckily they stopped before I got through.

WOW they have stopped

whispers

Ditto

Listening to Plain Whtie T's on youtube.. sigh love the deliah song.

Chilling now and going to bed soon.

In WW1 they called this shellshock. Now I know why.
