Fucking Fireworks, now on Christmas Day??

[Tinselunderthetv]

WTF, super loud fireworks being set off currently…

Same here. Attention seeking fuckers

You're very welcome. I think the one I have is the charcoal softie. The only thing I would say is that the cover isn't removable, however I take the whole thing to the launderette and it goes in their large machine. In between, I use a steamer and a carpet cleaner with an upholstery attachment.

Thank you. Exactly all of this, plus pollutes the environment with burnt pieces of plastic. I can't understand why they're still not banned.

Here too. Thought I was imagining it until I went to the back of the house and could hear them properly.
Arses. What a waste of money.

Erm, how about our freedom to enjoy our main religious holiday in peace?

There's also the small matter of the law.

The law says you must not set off or throw fireworks (including sparklers) in the street or other public places.
You must not set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except for:

• Bonfire Night, when the cut off is midnight
• New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, when the cut off is 1am

@Fluffyfluffkins who said the fireworks were set off after 11pm...... so where was the law broken?

They're also used to celebrate lots of religious festivals.

🧨 🎆

I know people that have sent their loved ones ashes up in a firework, I think that's great!

They have been here last Christmas and yet again this Christmas plus random times on the regular long before and long after November 5th.

I don't think peoples' urges to see momentary bright colours in the sky with loud bangs trumps the welfare of animals, war veterans with PTSD, and the list of others who suffer due to the environment-polluting shite.

@Fluffyfluffkins but as I said previously no one said they'd broken the law by having fireworks after 11pm today!

You may not like the law, but if people are living within it, that's life 🤷‍♀️.

If you want to petition for fireworks laws to be changed, feel free, but up until then, people are free to have fireworks!

Bah. I'm going to start a PTSD Survivors For Fireworks pressure group to try and put the lid on these co-opting ninnies who keep dragging us into this squabble.

Ah, sorry. By "They have been here last Christmas and yet again this Christmas" I should have clarified that I meant that fireworks have been set off well after 11pm around here , in this part of the country, each time.

I've heard them around midnight, 1am and 2am on a during the year . I wonder who thinks it's fine to set off bangers around 2am on a Monday. . 🤔

@Fluffyfluffkinsoh course you did..... 🤔

👏

I've signed those petitions for over 20 years ("Ban The Bang" etc).
I wonder if those firework lovers knew the damage that fireworks do they'd reconsider their position.

I'm going awy fromthis friggin maddes

@Fluffyfluffkins clearly not enough people feel like you then!

Because all the petitions you've signed have made no difference!

Some folk get just a tad traumatised by war, combat etc. #
Shell-shock is still a thing.

@Fluffyfluffkins people get traumatised by all sorts of things!

I hadn't noticed......

Honestly? Thanks for letting me know

It's true. I live in a densely populated area ....some being very dense...

@Fluffyfluffkins you had your noticed that your petitions are futile?

Really?

How odd!

@Fluffyfluffkins really? You believe that people that alike fireworks are all dense.....

You think setting off fireworks in the early hours is not dense??

Our stupid neighbours behind us started setting fireworks off at 11.30pm, fgs. Twats. My poor dog was shaking with fear, he hates them.

It's particularly twatty because fireworks are actually illegal here in Ireland, unless you have a licence.
