Why the fucking fuck have we had massive fireworks for the last twenty minutes on Christmas fucking day?!

[hilariousnamehere]

Why? We have had solid bangs for the last twenty minutes - who the hell goes out on CHRISTMAS DAY at 4.30pm for fucking fireworks?

I'm at my mum's and will probably now have to spend boxing day in the emergency vet if it's similar at home, because my cats don't cope well with fireworks and I stupidly assumed Christmas day was not a day for fireworks displays.

Edit for time!

Veterans? Not sure there are many left who faced active combat in the Second World War. Not sure someone’s else’s cats stress related cystitis would even occur to me

So do I but some people clearly don't.

Apparently, their dogs are the prime consideration.

@Bogginsthe3rd Aren't you selfish and don't you just love that about yourself? Yep! Course you do

Yes because there have famously been no wars since WW2

Because fireworks are not associated at all with Christmas, whereas Hanukkah is a ‘festival of light’ and fireworks are sometimes used. Not often. But with it being the first day, it was just a thought!

Harrogate.

@Meandhimtogether Still selfish. Setting fireworks off 'in memory of....' is just an excuse to make a noise. It still terrifies animals, children & elderly with dementia

Honestly people are just inconsiderate wankers and seem to be 100x worse on Christmas.

My neighbours are currently blasting kareoke. We live in terraced houses, why do people think it's okay?!

If you live in the back of beyond knock yourself out. If you live in a populated area maybe have some consideration for other people who might not have the same enthusiasm. Especially on whats a stressful day for many.

Do you also live in Teesside/Middlesbrough because same 😂😂

Here it's been 3 or 4 times a week since Diwali

11.30pm-12am last night

I was so pissed off, was just drifting off. Woke my 4month old baby too, you can imagine how thrilled i was

Luckily the dog is so old he can't really hear them anymore

That made me laugh about Guisborough, couldn't pay me to live there but everyone there thinks the place is something special 😂

It's dark. People are going to firework.

Somebody who got fireworks for Christmas ...?

I doubt there's fireworks displays all over the country so by all means check on your cats if they're at home but also just chalk it up too somebody else's family's shit joke

Of course no other veterans other that the Second World War..... 🙄

This. Try living in some Northern cities with a large Muslim population. This occurs every other night, all through the year.

Our twatty neighbours were setting off fireworks a couple of hours ago. My poor dog has spent the last two hours shaking with fright and still can't settle. There's just no need for it, and fireworks are illegal in my country anyway, so it's doubly twatty.

Oh, I love fireworks. Someone round here had them around 11 on Christmas Eve - no idea, party presumably. What's not to like? My dog wasn't at all bothered, either. Mind, he'd just come back from the pub!

Some dickheads just set off a bunch of fireworks here. They were so loud it sounded like they were right outside the house.

I don't want to see fireworks banned but ones purchased for home use should be silent, and for those used at events it should be a legal requirement that advance notice is given.

My animal isn't bothered by them but plenty are.

We've had the same. I had to spend £600 at the vets for my poor rescue cat the day after bonfire night as she became so shocked she went into urinary retention and needed all sorts of treatments to help her. I've got Gabapentin in for her for New Years eve, but didn't expect anything tonight.

My husband complains about fireworks every time they're set off but my take is, there's explosives being set off for fun and everyone's safe - it's a privilege to experience really.

@SleepyHollowed84 Also in Harrogate! HG2 👋
