After my dog running off and going missing for 3 hours tonight I'm now fully on board with the fireworks seethe.

That must have been a nightmare for you, glad you got him/her back. 

 

Our older dog was a quivering wreck last night, wouldn't have dreamed of taking him out. I took the youngster out for a walk during the shock and awe and he wasn't bothered at all; just stood watching the fireworks.

Was horrible enough for us, poor wee thing must have been petrified herself. Without Facebook she might have still been out there so I'm thankful for that, and the many people who came out to help look for her.

 

She doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects from the ordeal.

Public sale of fireworks should be ****ing banned.  It's all jakie ****s who buy them anyway, who get pished and launch them at all times from when it gets dark, right through to stupid o'clock in the morning.

 

The dogs across the road from me were going mental last night, and no wonder.  I now live in a nice quiet area where there's barely a noise, and suddenly it was like someone was invading for 10 minutes.  Back to quiet for half an hour, then some other wankers started  Went on from about 5pm, and the last ones were going off at 1:30am.  Dogs must have wondered what the hell was going on.

 

If they are allowed to be sold, at the very least the ones that go off like artillery strikes should be ****ing banned.  There is absolutely no need to try and replicate a small wartime shelling, and they should only be allowed to sell the ones that make a flash with as minimal a bang as possible.  Loud fireworks should be saved for one-off public events, like New Year, and not to arseholes in residential areas.

 

If you want to witness explosions like that, **** off and join the army.

What kind of society allows the purchase of potentially deadly explosives to the public?  At the very least these things can maim and disfigure for life.  That's no to mention the stress caused to animals and, although I am not an expert, I am sure people with PTSD caused by combat situations. 

 

"Hello, I would like to open a pop up shop in this vacant shop"

 

"No problem sir.  What is it you'll be selling" 

 

"Just some cheap explosives you know; 50 shot airbombs that if they work as they're supposed to, won't melt the face off your wife and kids".  

 

Shambles.

I got thrown out of sainsbury's tonight after the security took offence to me asking them to stand back from me. I was waiting to pay and they stood about 6inches away from me to discuss someone they thought was shop lifting. They tried to deny it then they followed me and one was pushing into me using his belly and trying to intimidate me. 

 

 

****ing jumped up prick. I did give him lip on the way out because I never done anything wrong in the first place.

I lost all faith in fireworks. The night,a few years ago, when I looked out my window on the 5th November and saw my old neighbour stagger toward an unlit firework with a lighter in one hand and a can of Stella in the other.

 

EDIT: Actually. Thinking about it. That should read ‘I lost faith in the human race handling fireworks the night I saw my neighbour’...ya de ye

When my boys were wee i would go round to my friends where some fireworks were

set off , that was it, maybe 20 minutes worth, now it goes on for weeks prior 

to the event, but 1-30 and 3-40 in the morning is strange behaviour.

Absolutely !!     Wasn't the Scottish figure something like 1000 call-outs on the night ? And as you say, several crews getting attacked.    Paramedics and police get it too.    Nov 5th is just another  excuse for  dafties to cause mayhem now.    Its embarrassing and shameful that our lovely country has such a high number of utter scumbags  living in it.   Does the likes of Germany & Norway have the same scale of problem with neds/junkies/drunks ?

Glad to hear you got her back  👍 - the poor thing must have been terrified with all these bangs and flashes.  Terrible for you too trying to find her.       My big-eared lurcher was shaking for hours, although she's not as bad as she used to be - she used to run and try to hide under chairs, and wouldn't come out for hours.

[Horatio Caine]

Guido Fawkes.  Well know Scot.  Why do we bother with this in Scotland? Anybody trying to blow up Parliament today would be locked up for life for terrorism.  Why do we `celebrate` this? I know some will say it's because he was thwarted that we celebrate it - really?  Absolutely these dangerous toys for areseholes should be permanently banned.  Fire Brigade should campaign very strongly for it.

Wife works in an East Lothian secondary school. 3 times in the last month, just for kicks, the glass fire alarms have been smashed, each time the Fire Brigade pitches up, it costs the school/council/you & I £250.

Fireworks fired at cars passing by, at people in the streets, at windows of high-rise flats, thrown into buses at bus stops, Just Eat bikes torched, cars torched, public park picnic benches torched, trees set alight, emergency service providers attacked, general drunken-ness and arsehole behaviour all round.
Even Arthur's Seat was set ablaze again on the night of the 5th.

Not to mention the panic and terror caused to pets and other animals.

 

It's well past time that fireworks were banned from public sale.

I’ve experienced fireworks hitting the vehicle I was driving being hit with a firework , thankfully bounced of the front window without going off but what a fright I got 

[Tazio]

Two fireworks just went off somewhere near my house. No way were they something you could buy legally out of a shop in the UK. 

 

[Tazio]

I’ve just read about a hit and run yesterday on the West Approach Road. Some absolute scumbag hit a 6 year old kid on a pedestrian crossing and didn’t stop. 
So if anyone knows someone with a grey Skoda with damage to one of its mirrors...

Scumbag as you say , but, Edinburgh city council in their infinite wisdom of allowing bus stops and putting pedestrian crossings on a road that clearly states NO PEDESTRIANS at all 4 entrances of the road are partly complicit in this . 
It wouldn’t surprise me if they allow bikes along there shortly too. 
 

Hope the wee boy/girl is okay and the driver is caught .

Drove past there a few minutes after - didn't realise what had happened , just saw the ambulances and police cars. So hope they get the scumbag who drove off. Hope the wee kid isn't too badly injured

Here we go again with more "temporary" Spaces for People measures by the anti vehicle CeC!

 

https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article/13021/refining-and-expanding-upon-edinburgh-s-spaces-for-people-initiatives

 

The proposal for a bus gate, fixed cycleway and wider pavements on South Bridge are mind boggling!

 

All tis on the back of 4000 responses to their limited consultation exercise. Using the Covid powers to steamroller these ideas through and I'll bet when we are out of Covid they will claim the measures were so successful and popular that they will make them permanent.

They won't even do that, Edinburgh Clowncil have already (compared to other councils) failed to hold back a reasonable % of the funds from Scot Gov to reverse the measures after covid, they have no intention of doing so and will simply claim that it is too costly to reverse.

[Pans Jambo]

I moved my old mum into a care home 3 months ago. One of the many things I had to do was to close her Gas & Electric account with her supplier (SSE). She was in credit by well over £100 and they said they would post the refund cheque out.

 

STILL WAITING!!!

 

Phoned them up 3 weeks ago and complained. They said they sent it (I double checked the address) and told them I had not received it. So they arranged for another one to be sent.

 

STILL WAITING!!!

 

I called them AGAIN this morning and was on hold for 29 minutes and then went through the same shite again which ended up in them saying they will issue ANOTHER refund cheque but it will take "7 to 10 working days" somehow.

 

Shoddy behaviour.

Sorry matey got distracted and pressed enter by mistake. Must have been the longest 3 hours for you. We lost our Duke for about 3 minutes the other day and my ticker was booming away big style 

 

Re fireworks. Thankfully our neighbour had the good grace to at least ask if we minded him setting some off. Even better when we said we’d rather he didn’t.

 

The sooner they ban them other than for organised displays the better

Don't be daft, no need to apologise.

 

Aye, it was a stressful time and a few drinks were had once we got her back home. We were lucky in the end as she had crossed Maybury Road and Queensferry Road, which are both very busy. She is now terrified of fireworks but thankfully not to the point where she is cowering away in the flat.

The smugness of certain posters on here makes me seethe. The ones who use long sentences to say nothing and talk as though they know everything. Then they have their pals (or other logons)  who come on and immediately back them up. Either they both post or neither does.

Fortunately, it's just a message board and it's easy to scroll past and not take any notice of a handful of comments, but when a good thread is derailed completely, it does leave me

[I P Knightley]

See if someone asks you whether "straightforward" is two words and then you say, "no". Is it really necessary to ask whether it's one word?

 

And then when she does the exact same for "backdated" and when she's asked whether it's one word, you say, "FFS, how many words could it be if it's not two?" - is that being unreasonable?

Zoe Ball she’s bad enough but she’s got that prick Tom Allen on , is there a worse combination? 
The worst radio presenter on the air waves ( J Vine V Felts run her close) and the least funny “ comedian “ to be discovered in the last 5 years 

I've tuned off Radio 2 because of her; much to the dismay of a pal of mine who works on her programme. He's Radio 2 through and through so won't say a bad word about her but you can tell he thinks she's an annoying twit. Doesn't matter who she has on with her; she says "tellybox" and "holibobs" and she can just "fukkyoff".

 

Like others, I can tolerate Tom Allen, though.

 

Good bit of Radio 4 first thing, nowadays; although I do tune in for Popmaster still.

Quite recently, I saw a young adult doing a wheely on his bicycle, on the wrong side of the road, on the A7 at the old Lady Victoria mine. For guys who don't know the area, it's a very busy stretch of road with entry points on it from a couple of directions and bends at either end where traffic regularly moves fairly quickly round from.

Was thinking, at the time, about how the driver of any vehicle who hit him would have been judged without all the facts being known, and the torment that any unfortunate driver would have suffered.
