hughesie27 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yay or Nay? Personally I love it. Nice looking round seeing fireworks going off everywhere, Good that we haven't had too many go off before the night as well. Where are you getting your fireworks this year?

jambo 71 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I love bonfire night, watching all the fireworks is fab. Taking my daughter to Pittencrieff park in Dunfermline on Thursday night, just hope it doesn't rain and spoil the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be bothered now with it all. An xcuse for the braindeads to stone firemen and hurt animals. Wish some of the neds would blow themselves up. As for fireworks, should not be sold to the public.

heartsfc_fan Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm all for organised displays. But, personally I think they should make fireworks very expensive too buy...they are far to cheap - basically meaning any idiot can buy them.

Guest King Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Nay, shan on the animals, especially my dog. En plus, arsehole neighbours who set them off at random times through the day/night, on random days of the week before and after the actual night. Have a thought for everyone else FFS. They are set of round here by an attention seeking wierdo family. And as someone else said earlier, you get the dreggs of society strapping fireworks to poor animals, very upsetting. Do what you like to a human , leave the innocent animals out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this one, Doug - organised displays, fine, otherwise a definite no. Our black Lab can go for walks and not bat an eyelid where there's shooting going on or birdscarers, but cowers under the bed trembling when there's fireworks going off for days before the event itself. And don't even get me started on the mindless morons who use it as an excuse to inflict wanton cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Never been to an organised fireworks do in my life, just another indicator of how soft and lacking in confidence/knowledge/imagination we've become. Used to have cracking bonfires when I was a kid, always adults there but no need for St John's ambulance barely qualified volunteer nae mates get yourself seen jacket wearing types. If we burnt a finger getting tatties out the fire we just got on with it. Mind you, it was alll fields round here when I were a nipper. Yep, I remember this being a family event, well as it's my birthday, grandparents would be there. Used to get soup handed round, fantastic evening usually. The whole build up of building the fire only to see it burned the day before....for the cooncil to come along and rebuild it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you incapable of setting them off on fireworks night instead of anytime in the autumn as is the attitude of scruffs just now. My dogs not come out from under the bed all night and I can deal with that. But it's the twonks that set them off for weeks that really rattle my cage. Fireworks night is tonight, not saturday night.

blondejamtart Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Well, following my earlier post, we had a very traumatic evening when our Lab went missing after being terrified by the fireworks. Myself and the kids were out searching for ages and couldn't find him - thankfully, he eventually turned up four hours later, cold, wet and shaking with fear but otherwise unhurt.

The People's Chimp Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It's quality. Although I was playing fives last night and didn't do anything, as a kid I loved it.

Good to hear he's ok bjt. My Border Collie was always terrified of fireworks. She hadn't been keeping well lately so on tuesday night when there were some being let off outside, for the 1st time in 13 years she just didn't seem to care. I took her back to the vet yesterday as her condition had really deteriorated and had to get her put to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry to hear that, Alan - it's always difficult getting a much-loved pet put to sleep. Whatever anyone may say, it's like losing a member of your family. At least at 13, she had a long and happy life with you, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Sorry to hear. We were playing a friendly through in Preston Pans last night.

Bert Le Clos Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I voted no after having fireworks flying at us at rugby training last night. Some might say it serves me right for playing rugby, but I think it's totally out of order. And the worst part is if I'd found the lad who did it and given him a smack I'd be the one in the Tam Kite.
