Down here we put pumpkins out at the front. If there are no pumpkins then you don’t knock. 
 

I’m not sure if that’s a Uk thing now but I knocked on any old door when I was a kid 

 

 

Yes and yes. Not that we had pumpkins bacj then mind, still remember the horrors of trying to carve a fucking turnip.

I'm informed nobody came to our door, they never do, there's no bairns in the street*. I still get some fredos just in case the odd one turns up which we'll just have to eat instead.

 

*The Jimmy Savile/Gary Glitter/Fred West posters I put on the door probably helps as well.

Jesus man. Glad you're OK!

One of the lads who rides with us now and then last night was crying because his dog was scared over bonfire night. He acts a hard lad all the time mouthing off about woke people and how men need to be men etc. Then cries as his dog is scared over fire works 

 

BTW I fucking hate bonfire night and fireworks but it's funny seeing him go against his fucking agenda. 

[Gemmill 44319]

Our estate was like a war zone for a good hour last night. Cat and dog fucking bricking it. It's the only time I wish I was on Facebook so I could go on our estate's shitty Facebook group and tell whoever is setting off the explosions that I hope they take one in the eye.

Glad you’re ok man. 
 

Is that your car or the idiot’s? 

[Alex 34801]

The older of my two dogs is partially deaf. It’s been a blessing in disguise as he can only hear higher pitched noises like when you whistle. I say that because he was previously terrified of fireworks and I have little doubt it would have caused him to have a heart attack or something as he’s now 15. He would literally shake with panic for hours. Only to be set off again with even the sound of a distant firework if you could eventually get him calmed. You can get get stuff prescribed, basically Valium, which did seem to work. Problem is it needs to be taken hours in advance, you can’t give them it too often and it’s not just one night that it happens.

Honestly, it’s a genuinely heartbreaking thing to witness.

I get that people like them and I wouldn’t go for an all out ban. But you can get ones now that make little or no noise. I would regulate it more too and only allow organised displays.

Thats mine, he got the tbone treatment, mine was head on.

 

Old boy was 82 years old and walked away without a scratch.

 

Very embarassed of course but he was alright, copped to it being his fault immediately and on the police report and all that. 

[wykikitoon 19872]

We had a dog as kids and on around bonfire night we would sit in a cupboard with the dog with the radio on trying to keep her occupied poor thing  

Where I live now though you have Bonfire night, fucking Diwali and Yom Kippur and New Years eve.

Glad he's alright too, but maybe time to retire the license old lad.

[ewerk 30234]

Over here you need a licence for fireworks. It's only £30 but has put off the vast majority of people from buying them to the point it's a rarity to see a firework on Halloween night.

[Gemmill 44319]

I'd love something like that here. It's ridiculous that anyone over 18 or whatever it is, can buy them.

Was the same on this new estate last night. Throngs of spackerjacks lining up to gawp at the bang bang lights in the sky while one of our cats didn’t know where to turn for the best. Hope whichever fuckwit spent his life savings on the nigh on 3 hour display he put on opposite us shits out a hedgehog this morning

[Ayatollah Hermione 13784]

Hope you’re doing grand, Andrew. Finding someone else to run this place would have been a nightmare
