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. Glad to hear G is still with you guys. Our two hated fireworks, every new year was a fucking nightmare as we live a couple of kilometres from Sydney Harbour and that shitshow they'd beam out to the world every NYE. And @Andrew good to hear you are okay albeit banged up slightly. Edited 5 hours ago by sammynb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding someone else to run this place would have been a nightmare Agreed.

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. Yep, never seen an explosions in Belfast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10695 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Fireworks were insane on the weekend, and last night. Maybe three doors down appeared to trying to one up their neighbour. Some of the explosions were proper window rattlers. Made me think differently about Gaza. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loveable half blind, half deaf, little shitbag Thankfully there's one lovable G-Dogg, who is also smart enough not to predict shite that will never happen! Hope he enjoys his dinner and lounging on the couch for the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
