Jesus man. Glad you're OK! 

[wykikitoon 22839]

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 49900]

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 36709]

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 22839]

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 33205]

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 49900]

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 14671]

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

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.

Agreed. Leaving Toontastic in the hands of CT is more terrifying than Trump being Pres.

It’s G-Dogg’s 15th birthday today as it happens. Roast beef as treat for later. The loveable half blind, half deaf, little shitbag

Yep, never seen an explosions in Belfast.

[The Fish 11320]

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.

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.
