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. 

 

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.

An update. I feel so fortunate. Back at home with the family, had a very long and frank discussion with Mrs Rents. She'll continue supporting me as long as I don't drink, which is obviously fair enoug

Had a couple a nights away in Keswick, got back yesterday morning. As is often the case I usually wake up at daft o’clock when I’m not at home in my own bed. Preoccupied with thoughts of today’s match

Last night I was sitting in the lounge minding my own business after the kids were put to bed.  I had the big light on.  Wor lass walked into the room and turned the big light off, fuck knows why.   S

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

 

 

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

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.

 

Yep, never seen an explosions in Belfast. :whistle:

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.

Just got back from lunch with the Mrs at Altrincham Market. Quite the star-studded affair, let me tell you. There was Mark Chapman having a glass of red with who I can only assume are his parents, Gethin Jones having a quiet coffee on his own and Jenny Powell out with some gal pals.

 

More as we get it.

I didn't speak to him or anything, he looked dishevelled.

I had to double check there that I wasn’t re-reading that article about Quincy Jones and all the people he’d met  and worked with

This is when the pronouns would help.  Fuck me, I'm shitting myself just looking at her photo!  Some mofo is already her bitch in prison!

 

Just the 14 previous convictions? She seems nice.
