The problem of course is that one man’s dislike is another man’s favourite pastime*.Unfortunately some things are better being kept out of the reach of morons who want to misuse them and make everyone else’s life miserable.
Fireworks are a particular hate of mine. I still have a video on my phone from 2020 in which our truck and a couple of police vans, plus parked cars receive a barrage of rockets that would have put Congreve to shame.
Aside from the fact that the entire Guy Fawkes tradition is very questionable. The grisly execution of a persecuted religious group by a bent monarch and his inner circle or the joyous celebration of traitors receiving their comeuppance?
Why it’s acceptable for pyrotechnics and small scale explosives to be on general sale to pretty much anyone still baffles me, and I see that Scotland has recently gone down the route of regulating. One of the very few sensible things the Scotgov has done imho.
He was uptown, with a girl.Yes, apparently he's An Innocent Man.
boris cut a shed of pumps when he was in charge of londonBrexit.
Or Boris.
Maybe both.
I can understand the dreadlocked hipsters having no concept of soap, but they must have heard of water.On that last, it‘s most likely that it was chucked away before it was cold.
and for the snowflakes moaning about a few burnt houses and cars
in 1666, the Great Fire of London
destroyed 13,200 houses , 87 Parish Churches , St Pauls Cathedral, The Royal Exchange, and the Guildhall
One of the masterpieces of early Government "nudge" tactics. The saintly Lancelot Andrewes (or sometimes Launcelot Andrews given the 16/17th Century slapdash approach to consistent spelling...) preached "King-James-Approves-This-Message" sermons suggesting that burning Guy/Guido Fawkes in effigy every year was a good, sound Church of England thing to do. (Oddly, of course, burning him was about the only exquisite refinement not planned for Fawkes' execution). Totally coincidentally, Andrewes had been consecrated as bishop just before 5 Nov 1605, and his career blossomed yet further after his regular sermons against not just Fawkes but also the dastardly Earl Gowrie who had died trying to kidnap or assassinate James VI three years before he gained the English crown. Fireworks were the BIG THING in the 17th century - Peter the Great was obsessed with them - and thus old Guido's felony offered the perfect opportunity to divert the new fad, combined with the traditional English celebratory bonfire, into something constructively helpful for the Government.Aside from the fact that the entire Guy Fawkes tradition is very questionable. The grisly execution of a persecuted religious group by a bent monarch and his inner circle or the joyous celebration of traitors receiving their comeuppance?
Or mosques. temples, tower blocksBut no cars. How lucky was that?
Or mosques. temples, tower blocks, refugee hotels, curry houses, poor peoples' freebie food dispensaries with their convenient car parks
, and bus depots full of vehicles driven by the fathers of politicians.
Amazing.

Kirsty (who has obviously been studying Aristotle Descartes and Heidegger) said:I don't think it's worth the price if it sets your house on fire.
I thought that rattan garden furniture would be a dodgy outdoor setting bought in Northern Ireland.The decapitated cow has had some deep thoughts about spending four hundred pounds on rattan garden furniture.
No this is arctic rattan, only grows at the North Pole and can't handle the raging English temperatures of over thirty degrees.This would be the rattan that grows and is widely used in areas much hotter than the UK and has never been known to spontaneously combust, no?
Bet the dozy bovine is a smoker who is more than a little careless about where it litters.
It's all the hydrogen and oxygen in the soil that makes arctic rattan liable to spontaneously combust.Ah, grown in the rich soil of the Arctic ice cap. Got it.
