here in england we celebrate bonfire night or (binfire night)!
but is it a good idea because leading up to bombynight about three months alot of things happen like selling fireworks to kids,old people being scared ,kids getting hurt,adults getting hurt ,people losing limbs ,hospitals having to cope with things that could've been prevented wasting time and money ,animals being tortured,frightening animals, houses being burnt(properties)blowing up cars and phone boxes hoax phone calls to the fire brigade ,lives being taken ,non proper use of fireworks ,some of them are like mortar bombs,and it goes on for a bout two month after nov the 5th
it sound mad but it's true ,
and the good points ,
treakle toffee bangers and mash for tea and toffe apples, great!
how do the people in other countrys think about this and do they have simalar days in the year where firworks are sold for enjoyment !
(i used to love bomby night but now it just seems ridiculous paying money to watch things go in the air then pop,or am i getting old )
and then i think heres me going on about bomby night, and america sells guns for fun !?

The latest one round my way is the clowns putting fireworks inside wheelie bins, post boxes and phone boxes. It's like a terrorist attack.
They start selling fireworks months in advance, but i think a new law is being brought in here in Scotland to restrict the sale to the week surrounding bonfire night.

you can buy them on markets and the like ?
they said that a while a go but it does'nt seem to have changed
it the same as being 18 to buy fireworks it does'nt matter (did it used be sixteen)shop keepers r there to make money ?
lets hope they do change the law
(don't get me wrong i used to mess about with fire works dangerously holding them throwing them using pipes as rocket lauchers playing army with your mates and that but the youngsters today are well worse cos they dont give a sh*t they've been brought up wrong there full of bad attitude towards anybody they feel like giving sh*t to becuase they hang around in groups of about 15 or more . (well 80% of teenagers anyway)
i blame gangsta rap or whatever you want to call it yo!

Funniest thing i ever saw last night and i'm sure Jacky boy can at;east picture this properly
Going along Melville drive and on one side of the road at the bottom of the road there was a gang of chavs on the bottom of the links and on the other at the edge of the meadows using the trees for cover were another
Anyway, the 2 gangs of chavs were shooting fireworks at eachother from either side of the road, like a war with only chavs turning up. Stupidly dangerous, whole place was a warzone and the pigs didn't do anything about it for some reason
btw, for the benefit of anyone not rom britain pigs is a slang term used for the police
