QUICK POLL: SHOULD THE SALE OF FIREWORKS BE BANNED TO THE PUBLIC

[Currywurst and Chips]

I would agree or disagree if I had a clue what you are talking about.

Henlo Fren, is Doggo speak silly hooman

Doggo speak is another - possibly the worst - thing that 2020 has given us. The sooner this year is over the better.

I got badly burned with a sparkler when I was very young, as I picked it up by the wrong end after some older kids had been throwing them in the air.

Heck fren, you're doing me a sadness.

All you gotta do is close curtains, put lights on, put radio or telly on, wimps the lota ya

Not sure if I'd call for an outright ban, or not....I don't see it as a 'massive' thing tbh.

However I have always struggled to see what the people buying them, and letting them off, actually "get from it". It's just some noise and lights which are all over in seconds, at (no doubt) significant expense, and carrying a risk to life, in the wrong hands.

In The Walking Dead, they use these things to distract the zombies. That says a lot, I think.

'Elf 'n' safety snowflakes alert!

Fireworks stopped being really dangerous when they banned
jumpin Jacks , those f*ckers.could literally chase a 5 year old down a path

50 years ago a group of lads stuffed a banger through our letterbox and ran off.

However, they didn't bargain for my mum and her running ability. She was out that door like a shot and caught one if them. It was 1690 Boab and she booted him right up the ring. Not sure you would be allowed to do that these days.

I know it is. Stuffing bangers through doors was the high octane version of chap door; run away. I miss it too.

Aim for the head instead of the ring next time

Back then most people had metal dustbins, that was fun chucking a lighted banger in bin slam lid back on and run like feck, they was some dam good bangs, kids nowadays just don't know how to have fun

[Adz]

They're banned in Australia. I always liked them, as long as they're only sold to over 18s I don't see the problem

[Thor]

Didn’t any of you let off fireworks in your school?

[Oiram]

Only night of the year the yappy little f*cker next door has been quiet, hopefully it had a heart attack.

Charming, maybe the dog thinks the same about you. Karma Mick, think Karma.

[Dohnut]

Lots of drink, food and masses of fireworks, every year I do my conkers on fireworks. As long as you do it sensibly and behave correctly there is no reason why it shouldn’t be safe and secure for everyone.

Unless you're an animal...then you'll be scared witless....but thats ok as long as you lot are having a good time?

Not all animals are scared. My last Labrador had to be held back and locked indoors, she thought it was great fun to run at them. But My current Lab gets nervous but is fine indoors around us. Scared witless? I guess some are and those that are nervous can be soothed by their owners.

There are many people who have phobias about all sorts of things, spiders, snakes, dogs. So let’s rid the world of them, of course not.

Bizarre post.

[Thor]

Why is it bizarre? My puppy is not scared of them and I was walking her and she's like not bothered in the slightest. My cat is not scared and neither is our bichon friese.
