All week, every night there have been fireworks.. Obviously the exception tonight as it is Bonfire/Guy Fawkes night.

But when I was younger, it was 1 night of the year, all over with..

But now its the days leading up to it, and the days after Guy Fawkes night (5th Nov.) all the way up to New Years Eve.

Theyre driving me crazy!!

Anyone else being driven mad by this?

I guess thats the only good thing about the US, It's illegal to light fireworks in neighborhoods etc after July 5th and before July 3rd for independence day.

At least in the area I live in it is :D

Had fireworks around here a week before Halloween, quick call to 911 and they come and take them away.

Morons keep throwing them at pets and being an animal lover that makes me angry so I don't mind reporting them.

We have illuminations every year, traffic is terrible when the illuminations are on. It takes 2 hours to get from A to B! :love:

Lol im obviously a bit weird cus fireworks put me to sleep. Dunno why. I was using my fireworks last night (which doesen't pester people as I live rurally away from lots of people). I played frisbee with one of those spinning sparklers and when we got pissed we used our beer bottles to shoot the fireworks but we put one in upside down and it blew up the glass. Lol we couldn't stop laughing.

I used to go to all the school firework displays when I was younger, but I just grew out of them I suppose. They're still pretty cool though!

Humans are drawn to fire like flies to lightbulbs, Iv always felt that big fireworks shows have something mighty and inspiering over them. Kids running around with crackers however you feel like yelling at the person who banned diceplilinary beatings in this country.
