I haven't heard any fireworks tonight (I live up in Ballinode), seems like the neighbours got rid of their fireworks over the last week. Last night was pretty quiet as well, all told.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em

Poxyshamrock

Haven't heard a thing today irish-stew! In fact it went quiet here before 12 last night.

Strange, Starting to get suspicious now!

You're going to have to explain what guyfalks night is as I'm not familiar with it?

yep - still going off here too! :rolleyes: Oh well, they'll run out of them soon!

My brother poor little doggie ran off (lives in clonsilla) last weekend as a result of all the fireworks and bangers going off (he had to jump a 10ft wall to get out and he's NOT a big dog - he must have been so scared - poor thing)

They haven't found the dog since - kids are devastated

Outer Bongolia

the only fireworks going off around here tonight were when my mother and father were arguing over money

part of the gun powder plot, 1605 5th nov when a group of catolic conspisiers, led by guyfalks, along with an ancomplice tried to kill james I in the palace of westminister (parlament) along with the rest of the goverment, basically filled the whole basement with gunpowder, was caught just before setting it off

was exectued by burning hence the bonfires every nov 5 in england, with the guy on top, usally a stuffed elegy representing guyfalks, used to get kids going around in the week leading asking for a penny for the guy, the fireworks represnting the gunpowder plot

not actully celebrated as a holiday, normal working day in the UK, but same as here with kids going round for a weeks before setting of fireworks, throwing them, pushing bangers through letterbox, etc, worse thing, can be bought over the count legally

getting back to topic, no more fireworks here

Blowfish

There were still a fair few around my area, plus a couple of bonfires too (well maybe, it's tough to work out which are the bonfires and which are just created by the pyromaniac scumbags who set fire to things the whole year round)
