Fireworks are quite literally watching your money go up in smoke RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - Sm© - 07-11-2022 13:42 ^^ There was an official council organised fireworks display in my home town on Satarday night, lasted well over an hour, noisy as fuck yet pretty to look at, I dread to think how much taxpayers money literally went up in smoke. Britain would probably be a much more tolerant society if the gunpowder plot had been successful... RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - skully - 07-11-2022 15:33 Some of the ones going off near us sounded fucking massive, display sized, I dread to think what that was like for people with dogs and babies, or that suffer from a nervous disorder. Also, some cunts were launching the things well outside of the hours allowed, sure we all like breaking rules every now and again, but ffs, they were taking the piss. FYI, the rules in Scotland. ''It is illegal for the general public to use fireworks before 6pm or after 11pm (this extends to midnight on 5 November and 1am on Hogmanay, Chinese New Year and Diwali).'' RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - Tumble_Drier - 07-11-2022 16:17 ^Hitting the nail on the head. When I’ve suggested they should be banned from sale the response is usually “well you had them when you were a kid “ and it’s true, I did. However… Mine were the usual “Standard Fireworks” assortment with Catherine Wheels that wouldn’t spin, rockets that struggled to get higher than roof level and finished with a whimper not a bang and the infamous sparklers that lasted all of 20 seconds. Some of the stuff available to Joe Public these days makes the windows rattle! RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - lovebabes56 - 07-11-2022 19:15 I thought there was a ban.... and I actually wonder if any fireworks sold to the public actually break British standards in any way especially where powder is concerned I think some kids must be using fake ID's to get their hands on them i've certainly not seen any in for sale in my Sainsburys so can only think the little smart arses are getting them online somewhere. RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - Snooks - 07-11-2022 20:45 It just seems to me people have an obsession with making as much noise as possible by whatever means. Fireworks are one such method. Then there are people who modify their cars to create ridiculously overpowered noisy vehicles. Or people who do the same with stereo systems in the home or in cars to generate volume so high it can be heard on the bloody moon!! FFS . Snooks well and truly going off on one RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - skully - 07-11-2022 21:01 ^ When it comes to car exhausts and stereos, there's a point where something goes from being loud and fairly cool, to just obnoxious. Old man Snooks, get off my lawn, kids these days, you don't know you're born, bloody kids...fists a shaking RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - lovebabes56 - 07-11-2022 21:06 there should be a grumpy old man thread methinks RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - Snooks - 07-11-2022 21:08 Yeah grumpy, cranky, scenile old Snooks - lol RE: The "Pissed Off " Thread - Tumble_Drier - 07-11-2022 21:58 (07-11-2022 20:45 )Snooks Wrote: Then there are people who modify their cars to create ridiculously overpowered noisy vehicles. This reminds me of a couple of work related incidents in the dim & distant past... First one was when I was an apprentice working on a chemical site on the coast. Another Apprentice had the aforementioned offensively loud car stereo installed in the XR3i that he'd gone massively into debt to buy. Every lunchtime he'd be out in the site car park with this monstrosity wound up to 11 and refused to turn it down in spite of various polite requests, threats of violence etc. So one very hot day the top of his car was covered in slices of bread stuck down with a liberal coating of strawberry jam. The local Seagull population loved it but it took him ages to polish out the shit stains & dried jam after a couple of hours of it baking in the sun Incident number 2. Yours truly was site manager for a rewire scheme for my current employer a few years back. Again it was the middle of summer and there was this one utter wanker on the estate who insisted on balancing his speakers on the bedroom window sill and playing some god awful rap "music" at full blast from when he crawled out of bed (never much before 11am) until well after we left at 4. The neighbours were rightly pissed off and various complaints & threats from the council had been ignored. He got the message when yours truly removed the main fuse from his outside meter box and lobbed it in the park pond down the road 3 days in a row and he was threatened with a huge bill from Northern Powergrid for calling them out too often The moral of this story? Never Piss off an Electrician. We're fucking evil when pushed |
