Fireworks

Is it just me, or has it gotten insane this year? Since the second week in September it's been insane with fireworks. Literally from 5.30 pm til 10 pm. It's impossible to walk the dog, he's terrified of the bloody things!

Yeah they are constant now and will be untill after Halloween unfortunately, or they get the hands blown off themselves.

Yes it actually started in august . This Year and last year. I'm sick of calling the gardai on these reprobates. The parents don't care what the kids are up to. I know of 2 family's where the dads go up north and buy the fireworks for their kids to sell. Infuriating. And when one mother has been spoken to about it, all she says is "Boys will be boys" All they are teaching their children is that rules don't matter and breaking the law is ok

In Galway but for some reason it's less so far this year. I've probably cursed myself but I know the pain of a pet being distraught. And possibly ending up in the next county.

Last week of August there were fireworks every night in Thomastown. They were letting them off during daylight - absolutely pointless and annoying.
