That's terrible Pulisa, how awful and nope people have no sense of decency.
This Summer we had a tragic house fire in my home town. It was about 200 yards from where i live. I live in a Close and it was in the road that my Close runs off. It turned out it was an arson attack and a 4 year old boy, his 30 something mother both died and his step dad was critical. It made the national news.
I wen't out to have a fag in the early hrs and heard cracking and popping, turned around and saw it all unfolding. The road where it happened was all taped off and closed for weeks whilst the police investigated it.
Whilst the road was closed for the investigation, people couldn't drive past and see the front of the house so we had a constant stream of traffic driving down our Close just so they could look at the back of the house. We even had people parking up and walking about. Pretty sick in my mind.

Well for the first time in her twelve years my older dog hasn't freaked out with the fireworks , I do really like them myself and my old dog would happily sit and watch them , we tried everything to calm her but tough love seems to have worked , when she starts to freak out and tries to climb all over you we now avoid any eye contact and ignore her , I think trying to calm her just keeps fueling her fear .the new ish dog is unfazed by them and went out to see what they were , she barks at the big bangs but not in a fearful way.
They now start towards Halloween and pretty much carry on until new year , it does get too much .
There always seems to be some idiot filming nowadays instead of helping or at least being respectful, in some countries it's against to law not to help someone in danger , over here you'd get someone video a drowning person instead of helping , I'm not sure I'm cut out for the modern world of fu**wits .

This modern day rubbernecking really is offensive. Not only will they stand there recording, rather than try to help someone, they will rush to upload it to get likes. In some cases the police haven't even contacted loved ones before this sick behaviour.
It's mentality I just can't understand. Standing there recording rather than trying to help.

It's a new form of tourism for some too. Totally sick.
RIP to your neighbours.

I've seen that recommended in general for training, not sure I've seen it about fireworks though, so they learn not to run to you.
Glad your dog is ok. Mine's a little upset tonight. Tomorrow & Monday will be the big days.

Glad to hear your cats ok, Matt. She must have been terrified, even more so as a house cat stuck out in the unknown.
Yep, the idiots just leave it all behind. Same around here. Good work throwing it over their fences

Sounds like nearly all the kids are ok and the last one is being observed to be sure. That's good news. Recent accidents like this have been sadly worse and no one wants to see any more children harmed.
A hope they stop these things happening and it's not another "lessons will be learnt" empty response.

I suspect you won't be alone in that. It must make any parent think.

I just see the point in a loud bang. At least with a rocket you see something.
If the EU can crackdown on loud hoovers they can easily do something here. Our government too.
(Oo er, loud bangs involving fireworks I meant, other loud bangs already fall under police and their public decency laws...)

Had a few fireworks last night but Monday was the main day. It's Diwali now and we usually get a few days of fireworks for this but to be fair they seem to do it more around 6pm for a very short period and then nothing.
My dog spent yesterday snuggled up in his bed looking exhausted. It probably didn't help that we had to take him down the vets early as his contact lens fell out the night before.
How did all your pets, animals and loved ones get on? Is your cat feeling better, Matt?

Cheers Matt. Glad to hear they are ok.
No, it's a temporary contact lens because he has an eye ulcer, quite a bad infection according to the vet. He was taken into doggie hospital and the next day they called us to get him to an eye specialist as he may lose the eye. He was in hospital nearly a week having hourly treatments through the day & night until the last day.
Hes been out over a week now and getting much better but the specialist wanted the lens in a good month if possible. The eye treatments are every 6 hours now but expected to go on for weeks. Antibiotics are finished but still on painkillers.
Luckily it was big but spread out so shallow. If it had been deep the specialist would have been more concerned about whether the eye needed something more invasive. He's very lucky.
