Dear God no....

[Olf]

Please tell me I'm imagining the sound of fireworks outside. Please....

[Lord Flathead]

Ah tis the Festival of Light rehearsals..

[Project 644]

You are imagining the sound of fireworks outside.

















Actually, you're not. It must be the chav's payday.

[War Pig]

At least it's not jingle bells.

Yet.

[rocksteadyeddie]

Nah. Diwali is mid-October sometime IIRC

[ewenm]

Fireworks are good all year round. They keep the evil spirits at bay.

Where I live they have dress rehearsals

[GTIR]

Fireworks are used at your own peril where I live.

Racehorses are a bit mental and don't take well to loud bangs.

I can't stand fireworks, the next 2 months will be fireworks every night for no reason at all. They are only required on one fking day!

surprising, you normally seem like such a cheery soul

[deevlash]

You didn't need to. Your comment "In England?" implied every religion outwith these isles should not be celebrated here.

Nothing wrong with it, if I'd been fasting for weeks I'd want to let my (metaphorical) hair down a bit. Most of the muslims I know in England treat it as a quiet festival and just start eating again at the end ! No pomp, no loud ceremony, just a big meal.
