Happy New Year.
Fireworks. I don't mind fireworks on November 5th, or New Year's Eve. Specifically at midnight on New Year's Eve, and maybe for five or ten minutes after. Not at 11.30pm. Why would you let them off at 11.30pm? What's the point of that? What's the point of letting off fireworks to celebrate the turn of the New Year HALF AN HOUR before the turn of the New Year? You might as well let them off on August 25th. It's like saying 'I'm having a 40th birthday party next week', 'oh, I didn't realise it's your 40th birthday', 'it's not, I'm still only 36 but thought I'd have the party now'. Twats.
Same thing happened here, from 11.30PM onwards. In the morning it looked like Aleppo outside, the streets were strewn with the remnants of firecrackers and fireworks. Its not even like the wankers bothered to let them off in their fucking gardens. This is another 'import' another tradition that we never observed. Bastards.
