Bangers already

Kevin Duffy · 2011-09-18 20:04:17

18th of September. Great, 6 weeks of random, loud, pet-scaring explosions until Hallo'ween. Earlier every year the hoors. Am I getting old, or am I right to find this stupid and annoying?

You're not the only one.

I get a chuckle out of hearing about the resulting injuries though, nice selection of photos about the internet. Survival of the fittest, and all that. Some of them won't think the 'ol bangers and fireworks are much fun after getting half their hand blown off or lose an eye.

They've been going off in my area (hmm, I should probably rephrase that) for the last four days or so. Definitely starting earlier this year than before, though?

Having said that, I was nearly sure Arthur's Day was two months ago, and apparently it's every September.

Would love to let a banger off right beside THEIR ears(or even in them). Might help them to appreciate what it sounds like to a dog. Probably wouldn't stop them though.

so fcuking annoying
and it's always the same people in my area doing it, what's even weirder loads of them are like 18-20 year olds. you have to be seriously mentally deficient if at that age, standing around letting of semi-loud explosions numerous times a day for 6 weeks entertains you. "YAAAAY LOUD BANG"

I hate little scumbags with fireworks. Especially when they decide to put them in a dogs mouth or do worse with them. I'm waiting for it again tbh.

Oh yay

People throw bangers after school when there's a big crowd of people outside the school. It's mostly 2nd years and for some reason they blow up the tidy towns flowerbeds.

The ~aftermath does look kinda funny though..

I heard a few last night, but I thought it had something to do with the Rugby. Oh well. Another example of Prohibition in Action, I guess: banning something just makes it more popular.

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

I hate bangers and I hate fireworks.

I know I must the the grumpiest person in Dublin, but to me they're ridiculous. They're dangerous, scare animals, scare nervous people, keep people awake, and as much as I know I must be the one missing the point, I can't help but think it's dumb that people are so excited by a bit of light and/or a loud noise.

I don't think I'd mind if it was actually just Halloween and New Year's, but August to February is just too much.

Sorry "Kevin Duffy" but you got nothin'. Your credibility is shot, reputation in tatters and your future will be based almost entirely around a dependence on prescription anti-depressants.

While scummy I think its a bit worse to get a banger, wrap it in bread, light it and feed it to an animal.
