You know, if I were a terrorist attempting to blow something up in this country, I think I'd do it on the Saturday before November 5 (and when did it change from fireworks on the fifth to fireworks the preceding Saturday, anyway?). You could make an ungodly loud explosion, and nobody would notice in the middle of the din of all the other ungodly loud explosion. Everyone would just wake up in the morning to find a gaping hole in the city centre and no clue how it got there.
Fucking fireworks.
- >_>
(Also? Snape/Aslan is nasty, bad and wrong, and I will have no part in it. I will not abide anything that threatens that sanctity of the Lucy/Aslan OTP, damnit!)
However, in all my years (many many many years *cries*) I find that people start letting off fireworks mid October, and continue doing so until mid December. It's annoying, and frustrating to pet owners. Really, I'm lucky - with Snowball possibly being deaf, she doesn't hear the fireworks - if she does, it doesn't bother her in the slightest. I can only image how crazy my mums dog is going right now, considering he goes mad if he hears a bird flying past the window. :x
I'm also fairly sure that Snowball isn't deaf. When I had the smoke alarm fiasco when I was staying over with you, she definitely seemed to hear it (poor kitty; apologise to her and give her some love from me). Possibly she's deaf for lower frequencies though.
Incidentally it's Diwali on Thursday, so it'll all start up again.
Fortunately I love fireworks.
