Guy Fawkes

Remember, Remember

The 5th of November

(or maybe just forget about it altogether)

I can stand this holiday.  It has no purpose whatsoever!  I've written about it on my blog before HERE and HERE.  Its something I feel passionate about and it makes me blood boil.

Just don't do it!  There is no point!

Remember, Remember the 5th of November!

Yip its Guy Fawkes today which marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, in London, United Kingdom.

Another holiday that is mildly celebrated in South Africa and for this I’m glad because I can’t stand uncontrolled fireworks being set off in domestic areas.  No, let me rephrase that - I fucking HATE fireworks being set off in residential areas!!!


It frightens our poor animals and it scares the kids half to death. Its so unnecessary and it really really fucking pisses me off. It makes me so angry that I’m willing to go up to anyone in our area that is setting off fireworks and tell them where to get off. 

It is, after all, illegal in our country to set of fireworks in a domestic residence without a permit. 

Yip, I’m that old haggy Bitch in the neighbourhood that pisses on everyone’s battery when it comes to fireworks.

I detest it and I will call the cops on your skinny asses.  I'm not the shy reserved type when it comes to this.

Now just to set the record straight, I’m not normally a party pooper when it comes to loud music, parties and noise polution but fireworks really gets my frikken goat going. There is NO point to it whatsoever.

I have no problem with a controlled display far, far away from our pets and kids.  I actually love to watch a huge fireworks display, which find it quite awesome and romantic.  But if you're going to be setting off your piddly annoying fireworks near my kids and near my pets, I’m the one who’ll be reporting you to the local authorities.

So don’t push me, Fuckers!

Build a Bonfire but don’t shoot your lame ass fireworks – its just annoying.

Remember to make sure your pets are locked away safely and that your children have their ears plugs in.

I know I'll be sleeping with two sobbing girls tonight.

Guy Fawkes

When we were little this is the little rhyme that we used to sing...

"Remember, Remember the 5th of November!"

I'D RATHER JUST FORGET IT!

I despise it more and more each year!!

The poor pets in the neighbourhood go absolutely mogging and the kids are frightenened by it all too.

What the hell is the point exactly?

Hey! I have no problem with firework displays in a controlled and organised environment - far away from pets and kids delicate and sensitive ears but why do people still insist in setting off stupid fireworks in their back gardens or in the streets of residential areas???

WTF is the kick???

Its seems like its not only Guy Fawkes but New Years Eve, Christmas and any frikken occassion as an excuse to set off fireworks in our area.

I just don't see the point...perhaps I'm missing it entirely???

I wish I could do something to those who set off fireworks in our area...isn't it illegal??
