They're at it again! Bloody fireworks!!

[prestonchipfryer]

Here there is a firework display a week after Bonfire Night. The people who organise it are actually proud of it. Noisy bastards.

There's nothing wrong with festivals and firework displays John, carried out in moderation, with due consent (and consideration) given to those living nearby, for whom the subsequent noise may cause some distress. Frightened animals, for example, are a major consideration.

That's the key word here: consideration and also respect for other people's rights, other than your own. In this instance, someone's right to peace and quiet, and for their pets not to cower in fear under beds, because of explosions loud enough to make the windows in the house rattle, as well as someone's right to 'party'...

Let's not forget too, that some of the noise associated with the 'Diwali celebrations' is simply due to brainless morons, who just like making a noise, being given a good excuse!!

These are the same folk who started setting off fireworks at the beginning of the month, for no reason other than being a bloody nuisance, because greedy shopkeepers have put them on sale far too early!

And it's *that* behaviour, and those idiots, which I abhor, not the folk legitimately (and quite rightly) celebrating a Hindu festival.

We all have to share the space available on this planet, so we need to learn to do it in peace and in harmony with our fellow man, not just selfishly 'doing what the hell we like', because we think we're entitled to, regardless of the impact it has on others.

As an aside, the same thing is also a major problem on forums (and in real life), and it's largely to do with the misplaced and selfish 'sense of entitlement' folk have these days!

A PA system like that wouldn't compete Marco. Look at this. Taken earlier!

That's just what I can see from an upstairs window. It's like it all round.

And, it's still going strong now!!

This is one dodgy link - all I got was porn on my phone and on Windows.

No a brand new Dell laptop had it for 2 days, not really setup but is is running a virus checker. No warnings. Just porn.

[Marco]

Ok, then you need to set it up properly so that won't happen... That's one of the advantages of using a Mac, as most adware and virus software is written for PCs.

Yeah... porn leaders for me.

Nope, none of that here. The video just played, although only within a small section of a page that was otherwise adorned with ads.

I didn't even read them, just watched the video.

BTW my respect for Apple is at an all time low with respect to the iPhone X. It is a total rip off hardware and accessory wise. And the face recognition stuff is a definite invasion of privacy in the wrong direction.
