Pyromania

Now that Halloween is over for another year, we're immediately into the next 'season' that used, in my youth, to be a one day production, namely 'fireworks week', or Bonfire Night, as it used to be called. Rather than remembering November 5, Guy Fawkes, and all that, the pyrotechnic bonanza now lasts at least a week - I've seen adverts for organised events relatively locally beginning tonight and continuing until at least next Saturday. A real fireworks afficionado could probably find a display to go to every night in the interim, quite apart from the 'back garden' displays that many people still seem to want to undertake. Each to their own, of course, but I'm afraid I view fireworks as the literal embodiment of 'money going up in smoke'. Still, it keeps the sheeple happy for a day or two, so, no doubt, the government view it as a useful distraction from their incompetence.

Love & best wishes to all

  1. I saw where some clown had fireworks in his £65 million mansion's bathroom, and some other clown lit them...£4 million in damages later! HAHAHAHAHA

    1. Hello Jay
      That's one expensive firework display! There were quite a few (hopefully safer) displays in evidence on my way to work last night, but it might be a little quieter this evening if things stay as they are - it's absolutely pelting down with rain!

      Love & best wishes
