With Diwali then Guy Fawkes it can be like down town Bahgdad during the gulf war around here for two weeks - day and night. The poor cat has been growling on and off for the last 3 hours. Eventually she gets used to the bangs but forgets it's all OK by the next year!

Perhaps you are thinking of something else? Diwali this year fell on October 28th although I believe there are 5 days of party! If I'm wrong apologies, please correct me - always ready to learn!
I had never heard of 'Imbolc' so had a bit of a google. Another case of christians subduing (?) the locals by adapting the indigenous belief and practise (Imbolc to candlemas?)
Reading more, it sounds a lovely celebration - Just what you need ar the beginning of February

I don't know who is worse on this issue - the selfish, brain dead neighbours buying display quality fireworks and setting them off in the back gardens of modern estate homes or the money grabbing importers and sellers who sell huge fireworks without knowing or caring where they are being set off.
If the industry can't self regulate - it's time for a change.
Some moron set off a huge exploding sky rocket at 3am Sunday morning. It was so loud it set off car alarms.
I only wish I knew who set it off - I'd love to pay them a visit and explain my feelings in great detail...............Last edited by Johnny Appleseed; 04-11-2008, 09:31 PM.

I personally love a good firework display and enjoy fireworks on the 5th. However, as a horse/dog/cat/rabbit/guinea pig/chicken owner they become a nuisance when exploited beyond a set night that I can strictly monitor and protect my animals against - one cannot sedate a dog for 2 weeks!.
