More fireworks. Give me strength.Still , probably the brightest light I've seen today.#Glasgow

@emsquared one went off outside our flat just after 2pm, what the actual?
-
@emsquared under my benevolent dictatorship fireworks will be banned entirely.
They are absolutely hellish for animals (both pets and wild ones) and for a lot of people too. Someone's wish to watch something go boom does not override other's right not to be traumatised.
I'll consider allowing tasteful laser shows along with bonfires.
For my next decree... people who don't thank bus drivers shall be added to aforementioned bonfires.

@spytfyre It's a curious modern tradition. I'd really rather spend the money on cake whilst shouting "I'm eating some cake.Woooo".
But obviously that's just me. -

@renegaderich @emsquared They're going off down here in North Yorkshire too. Did I miss something?

@renegaderich These sound like sensible policies for a better world (i'd also add people who are rude and snarky to supermarket checkout staff. Crap job, crap pay and they have to put up with a stream of mostly miserable buggers).
You have my vote (though it's a dictatorship so..er...my vote is invalid. Anyway I for one welsome your benign dictatoring. -
@renegaderich @LaserdiscTurtle They easily stopped the public being able to buy fireworks in Australia & nobody moaned. Here it's all "well we should but we won't or it'll just be half-hearted" (or like Glasgow the council messed up the very microregional ban for this year by forgetting to submit the paperwork in time. Muppets)

@renegaderich @LaserdiscTurtle This needs to be an album title *now*
-
@emsquared I'd listen to that! A prog metal opera perhaps @LaserdiscTurtle?
-
@renegaderich @LaserdiscTurtle I see heavily amplified washboards and kazoo featuring heavily.
-
@renegaderich @emsquared dear benevolent overload, can I please keep my silent fireworks please?

@LordOfTheGeeks @renegaderich oooh the firework equivalent of lab grown meat. Interesting dilemma.
-
@emsquared @renegaderich perfect metaphor.
Just please no trying to eat fireworks!
-
@LordOfTheGeeks @renegaderich Spoilsport.
-
@emsquared Not just you. I now also want to eat cake and say woooo.
-
@spytfyre This is good. Pass it on. Cake is like the new fireworks.
-
@emsquared passing on is slow, should attach rockets to the cake and fire it at people. The explosions just mean it will get in their mouths faster when they're first gaping at the spectacle of airborne cake.
-
@spytfyre This is precisely what cruise missiles *should* be used for. Firing cake in hungry mouths. Cake not war.
