I can understand the annoyance of having to listen to them every night for a couple of weeks.
Luckily I live in the middle of nowhere so only hear the major firework displays on Nov 5th and New Years Eve.
I agree that, seeing as the amount of injuries is still high every year, that people should have to apply for a licence before purchasing a small explosive device !!!
My roots are about 2 miles down the road from where I live now.
My dad's family are local - from a small village called Highway, which doesn't really exist anymore. They also come from, and I spent a lot of my childhood running around, Compton Bassett.
The shame is most of the villages around here have been taken over by city-folk, so now when you walk down the lanes the houses are surrounded by high fences and security cameras.
My mum comes from Wales and I think that, after visiting "The Valleys", that's where I get my rude streak from. Some of those Welsh people are so far up their own arses it's scary !!
To be honest, I don't really care where I am as long as it's not in a city !!
Just to let you all know, seeing as I received some very nice emails from you asking me to stay then I thought I would hang around for a little while longer.
Well, that and the fact my original leaving thread got pulled so I guess some of you didn't even know I was planning on leaving !!
Now lets see if I can put a smile on some faces !!
I have felt this as my ex-significant other is in the military and would spend time away.
The pain to the heart is a clenching feeling, like a woman with sharp nails suddenly grabbing and squeezing. This would occur when I would find myself thinking of him, or I would smell him, even if someone walked past me on the street wearing the same aftershave.
The exact opposite is felt when something good happened, like turning up at my work with a huge bunch of white roses and lilies to help me forget that it should have been my 10th wedding anniversary. It would feel like my heart was glowing inside my chest !!
Develop deep vein thrombosis, come off the pill, spend three months on intensive drug therapy during which the appetite diminishes and no alcohol is allowed.
I was an ugly 6 stone by then end of it !!!!
Luckily I am now a healthy 8 stone and reasonably happy with my small wobbly bits !!!!
