I love the way the police try and encourage people to go to organised events when nearly all the local events have been cancelled due to a rise in insurance costs

I was reluctantly dragged to a local one and it was surprisingly good - when it started. Had to endure 20 minutes of ear-splittingly loud Cascada-style music first though, and the world's most annoying announcer. It was nearly worth it though.

Yeah black on white violence is funny. If it was the other way round the PC brigade would be going crazy. </BLOCKQUOTE>

have I missed something here, or are you assuming that the kids Fred_the_Red mentioned are black?

Yeah, exact same here, used to go to the one in the village near me, insurance costs stopped it. The went to the lovely one in town, insurance costs stopped it.

And Ned, focus on the word "crackers".

I was making a hilarious joke with the dual meaning of cracker, where it could be a derogatory term that black people call white people.

The fire engines have went past my house at least three times this evening. Someone's having fun.

we went to the big 'best in the west' firework sow in kilmarnock - was pretty decent.
loved all the tunes...
themes to james bond, war of the worlds (original of course), superman and Star Wars, as well as Carl orff (Carmina Burana) and a couple of others.

Done nothing for bonfire night, its generally rubbish. Just sat at home, had a full bottle of advocaat (again) and will shortly be helping my housemate make her bed.

there have been way more the last few nights than there have been tonight which is quite strange.
