Dismember, dismember the 5th of November

Fucking fireworks. I hate them. Always have done. Can't understand why people would want to go and stand in a muddy field on a cold November night and get neck-ache experiencing some sparks and bangs. It's just chemical reactions, people! Wooh! Magnesium! Wooah! Titanium! Wahey! Phosporous! Even more ridiculous is the notion of having your own fireworks party - just like a public display, only it's about one tenth as impressive and half of the bastards don't even go off properly anyway. I'd advocate the outright banning of sales of domestic fireworks if it wasn't for the fact that bootlegged ones would be even more dangerous, noisy and intrusive.

Guess I'll just have to sit here, be patient and wait for it all to pass for another year.

Thanks Guy Fawkes, you mad Catholic bastard.
