Hay just wondering who got plans for the New Year’s Eve. I am hoping to spend it with my boyfriend over his have a take away or cook a nice meal and eat cupcakes all night or if that’s not an option I am hoping to go get drunk over my friends house and eat Chinese all night. What’s everyone else up to?
Fireworks are worse in Canada. Where every event is an excuse to use them.
The Tragically Hip even had a song called Fireworks.
I feel bad for animals on nights when fireworks are used. No one ever thinks of how it affects our furry friends
I️ hope your dog won't be too badly affected Pegg. Hopefully it will pour all night. I'm in luck at the moment, it's still raining and it's heavy rain right now.
Yes it's raining now - fingers crossed it stays that way!
I’m totally shocked as well, as the Irish government has totally lost the plot snd there are a lot of complicated reasons for this, but it’s doubly tragic given Irish history - it seems as if they are taking no chances and are adopting a zero tolerance policy where policing and law enforcement is concerned - like what Desmond has said, I think Ireland is becoming a police state
Sadly I agree, even though Westminster has abandoned the North in a most shameful fashion, where the North has been far saner than the South - as a Catholic and an Irish Patriot, where I have extended family in Co Meath, I’m deeply saddened by the situation there since my last visit home in October 2022 and I’m also terrified for my family’s safety - I’m dreading getting that call to say that they have all been murdered by the police (Gardai) and/or the Army, as our security services are totally corrupt and out of control
My dog is very frightened by fireworks, I worry about him, and it's not good for me either.
It depends round here, it's very rural, but, there's a big holiday let nearby, and sometimes people staying do let off fireworks.
Bonfire night was awful this year
This is why I want Northern Ireland to remain in the Union.
The South is undergoing Martial Law.
IrishInManchesterUK said:Irish Army being called out this year, complete with snipers posted on high ground and on top of high buildings
Oh wow
what do they think people are going to be doing?! /rh
I’ll be staying in, going to bed early - it’s too dangerous to go out in Manchester or any other U.K. Cities - I’ve heard from family in Ireland that just like last New Years Eve, armed police were preventing any New Year’s Eve celebrations from taking place in Dublin and other Irish cities and towns but in the wake of the Dublin riots, this is going to be massively stepped up, with the Irish Army being called out this year, complete with snipers posted on high ground and on top of high buildings
That’s a very long name, no wonder you shorten it to Ali!
Her full name is Alicia Zebra-mouse Jacklyn Zag Potato Dyra Alisium (and last name) but we just call her Ali or Alibae
Weather Warning:
Onesies at Tesco.
Lovely photo! What is your dog’s name?
There was definitely less around November the 5th this year. And last New Years was quieter than the previous had been. I'm not going to bed early and being woken though. I will wait for them to stop and then go to bed.
I live on the outskirts of a town but I still hear the fireworks. Hopefully thanks to the cost there will be a lot less, it's also raining again so that might stop it, though last couple of years it's been wet and they still do it so I think they might be waterproof. Lol.
There is a weather warning where I live for 'frequent heavy showers', so the great British weather may ride to the rescue!
I live in the suburbs, so it's almost a dead certainty that there will be here. I think there will be less due to the Cost Of Living crisis.
Fingers crossed there won't be. I use my noise cancelling headphones if the fireworks get too loud.
Good point. I forgot about that. I best stay up till Midnight, just in case.
Hoping there won't be fireworks..
