I was just reminiscing that this time last year I was sitting at my computer while my idiot neighbours in Kingstanding were setting off fireworks in their gardens that were exploding outside my window. And then a few minutes later my previously not so idiotic seeming neighbours started setting off fireworks in their gardens which, given that I’m in the attic, really are exploding right outside my window. Which is, you know, fucking scary and everything.
I’m really not looking forward to the bike ride to Moseley in, ooh, half an hour…


This part of Oxford (Headington) reminds me of the TV sound watching the invasion of Iraq. Och well, a good improvement this in terms of range.
why do people living in built up areas think it is a good idea to fire a long point stick with a firework attached 100ft into the air? Do they prehaps think it will float off harmlessly into space, rather than falling into a neighbours garden.
