fuctifino posted:I don't think words on paper matter anymore. My guess is that they are conditioning the gammon into accepting sanctions for breaking the NI protocol among other Brexit conditions, and labelling it up as though it is us who are in control or something. The same rumour goes around here too (Bradford) so I guess it makes sense that it makes it as far as Keighley too. No clue if there's any truth whatsoever to it but I know Bradford does have a lot of drug use, and random fireworks at all times of the year

Have you ever tried to track down even a full-on fireworks display? You can say definitely that it's somewhere over there, but streets have an inconvenient habit of not heading directly over there. The only people it could work for as a signal are people within a few hundred metres, and it seems like walking around saying "You holding?" is a slightly more subtle way of checking stock than looking out for showers of sparkles and stars. (The reason for random fireworks outside of November and December are teenagers, for individual rockets and bangers, and birthday parties for bigger displays, by the way)

We've had people setting off fireworks round here to gently caress with each other. Petty, mean drama like someone finally deciding their mate should gently caress off and find somewhere else to sleep other than the sofa. So the ex-mate takes it really well and sets off one of those 50-in-1 firework barrages outside their door.

It's going to end up like that trainers-over-wires urban legend, where so many people end up believing it that eventually dealers start doing it. Expect detailed but fictional memes describing how the type of firework correlates to the substance on offer, except a Catherine Wheel which means "they're onto us, flush everything now" and explains why the police have never been able to catch these brazen criminals in the act.

My dog was a little stressed out by them but reacted the way she did to all stress - sitting at the top of the stairs, which put her as far as possible from any window or door and so the most peaceful place in the house (also the hot water pipes ran under there so it was always warm). For a massive idiot she really was pretty smart. My cat however - once he gets over the resentment of being woken up by them - just seems to want to watch them out of the window. In fact all of my family's pets - even my niece's chihuahua - are pretty chill about fireworks. I wonder if that's just because every human in the family loves fireworks so they just have to learn to deal with them.

What's actually going to be outlawed? "it will be illegal to convince someone to change their sexuality or gender identity" but not to change their presentation to match their gender identity, right? There's a way of reading this that outlaws all the "no your gender identity is just something made up" terfery but not Mermaids, and it all depends in which angles it is pushed. Is there going to be anything in there about medically coercing infants into binary gender?

If the poster (on reddit) is that curious, why not get hold of the land registry title document for the property and see how many changes of ownership there have been? https://www.gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry keep punching joe posted:My cat grew up on the streets of Govanhill, fireworks do not faze her one iota. One time I came home about 11pm after an after-work do and through the front door heard my vacuum cleaner going. Weird. "At last" I thought to myself, "my mother has turned up unexpectedly and is vacuuming my flat like normal mothers do" (I was about 35 at the time and just about everyone I knew my age had mothers who turned up randomly and cleaned their homes - mine never did). When I got in, the vacuum cleaner was in the doorway between kitchen and living room (where I probably left it a few days earlier), on, and my two cats about 6 months old at the time cowering in terror in the kitchen. One of them must have stood on the rocker switch and turned it on accidentally - no idea how long they'd been cowering in there!
