Not too political or funny.

As someone who suffer from occasional bouts of tinnitus I understand how some may feel but I still found this funny

Why do all these celebrations have to happen earlier and earlier? We had fireworks nearby last night and my dog is still under the Christmas tree shaking like a leaf.

Diwali? Might not have been for bonfire night

Which celebrations ?

This week gone it’s been Diwali which would be a lot of the fireworks over the past week

Around here the villages are competing for the attractions (hog roasts, bands, etc.) & people through the gates; some did fireworks around 26th October

, and there'll be others around the 9th Nov.

Always the same when the 5th is midweek, displays are often at the weekend either side

Did the poppy stall yesterday in ASDA. Had a fantastic time. Met a guy who is on shore leave. He works on submarines. He asked where me and the other guy served. My pal says “ oh we are both ex coal miners”. Submarine guy said “ I couldn’t do that I am claustrophobic”. Me and my pal looked at one another grinning our heads off “ my pal says you spend six months on a submarine and you’re claustrophobic”. We all had a good laugh.

What I will say is I must be getting old. I looked at him and he was around 25 yr old with a wife and a young kid. He looked a skinny young waif of a guy but very confident. He did say it’s tough on his wife being away on 6 months patrol, but the forces send her hampers etc and keep her up to date. He made me laugh saying when they were in USA all the guys on the sub went out over a few nights and were absolutely hammered. He was asleep in the ditch bottom and the police were asked to keep an eye on the submariners and take them back to base. Apparently he spent 10 mins trying to give a $20 tip to the taxi driver. It was the police. He did say his sub is now in the “ shed” for maintenance. Lovely guy.
