Random Irritations

Guys I have removed a number of posts regarding the New Years Honours List
Some people have made comments based on a political viewpoint about a particular recipient,

Some of the claims were also potentially libelous.

No more please
 
On the honours system as it currently works…for me for many recipients Burns had words of contempt…The rank is but the guinea‘s stamp; The man’s the gowd for a‘ that.

More bloody fireworks - and its the large explosive ones today.
The ones that send cats and dogs up the wall.
The sooner they ban the sale to the general public the better.:mad:

Fireworks can do one

I get it was new year's last night but it was like an air raid from 11:45 until 01:00

Non stop
 
Anyone can nominate someone else for an award.

Am late to the party on this one, but I was very surprised reading a list of the people who have turned down an award. We had a guy in Mansfield called “ Mr Splash”. He was a clown and earned thousands for charity. He turned down the award because he was not offered one when his wife was alive. He believed she was the driving force behind him.
 
With you on that. They are really a kids thing for bonfire night.
How and when ....and why....they got into New Year, ?
Even that's a corruption of the 'original bonfire night' celebration!
Fireworks are simply a way to celebrate 'special occasions', which vary from country to country. But New Year is a pretty general one, as demonstrated by displays in many countries last night.
