    My house is under attack from fireworks..not fun

    I just got back in from a halloween thing and as we are walking back to my house we see a streak of gold in the air and then a huge bang about 200ft from me.

    My group of flats are across the streat from a travelers (gypsy) camp and this is the time of year where it is too damn easy to get fireworks in the UK. Well, these jackasses are aiming their fireworks at our flats. In the time it took me to get to our lift and down the balcony to my door two fireworks actually landed on other people's balconies and went off. Then when we got into the house the place right next door to mine had atleast five land one after another and go off in a major way.

    Thank god these places are concrete and not wood. I already have an irrational fear of fireworks that stems back from early childhood without having them actually aimed at my house.

    I just called the police..who knows if they will actually do anything.

    You have used words like flat and lift.
    America has offically lost you.

            Its been like that here for the last 2 weeks.

            It should be Nov 5th and thats it - none before and none after.

            Fucking 3 or 4 am and they are at it. The post box down the road has been burnt out twice already as well.... little fuckers need locking up.

              I try to say apartment and elevator when I am back home..though for some reason when I am here I call money dollars but when I am back in the States I call it pounds.

                Damn right I did..when someone is aiming explosives at your house what would you do? These aren't little crackers.

                  Totally agree..at this rate they are stocking piling them and it will be like this until New Years.

                      The best thing to do is wait until signing on day (welfare day) when the "tarmac cacers" are all out then just go over the road and set fire to their caravans. Those things go up like tinderboxes and ends the problem straight away.

                        I feel bad for the horses they have over there. They must have been hating that noise. I heard the police around the neighborhood after I called but I have no idea what happened. I do know that I spent part of my morning scrapping baked beans off my windows.

                          Yeah...that really would make me the talk of the town.

                          It will be even worse this weekend.

                            This is one of those times when strict gun laws have failed you.

                            If that happened here, you could walk out on your balcony and start randomly firing at the gypsy camp until it stopped. As a matter of fact, if I had a camp of gypsies living across from me, I'd probably fire at them even if they weren't shooting fireworks. I've seen the Dateline undercover specials... those people steal way too much shit.

                              The flaw in that is that they would all have guns too.

                                actually, they probably do have a gun or two. Gun crimes are on the rise in the UK

                                    Yeah, I was thinking that as I typed it. It must be due for its annual drug raid, anyway.

                                          the gypsies in Paris will steal yer fucking socks

                                          Often times I wonder why
                                          There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                          When sickness comes I must decide:
                                          When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                            That sucks Sarah. When I was younger some kids aimed fireworks at our apartment. We called the cops and they visited us. After like 5min they started again, the cops took these punks red-handed

                                                  For americans, this is hard to imagine. Gypsies? horses? camp? We do not have anything like that here.

                                                        I livein the city...yet, sometimes I wake up and they have put a horse on the grass in front of my apartment block to let it graze. Not land they own or pay rent on, of course.

                                                            nothing was visibly on fire...I was more interested in getting them to stop. They were doing it again last night. It is only going to get worse this week.

                                                                        My group of flats are across the streat from a travelers (gypsy) camp and this is the time of year where it is too damn easy to get fireworks in the UK. Well, these jackasses are aiming their fireworks at our flats. In the time it took me to get to our lift and down the balcony to my door two fireworks actually landed on other people's balconies and went off. Then when we got into the house the place right next door to mine had atleast five land one after another and go off in a major way.

                                                                        Thank god these places are concrete and not wood. I already have an irrational fear of fireworks that stems back from early childhood without having them actually aimed at my house.

                                                                        I just called the police..who knows if they will actually do anything.
