Inside, outside, leave me alone!

Fucking wankbastard pissmonkey neighbours have been letting off sodding fireworks every fucking night for a week now. Tonight's performance is a. coming from somewhere within 100 yards of the flats and b. includes a lot of those shrill whistling screeching ones - which means I'm typing this with a distraught collie in my lap. And it's going to

Oh God, the fireworks! When I was a girl, we let off fireworks on Nov 5th, and that was it! And now it goes on for months. Little fuckers. Trying to housetrain my puppies three years ago at this time of year was a nightmare - we'd be in the graden, me encouraging them to go, and then a banger would go off and they'd leg it for the house, terrified. Now all they do is rush outside barking everytime they hear one, which is trying enough.

When I rule the world, fireworks will be illegal except on certain specified national holidays. Let 'em off any other time and it'd be banger up the arse time.

I'm glad the other stuff is sorted out...

I'm voting for you to rule the world any damn time now. Can I be Minister for Worldly Pleasures?

[carmine_rose]

I can't think of a better person to do it!

I forgot to mention... the banger up the arse is also for anyone who does that sort of thing to stray animals at this time of year.

[lizblackdog]

That goes without saying. And I'll happily be the one to light the blue touch paper, too.

[carmine_rose]

So that's Ministry of Pleasures and Ministry of Correction I can put you down for, then?

Heh. There's a world of funny in that.

[lizblackdog]

Not to mention appropriate :-D

It just got even better - I took the pair of them out for a piss, and a big green one went off right over our heads. Spike decided it must be Squish's fault - he was closest. Luckily Squish has learned how to do proper submission signals now or I'd have had a dogfight on my hands.

So now I have two upset dogs. Bah.

[carmine_rose]

My dogs totally do that when they're pissed off with something other than each other. But none of them feel submissive, so it ususally involves me wading in shouting.

[lizblackdog]

Heh, that's terriers for you - Squish isn't an especially submissive dog himself, but he understands the concept of a chain of command. Besides, Spike scares the piss out of him when he's angry.
