and then?

time for a wee break...

i'd call for some bi stats but there's probably no point. there's not been enough drivel to make much of a difference.

Quite.

The drivel seems to be very thin. And runny.

[BrowneIssue]

Orion's back - the constellation, not the car

Good point. Is Orion facing us, or facing away from us? We cannot see Orion's belt buckle, so perhaps he's facing away.

There's nothing wrong with turnips.

Unless you are using them to comb your hair.

In the early hours of the morning on 27th November 2007 Diver and BrowneIssue were having a conversation, but this wasn't one of Diver's long stories.

Ah, those were the days.

I mean, nights.

[BrowneIssue]

It seems that there are severe restrictions on who can buy fireworks and when in this country.

Quite right too. I'd ban the buggers, other than for organised displays.

[BrowneIssue]

And it would seem some people want to see them banned altogether.

That'll be me, then.

You can blame Blue Peter and all those warnings they used to give us about how dangerous fireworks are.

Bumpity bum. diddley di de doh.

[BrowneIssue]

I don't know what people who would like to light fireworks at other times of year such as Diwali or the Chinese New Year are supposed to do.

Organised displays.

If you cannot find enough other people to participate, then why subject everyone else to the noise, stench and broken greenhouse glass (from falling rockets)?
