Bloody Morrisons are selling loud fireworks at half price. My dog has

Wasn't there some legislation proposed regarding public sale of loud
"bangers"?
Can't see anyone doing anything about it except in the most extreme
cases - whatever the legislation.
I used to quite like the big display done by Round Table where I lived.
Seemed to satisfy most people and was far more spectacular than anything
you can buy from a shop. But now, I find them boring and annoying.
As a kid we used to play with bangers - but after a friend had one
shoved up his shirt, that burn was enough to turn me away from careless
playing.
Life's no fun without risks.

An old black-and-white photograph of a man milking a cow was sent to a photo-finishing company.
The man was sitting behind the cow, and all that was visible of him were his legs and feet.
A note accompanying the order read: "This is the only picture I have of my great grandfather. Please move the cow so I can see what he looked like."
