Torchwood
How many of you tuned in last night to watch the Torchwood double bill?...
Fantastic! thats one word...spooky, funny, intense could be others, how well written was that show!! well done to Russel T Davies for bringing such an imaginitive show to the UK screens...heavily inspired by Joss Whedons Buffy and Angel seasons ( Davies own words ), brilliant make up and effects - Can't wait for next weeks show! Oh and if you missed it and want to get it on DVD, the first part will be available from the 26/12/06 :) Oh and did you know - Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who? :)

It was a night of laughter in this house last night, few friends round - Torchwood and a film called - The Longest yard, if you hav'nt seen this, then I suggest you watch it. Adam Sandler is again at his comic best with a great supporting cast which includes - Burt Reynolds, "Stonecold" Steve Austin, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Chris Rock and a host of other great actors, one to tickle your funny bone!
Now a gripe...
Yesterday afternoon, the house 2 doors down from us decided to start letting fireworks off from about 5pm in the back garden...you might think that this is fine, but the gardens are not very big, the people concerned had been drinking all afternoon and were being very silly about lighting them...so anyway it all subsided, until 7pm when it started again, no consideration to the fact that kids were in bed, in fact one of the bangs was so loud that it woke up some of the kids several doors down, and they were all screaming and crying....the last firework that went up, bounced off the guttering, slammed back down to their garden and exploded practically in the house....with kids inside....and the attitude was ( when they were told by their partners to stop being stupid ), "I'm 24, I don't give a fuck, stop moaning" etc etc etc....well sorry pal, but had any of the kids in the house been hurt by that firework, then I think you damn well would "give a fuck", or at least the police would be making you eat those words...Why Fireworks are sold before November 4th is beyond me!!!! It encourages childish behaviour with them, I know it sounds harsh, but I wish one of them had gotten their hand blown off, or one in the eye....stupid bastards!
Rant over...
And now this...
Strange But True:- In Tokyo, they sell toupees for dogs!

It was a great night... I know I was there. Hadn't made the connection with torchwood though, that is cool... had to be intended. Russel T. Davis is a very clever guy.
Those fireworks didn't just affect you mate, one of them landed in my backgarden... the rabbit had kittens (wow, that's one for the science books). Irresponsible idiots.
I agree that firework sales should be severly restricted, and I think everyone should need a police issued permit before being allowed to buy them. This permit should only be issued after the buyer has passed various checks, and shown an understanding of the dangers of fireworks, and proved that he/she can use them safely. We do it with firearms in this country, and other explosives (you can't walk into your local newsagent and buy a lump of plastic explosive or a stick of dynamite) so why should this not be applied to fireworks. There are plenty of organised displays so why can't people go to these.
Another aspect is the cost, a small box of fireworks will cost you £10 and the upper end is unlimited. Judging by the amount of fireworks going off your neighbour must have spent close to £100 on them. Why? Could that money not have been used on better things, like the children, christmas, or better quality food for the family.
Personally I haven't bought fireworks for the last two years as I feel they are too expensive, and too unpredictable to be considered 'safe'. This year, as previously, we will have a wonderful fireworks display, watching evrybody elses as they fly skyward. Hotdogs, burgers and fizzy pop will be for tea and the kids will thoroughly enjoy the nights (plural as there is more than one night when people set them off) and they will also have a better christmas for it as we would not have wasted money on a few bangs and bright lights. Long live the fools who squander their cash on our entertainment.
