Advanced moan about Halloween, Bonny Night and Poppy Day in that order?

Thought I'd get it out of the way in a one-er then I can sit back and look forwards to having a right good old tick about Christmas then.

Halloween first out of the blocks; amount of tat in the shops just to "amuse kids" ffs. Carving pumpkins, pumpkin carving kits, haunted doormats, pipe cleaner witches cats, ghost uniforms, the entire country has gone stark raving mad. Shoving 8kg of refined sugar down kids traps is not in their best interests at all, it's nothing short of organised child abuse. Also, what you are basically doing is instilling a begging culture in them as well no wonder the streets are awash with dossers. Hopefully when BoJo or JerCor gets in they'll banish this ridiculous yank frippery for once and for all.

Bonny Night: Do not let fireworks off in your garden you selfish anti-social dickwad, go to an organised display instead. what's that you say? "but I live near an organised display and I don't like the tumultuous racket, inconsiderate parking and attendent s**tload of rubbish the fithy f**king unwashed public leave behind" tough s**t mate, move house if you don't like it or go live in Southern Ireland.

Remembrance Day. Don't be carping on and on about it, it's not for YOU and if it doesn't concern you then keep your wizzened beak out or f**k off to the Afghan and sign up for the Taliban, they are always recruiting.

Coming soon... St Paddy's day 🇮🇪☘️🍻😜
