Why half the Akaroa locals today are in a bad mood

[Hads]

We had some idiots using fireworks roughly every 40 mins till about 4:30am this morning, despite several visits from police and noise control. Needless to say lots of locals have some colourful ways of dealing with them.

Their excuses

1) It's Guy Fawkes (Despite it not being the 5th)
2) I can do what I like
3) It's Akaroa

Needless to say it is going to be a challenging day, if they do the same tonight my self control will be gone, thinking of hiding noise making devices in their house that beep at random intervals, so they can feel sleep deprivation against their will.

Rant over (Topic of thread suggests Rants are wanted)

Ring the cops and say you hear gunshots. If everyone did this the law would change real fast.

...or take the gun around and make some bangs...that would also have some kind of effect...

[Akzle]

yeah... to increase the penalties for falsifying a report. :tugger:

Oh I dunno. Heard some bangs this arvo while in the shed that may have been fireworks or may have been a mass shooter. How is someone with little or no experience with guns supposed to know? Obviously I didn't call the cops as the chances of it being a mas shooter is next to nothing, but I am sure if some anti fireworks fwits started calling the cops every time they heard explosive sounds the cops would get sick of responding very fast. And they have to respond.

while i completely agree that we should all waste as much police time as possible (it's a public service, because while they're dealing with you they're not issuing traffic infringements to others) i disagree with your crying wolf about firearms.

Didn't say i would do it, or agree with it. Was just musing about what would happen if the anti fireworks folk (probably a high proportion of cyclists) started doing it.

What about the other half? What makes them so moody?

How's the weather on your planet?

You've never been to Akaroa have you?

[awayatc]

Thought so.

[GazzaH]

I have but not for ages, since before the quakes.

I remember the French people there. They seemed quite pleasant, not moody at all. Well, let's say I've known many moodier Frenchies, Parisians in particular.

Perhaps it was the quakes that turned 'em, as well as the fireworks at 4:30am.

...I beg to differ...I bred some whistlers last year in our new pond and they are back for their second season...they are quite sweet little things...the tadpoles came from a pond just past Akaroa too...

[R650R]

Just remember we never had this before Clarkinist Regime panicked people into hoarding fireworks with threats of bans. Also coinciding with the lowering of drinking age and anti smacking its a perfect firestorm of nuisance created be the neo liberal left PC do gooders.
And stop with throwing fuel on the anti gun bonfire (sic).... Cops down here awhile ago dealt to a tosser who was the only person in crowded neighbour hood to call in a starters pistol at school athletics comp as a gunshot....
Yeah we have odd idiots here too, but loud parties and loitering teen hoodies are worse issue all year round in suburbia

[Swoop]

yeah well cyclists can fuck right off too

Gotta wonder about that muslim knob-jockey in Murica recently, running over cyclists.
Should he be punished or given an award for flattening the lycra-clad tosspot brigade?
