Should Cape Town Ban Guy Fawkes?

I’m sitting here working on my PC with my cat laying pretty much on my keyboard. He is clearly still a bit shaken after last night’s Guy Fawkes blasts from Maiden’s Cove, Clifton. Last night after seeing complaint after complaint on twitter from local residents, it made me wonder how this still actually gets past our anal rate payers association? I am all for the awesome fireworks, but I feel it should be regulated and only allowed when actual organised shows are created. Back in the days we could go to Kroenendal School in Hout Bay for an awesome event which included dops, chicks and sick fireworks displays!

Cape Town has 8 area’s in which one can go let of fireworks at will, not to mention the fact they could be drunk/stoned and let them off into the crowd… Like what happened at Maiden’s Cove last night! Many people have told me that idiotic muppets actually did fire some off directly into bystanders! I know if someone let fireworks off into my group of mates, all Hell would break loose. Not to mention the amount of pets that are affected by the blasts well into the early hours of the morning? So I ask you, should The City Of Cape Town ban Guy Fawkes, or re-look at how we celebrate this otherwise awesome event?

        LOL … I don’t usually bother to correct typos etc, but I wasn’t sure your definition of `fireworks’…

        so far so good thanks, you?

    Was this a deliberate typo in this line
    “it made me wonder how this still actually gets past our anal rate payers association? ”

    ==> `anal’ rate payers association … sounds like the fireworks went too far …
