Post by DelP »

Hi folks,

Well, it's that time of year again and tonight is the Bridgwater carnival, the largest lit carnival in Europe.

Click the promo film link to see what it's all about ;)

If it's not raining later I'll pop out and get some pics :lol:

ATB,

Fireworks started here on Halloween....looks like the festivals are moving: Xmas trees are being sold in August :lol:

For anyone planning on coming to Bridgwater tonight, if you can find parking space , make sure you lock your car...especially if it has alloy wheels..

Yep must be nearly xmas. I noticed on a visit to my local Tesco this week that they have a massive xmas tree stood at the entrance already :excited: Lets hope the rain stays off for the carnival. Those teams really work hard all year to put on those amazing floats, and raise lots of money for charities.

Some little scrotes just tried to fire a rocket at me when I was coming back from Tesco! :rant:
It'd a good job they legged it as my expensive crash hat would have been ruined against one of their heads...

Rain seems to have stopped play here in Berkshire. My labrador gets stressed by fireworks though she also gets stressed by rain. Some gundog :lol: I'd pray for more rain tomorrow but the darned stuff makes its way indoors :wall:

I didn't think there that many fireworks going off by me. Normally it sounds like downtown Basra but last night was rather quiet.

Seems nobody here cares anymore and would rather spend the money on that 'orrible Yank import.
