Manchester yobs caught misusing fireworks will be fined £80 on the spot. Over16s seen throwing fireworks causing distress to others will be issued with this fixed penalty notices. Will it stop them?

Only yesterday I talked to one young person who has lost two fingers in lighting up a rocket, said he didn't think about his safety because he was too drunk!

Fire-fighters were attacked by a gang described a pack of wolves as they arrived to put out a makeshift bonfire. Not an ounce of common sense in those hooded heads! You need to save them from themselves.

I love to watch fireworks. I used to be really scared of them when I was younger. Not just the noise but I used to worry that after exploding they will fall on me! I find them very excitingly overwhelming. The smell in the air also is unique. I am hoping I can twist an arm or two to go with me on Saturday.

What has made me depressed tonight though is the news that a terribly injured horse has died after a suspected firework attack on a stud farm. Luckily seven others were rescued. Why would anyone want to hurt a harmless animal?
