If I were to play loud music after 11pm I would be charged with noise pollution so why can our local Church have their bells ringing out full blast for 15 minutes from 11:25 pm last night?

The Church can ring bells loud enough to wake the dead to celebrate a ficticious birthday but I can’t play my music loud to celebrate my birthday.
I understand that several pissed up dickheads want to go to midnight mass because suddenly they feel religous for one night of the year but if they need a loud bell to tell them what time & to direct them where to go then they are well beyond redemption & should return home & go to bed which funnily enough is where I was until the noisy bastards woke me up.
And now the village morons have started with the fireworks.
And there was me thinking that Christmas spirit was a thing of the past......
Do you mean the Christmas spirit of families getting together & enjoying a peaceful time or the Christmas spirit of getting ratarsed & letting off the loudest fireworks you can find terrifying animals etc.And there was me thinking that Christmas spirit was a thing of the past......
Talking of Christmas spirit, Tilly my almost two year old Granddaughter loves drawing....on paper, furniture etc.
After a fabulous Christmas dinner & afternoon opening prezzies etc Dickhead arrived at 5 o clock to pick the Grandkids up for the night, he’s returning them at three o clock tomorrow afternoon, Grace & Joe, the elder two were crying as they didn’t want to go with him, as I was helping Tilly on with her coat I accidentally dropped a bright red Sharpie into her coat pocket, I do hope she doesn’t find it.

On the contrary, the Church is a mile away but the sound carries, the last vicar left his wife & three kids & ran off with a parishioner in true christian spirit, the bells only sounded if someone getting married was willing to pay for them, been here six years & that’s the first time I’ve heard them on Christmas eve, new vicar is a knobhead.I'm thinking Derek is one of those moaning twats that moves next to a motor racing track and moans about the noise, and we all know what those people can do as well don't we??
I have lived next to railway lines, busy roads etc, even outin the sticks you get the sounds of offroad bikes & quads, doesn’t bother me.
I too hate those that feel the need to let everyone know within half a mile what a great time they are having.
Always felt that they must have issues of some sort.
I think the sound of church bells in a village adds to the character of the place. Why don't you go down and meet or even join your local group in the bell tower one night they may give you the chance to have a go yourself? I'm sure you would see things from a different perspective then.
Do noisy campanologists get tolled off?
Most of the Churches don’t use campanologists these days, opting instead for recordings however this Church definitely use their bells & whilst they may hold a certain appeal to some, that appeal quickly wears off approaching midnight, good job I didn’t have to be up for work the next day.
Why the hell would I want to join a group of bell ringers? Have you never watched Midsummer murders?
Joking aside, by your reasoning I should go out & light fireworks because others are doing it, no thank you.
Same in Cyprus - up in the mountains they make their pyrotechnics with scaffold poles.
Quite exciting!!
They are ok, but a sod to avoid as they come down!
Vikings more like.
