"And some people who annoy me are..."

The idiot kids round my way who buy fireworks weeks before November 5th, and let them off... during the day.

I'm sorry, but just what is the point? All day yesterday, there were rockets being launched. You couldn't see them, but you could hear them.

And that's my point... YOU COULDN'T SEE THEM.

Isn't 95% of the point of such fireworks to see the pretty colours? If you launch them during the day, all you can see is a thin column of grey smoke, and not much else.

Doesn't that kinda make fireworks a bigger waste of money than they already are? (Don't get me wrong - I *like* fireworks, but they're just so damn expensive these days, if you want anything more than 'pffffft, whistle, pop')

Banger in a chip is always funny.

Things explode. It scares people. Some of my mates do it and think it's hilarious. But they're the people who also think farts are funny.

There were fireworks in Crystal Palace last night. Which was strange.

I don't mind the people who let them off in the dark - it's a free fireworks show. But yeh, I get your point.

PS. as I wrote this, I watched a Mario Sunshine ad on TV, which I hadn't seen before. Good for a primetime spot (Will and Grace).

Theres lots of people like that round my place aswell.

And they dont go 'pffffft, whistle, pop'

They go `pffft, whistle, BAM!!!`

I live in a valley sort of, and up on the hill to the left is where all the rich people live. I have a wicked view for all of these displays which last about an hour and I don't even have to strain my neck.

Boo-yeh!

(:)

That is rediculous though, (sp? ah who gives a damn...) that could have seriously maimed you or even killed you.

Some people.

Yep, funny looking back on it.

Whole thing was full of smoke

LOL!
Sorry for laughing at your misfortune but the randomness of the event you described and the way you described it...LOL

Yep that's what I'll hear every so often for a few weeks

Ban the things until days before November 5th and New Year

I remember somebody passed by in a van and through a bloody firework in bus stop I was in.

Needless to say I nearly shat myself

Aye, seems stupid now. But it was great fun messing around with fireworks when i was 14-15. Stupid yes, but great fun. Although some idiot let off an air bomb straight down an alley while me and a few mates were walking through it. It missed us quite literally by a a meter or two and exploded just behind us.

Then there was a the other trick of putting bangers in exhaust pipes of cars. why?!

Bangers in Bananas was also a laugh. Not too sure why we were walking around with bananas though...hmmmmm
