"Massive Fires and things that go BANG"

So it's bonfire night as I'm sure many of you good people are aware. Some of you will be running around the garden, getting massive cheapies from a stick of wire, with a coating of gunpowder, fizzling, on one end.

It's all good fun if you don't pay a penny for it - so I may visit a public house and watch some other sucker, who forked out six grand for a box of glorified distress flares, set fire to his money like it was infected with ebola.

So, any plans for tonight, you cerrazy wannabe arsonists?

:D

Awww, you never had fireworks as a kid ?

Anyway, I went to the American Adventure World display on Saturday and it was good, made even better because my dad's friend from the park gave him free VIP tickets. 30 minutes long, though some of the music was crap, but fireworks in sync with Christina Aguilera's Dirrty song are highly entertaining to say the least.

Bad part, some muppet had not had the brains to figure out that car parks, in fields, at night, with no lights, make for many lost people and lost cars at the end of the day. Knowing your car is somewhere in the darkness along with the cars of hundreds of other people's is not a great end to the evening.

But back to tonight, outside it's like Shock And Awe (TM)

You meant 'industrial', right?

Fireworks are a waste of money, but industrila grade explosive isn't... :D

Fireworks are a waste of money, you pay for them and they're all gone in a puff of smoke. Other peoples are always nicer and I can quite happily watch from my bedroom window without getting cold, burnt or spending any money.

one year my mate got a 56 shot airbomb.

it sounded like someone firing a machine gun.

we set it off on some wasteground and had to run quite fast.

of course, that was back when I was immature ....

remember to wear gloves whilst holding sparklers.

Blue peter said so

yup yup
