That'll give me something to think about while I'm at work :(

All the family are coming up to work as right next door is a REALLY big display (Which is why I'm at work in case the place catches fire).....

Well, I went to Tesco at lunchtime and bought a wee box for our wee man's first back garden fireworks display. He was in bed fast asleep last year, but now he's two years old it's past time he learned how to set fire to stuff :D

I got their smallest box (cos he is still a small boy), which is pleasantly stuffed with fireworks for a bargain £10, and came with a free pack of rockets. I was amazed when the assistant shoved the rockets into the bag, they're huge. I was expecting the freebies to be a pack of screamers or something. We is gonna have fun :D :D

Many moons ago when my Dad had a job in a bank, burglurs broke in and no one did anything becuase when the burglurs detonated explosives to get in, everyone thought it was fireworks.


I think there is an art in firework displays. Its a matter of creating a mood and a journey and by combining it with the approriate music you can choregraph a whole sound to light production.
Stick a few lasers and use the smoke from the fireworks and you can create some great effects.

Just come home from my fireworks outing at the local park.
It was free, there was lots of people, lights glwoing in the trees, it was magical.
I love this time of year.
As for the fireworks,,..... Absolutely briliant. HUGE BANGS and a sky so lit up it was fantastic.
I hope everyone else had a good time.

No music or Lasers i'm afraid - but we had a good time. :D

Re: 2004 firework thread
 

went to the big uni firework display last night. 20mins of loud bangs and bright light, great :D

only problem was, they hold a funfair at the same time. pikeys and gyppos everywhere :(

Re: 2004 firework thread
 

What's wrong with having a funfair there? It adds to the fun.

Is it that you didn't win a goldfish? ;)

Re: 2004 firework thread
