fireworks :D
 

ok after reading another post... i thought id start the fireworks thread nice and early ;)

so who is for and against them? personally i love fireworks. i dont care much for the people who complain about loud bangs scaring their animals and whatnot either. we have 2 cats, and have had several rabbits and other varieties of hay-eating animals that were never affected. one of my cats we cannot catch to keep inside on nov 5th, she sits outside and watches them...:erm:

i dont see what harm fireworks cause apart from the morons who decide to throw them at people etc. and of course that man in the paper a couple of weeks ago who decided to imitate a jackass stunt with a banger...

we get the campaigns every year to ban the things, but what *real* damage do they cause to anyone, apart form 2 or maybe 3 nights with less sleep than usual?

A trip down memory lane!! We had this very discussion and poll on .com at this time last year!!! :D

i dont give a damn what anyone else thinks i like fireworks since i was 6 ive let them off on the 5th of november every year using the correct procedures

correct procedures? you mean to say you have a 25m long garden for larger than bottle rockets and airbombs? :p

not quite i keep my distance let plenty of batteries off airmbombs are banned arent they ?

Ahh yes, the good old "I want so I'll have" brigade is still alive and kicking I see.....

I love fireworks too. However, some animals ARE scared by them (I have two dogs and a cat that are terrified by them)

Try living round here. Last year, the displays started in about July and carried on every weekened until March this year...

i think they have banned them for this year. just like the banned those cruddy little bangers a few years ago etc etc.

we let off batteries of things (mostly with loud bangs that set off next door's car alarm heheh), but we also let off big display fireworks, eg the rockets with sticks that brain u if you hit them. wh ocares about the 25m limit? ;)

:confused:

unlucky.. we have never really had that problem, except every other saturday night when the local kurds and muslims have a riot with fireworks launched at each other (yes they fire fireworks its crazy sometimes):eek:. and also in case any health and safety police are watching, we also have a big fire in our garden as well where we burn all kinds of crap... (not literally of course :rolleyes:)

what brigade im an individual sensible ive never hurt anyone my next door neighbors dont mind infact they set there own off

i dont join any brigade thank_ you_very_much :D

Ahh, Memories...

There seem to be a few topics that seem to come up from time to time :NTL being crap, the cap, religion & fireworks..

not even the fire or boys brigades? ;)

I hate them, think they are pointless, and should be licenced like other products that are desined to burn and explode:)

hmmm........boys...........;)

if used reasonably and correctly i see no problem dont want my fun spoiling just because a few prats think they are funny by abusing them

i've never known a cigarette lighter to be licenced, or a candle for that matter... /cynical

of course i am a believer in the theory that if fireworks were illegal, dangerous imports would appear and people would make their own...(after all who hasnt dabbled with pencil lead and sulphur in chemistry class? ;)

But lighters are not designed to explode:confused:
