I'm not a killjoy, and do believe that sensibly done, fireworks can be great fun. My own party last year must have seen over £700 worth go up in smoke. I live 1/4 mile from my local Tescos, and people there tell me they had a good time watching mine (well I did advertise it to my friends as a "there goes the neighbourhood" do! 
On a note of caution, one should take the distance warnings quite seriously. One of the bigger things I had, misfired and literally blew up, covering everybody attending with sand, shaking the fence, and almost blowing the neighbours patio door out (garden was 14m long, not 25m as required!). Not a trace of the thing was found, and my ears rang for days!
