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... 
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?

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

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?

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)  . 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  )

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?
