Fireworks

[Sportsman]

When I was a kid we didn't have the nanny state telling us what to do, we used to enjoy our fireworks, and anyway, a little plastic surgery never did anyone any harm :confused: :confused:

instead it was fireworks for guido and his party

Not looking forward to them at all, as they turn the fellow on the left above my name (my dog) into a nervous wreck.

 

Though I enjoy watching them ... just feel sorry for my dog when they are going off.

Just the point I was making Quote from earlier post:If joe public had common sense in buying and firing the damn things i.e. not industrial type bombs and not at two in the morning, there would be no need to legislate. It hasn't always been a problem, but it is now.

 

Don't know about you but when I was a lad fireworks were not incendiary devices, yes there was a degree of larking about, they weren't going at it 24-7 at every birthday, house warming, excuse for a party going.

 

If we had set them off in the dead of night our neighbours and probably the local plod would have been calling around to set us straight, just try that one today folks.

i think you can get a sedative from your vet for the more nervous pets ,my mates dog (long dead) didnt mind fireworks or guns etc but freaked at thunder he reacted far earlier than we could hear it ,one night i was sleeping on his sofa and a thunderstorm started the dammed dog litterally tore the kitchen door in half (one of those cruddy cardboad filled ones) and joined me on the sofa where it made itself very comfortable

Well I hope you're satisfied Elton, I'm off for a quick Horlicks now then bed, catch a few zeds before the fireworks get into swing.

Hi all

 

chesters that was a gooooood pipe bomb,the hard part was screwing the end caps on without getting black powder in the threads(solved with 2 two pence coins placed in first)

 

tried to use electronic detonator and that failed

so went for the calor gas single cooker to get it toooooooo hot and bang,great fun having the oxygen sucked out of the shed where i was hiding and it placed outside the wall a couple of feet away.

 

ive grown up around all types of guns and bangs and it doenst bother me with fireworks but i does drag on toooo long with bangs going well into the night(2 kids trying to sleep and a cat)

 

i let my cat out 5mins before hell broke loose around my neighbourhood and it was amazing,probaby the closet to a warzone il get,i found my cat when it started to die down,he came crawling out from under a hedge cover'd in dirt and leaves etc but looked very ok which supprised me(he got his head down and kissed his a*s goodbye)

 

not this year though il be more carefull

i was very proud of him for not bolting as some animals have been known to do(and for miles)

 

i agree with them being at a pro display only as i was narrowly missed by a rocket kids were aiming at people walking past the mouth of this footpath(trust me it looked like something from the matrix and i could feel the heat as it passed me around 1ft from my face and then landed and blew up againt this house i was passing.

 

so yep ban them from public sales.sorry all but these kids where no older than 8 and 5
