Im getting pished off with them already! its bad enough having them on nov 5th now what with this asian festival i have to put up with them in bloody october as well!
AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!!
My dogs are cowering under the table. Tomorrow morning, like every other morning, the people with the fireworks will look at me and my dog like they've been force fed Rhino vomit. Tolerance should work both ways. I await the Racist chants.
Sure there are plenty of people who hate having football on their doorstop for a few hours every 2 weeks or so...
Live and let live as they say, or just go and enjoy it.
Have to agree with live and let live, BUT............
You let a firework off after midnight on November 5th and see how many old bill come round telling you it is against the law to let fireworks off after midnight.
Yet tonight/tomorrow morning we will get fireworks going off with every copper suddenly being hard of hearing.

Midnight for 5th November, 1am for New Year's, Chinese New Year and Diwali.
Makes sense to me - 5th Nov is by far the busiest for fireworks.
Ah I remember Diwali very well. Living in Heston/ Southall it sounded like the pre advance barrage at El Alamein. My dog( alsation) when I was still at Mum and Dad's used to go mental at the fireworks.Not cowaring under the table or anything. She used to bark and growl. and chase the rockets .
unless your under 12 , why would you let off fireworks ?? absolute waste of time, you stand there in the cold get mud all up yer trainers and timberlands and look to the sky and go Coorrrrrr, Wow, wooooooooooo, then you go home , absolute load of bollox, even my step daughter and her mates gave up with them when they were 8
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Take one motorbike gauntlet or similar large glove. plus an.old Hoover tube or similar pipe like object. plus various 'arial fireworks' like rockets , roman candles ,arial bombs. Equals brilliant fun for any self respecting council estate kid from the 70's. Firework Wars. Brilliant laugh

Gloves?? Not in Scotland, mate. The trick is knowing when to let the rocket go....too soon and it can go any direction/bounce back/get you. Too late and you've got burns all the way down your arm. Just right and you can get it bounce off the tarmac in a half volley at your opponent at full speed.
Note that launching air bombs by hand looks good to onlookers but is not nearly as difficult/dangerous/effective.
In the dim and distant past, my mate and I had a fireworks party and everyone brought some along. Little did they know that we had a cunning plan: we had worked out a crude but simple way of networking them all. We had to post sentries, for safety reasons, when we let them off, on some waste ground, and good thing we did because it was like a mini Gulf War: hundreds of pounds worth of fireworks went off in thirty seconds, all triggered using fusewire and a car battery. Awesome.
Re. Diwali, I played football outdoors in Slough last night, next to a park, and what with all the stuff exploding overhead, we got a little taste of what Panathanaikos v Olympiakos is like.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
Used to buy bangers when I wa at school, one didn't go off so I snapped it in half and lit the powder,it was called a Genue, anyhow I got to close, couldn't see for twenty minutes and lost both my eyebrows!
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL
Isn't that half the point of fireworks, like complaining a bonfire is too hot!
Not at all. The spectacle is in the colours and patterns not the noise. And when they are exploding in your back garden some ten yards from your french windows, then tell me if they arent loud.

Ah Genies. What fun, unless you weren't careful of course.
Jumping jacks. Now they were great entertainment. No predicting where they would go, but if someone made a run from one it would usually follow! It was like watching a scene from a cartoon comic character. Hilarious, well it was at the time.
Does anyone on here know of someone who put damp fireworks in an oven to dry out? Well one stupid uncle of mine did. Destroyed his kitchen and his marriage too!
this could be an explosive thread fireworks are on sale all year...last night around west hampstead, fireworks going off near the railway most of the late evening....
