I was driving to the pictures this evening and I got a puncture after driving over firework debris.

 

How many other people property is going to be damaged because of some one elses fireworks. I wont be able to sleep very easy tonight and I like the window open and there will be no chance of that. :mad:

 

I hope the puncture can be repaired.

I've had all my lunatic neighbours setting off bloody great big display type rockets etc all night in their tiny back gardens!!!

 

Sounds like the gulf war outside!!, car alarm keeps going off due to sonic wave's being caused by the explosions, and shitting myself that some bloody great big rocket carcas is going to crash land on my zed!!!!

 

Arggghhhh.....

 

PS last year my dad's dog had a heart attack and died because of the bloody noise!!!

Just read that thread, so everyone hates fireworks being available to the public, ffs nanny society we live in.

They're gonna ban smoking in ya car next , serious.

How about lets all just stay in bed every day and not bother living.

Oh yes, especially airbombs :D

Hooray for jock, nice one, me too:D :D

Its all too commercial now. It was traditional and fun when I was a lad. I can still remember the glint in my eye as I clutched onto my pocket money waiting for the ice-cream van to come so I could buy single bangers with matches.

Bangers in milk bottles, Bangers in dog turds thats what it was all about, good old fashioned fun. None of your fancy air bombs and rockets..oh no!

It was one of the big fire works with the plastic casing. :mad:

 

I didnt have a problem with fireworks a few years ago. But fireworks are being set off 2 weeks before bonfire night. 1am, 2 weeks before bondfire night and people are setting off fireworks. Why?

 

Thing is now shops will keep selling them untill after the new year, which means another 8 weeks of people setting off fire works for no reason.

Bloody hell that that was only in Glasgow, wasnt bonfire night till somebody burned their hands pushing bangers through a letter box:rofl:

Fireworks are fun:rofl:

 

I remember when I was about ooooh, 12, me and my mates used to have wars using bangers and mini rockets as weapons:D

 

we even fabricated little hand-held "launchers" for the mini rockets using a piece of pipe sealed at one end with a lighter soldered to it so that the flame went up through a hole to light the rocket. Just like a trigger.........

 

Yes, it may sound irresponsible to some killjoys and crybabies, but no-one ever got hurt because we had "safety rules":rolleyes:

 

ie we all wore leather jackets (fire proof?) and only aimed for the torso;)

 

heh heh

Yet again, it's a case of the law alread being there, but not being enforced (too busy out catching SPEEDING cars) As usual in this poxy country it's a case of "Can't be bothered/no money in enforcing whats already there so we'll just go ahead and ban the whole sodding lot!"

 

:rolleyes:
