It's the fireworks party thread !!! Woo-hoo!

[RichardCranium]

Come on, join in, it's great!

Wahoo, wahey! Cor! Gosh!


Whoosh! Boom, boom, boom!


Wa-ha-hey!


Bloody hell!




Here, bung these in the office microwave, then do a runner to the pub.

Damn. That was all I could afford.

Have you brought any?

My local fireworks display has been cancelled again this year. Too many people were turning up and not paying the £5 or whatever it was entrance fee and £5 or whatever it was for a hotdog. Presumably they needed to charge these prices to hire the security guards and rent for the parkland ground from the council and to pay for the massive lights that they shone in freeloaders eyes who had a grandstand view of the display from outside the compound That didn't stop them hiring yet more people to come amongst us with cash buckets that they shook at us incessantly though.

One of the above pictures of bangers reminds of when I was a wee teenager. My school, in Folkestone, used to do a yearly "French" trip to Calais and we would take the opportunity to stock up on French baggers. 10s of times better that the weak UK variants. Thankfully our coach was never stopped by customs. French bangers in enclosed spaces!

seem to see as many fireworks at New Year these days as on bommie night

The ones you can feel in your chest are best. Usually a second or two after you see the explosion.

Chunk of home-made black treacle toffee, anyone?

I used to hide mine in the zip-away hood on my 80's ski jacket, the potential to blow my head off never occurred to me until now.

Indeed. One of these in a glass milk bottle made a passable grenade. Alternatively one could be put in the open end of some cowhormn handle bars followed by a handfull of fine gravel and a grass plug to make a rudimentary blunderbuss. Don't start me on cow pat landmines.

Kids today have no idea how to make their own fun.
