bloody hell,im not mean but i just spent £280 on 10 fireworks, i remember bangers were a £1.00,im expecting some type of huge display for this lol i got fed up of letting them off last year,so this year ive gone for quality instead of quantity,ive got one called dynamite its supposed to last 6 min (pretty long) id say.wish me luck 

It doesn't take much to entertain a Beagle. A sparkler will keep me occupied for days.

£280 you say? mmmmm called dynamite is it?

I would advise you to stand well back from it after lighting.  


Look what happened when i overspent on the fireworks last year!!!

I just sold a mate 8 huge boxes for £120, there are loads about.

Sorry on my high horse about this whole subject............why are you buying fireworks??????
These things maim and destroy somebody every year.
They are intrusive to those who live nearby.
They now seem to be let off for a full month either side of any official celebration
They are louder than is reasonable

I say enough is enough is enough and they should all be regulated.............and this from a libertarian anarchist

I hate the bloody things.  They scare my dogs every year.  I got into a fight with three Ned's a couple of years back after one of them threw one near my dog.  Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with properly organised displays, but I hate it when Kids set off fireworks weeks before Nov 5th. I guess it is ok if you live in an area where people are responsible enough not to set them off at anytime of day, but I stay in Scumsville and there are savages everywhere you look  :D. It is impossible to predict when one of them will suddenly decide to let off a firework, so after 5pm there is no way my dogs will get to go a walk.

I'll take my kids to an organised display tonight and some sparklers tomorrow night in the Garden

The organised display will be far better than anything I'd do, is cheaper for me and the kids love the sparklers anyway

Not a great fan personally of people going overboard with this sort of stuff

Last year while back in London the local kids would terrorise people while they were out shopping by deliberately aiming them and bombarding shopfronts etc...When one of those things whistles past your face it takes you out of your stride, I can tell you.

For my money, I can't really see what the fuss is about. Once you've seen one you've seen em all and £280 is a fair few buy ins for me playing live. Just my boring take on it.

thats a bit harsh sark:( what would some of your neighbours think? in every neighbourhood you get tossers. doesnt mean its all bad does it? i take it your dogs dont like the noise?

lol,  I was just kidding.   Yea one of my dogs hates the noise, the other one is ice cool and is afraid of nothing. He was a rescue and was very thin when he first arrived, but his past has had no negative effects on his behaviour. He is the most confident person I have ever met, just like a pushy gameshow host  :D

hes not called 'basil brush' is he?  lol and before anyones says it, i know hes a fox

Watch out for fireworks like that, we bought one of those last year and said people had to stand at least 25m back, now I dunno about you but I haven't got a 25m long garden! Also keep all kittens away... mine decided to go and have a look at it just before it took off, I thought he was going to die!!

Just got back from an organised one, what a show, it was fantastic. My little girl loved it too, she was a bit scared at first and wanted cuddles with daddy :) but she got into it (she's only two) 

 :goodpost:

I'd like to see fireworks taken out of the shops and used for organised displays only

No  :D .  He is called Roland. My other dog is called Elvis

had to take the dog today to the vet for some heavy medication over the next few days

it is gonna have a coronoary i think v soon



i hate fireworks

bloody pointless waste of time and money

well they have all gone now and what a fantastic night ,,the fireworks were FANTASTIC best ever for the kids who loved every second of it some of the fireworks lasted upto 5 min long wow,great value

as for all who dont like fireworks,get a life .its for the kids to have a bit of fun you misreable lot,,,ok ok ok ok i dont agree with kids in streets with fireworks but come on what great fun we all just had at mine about 5 famillies food drink a bit of fun for the kids IN SAFE HOUSE.get a life guys please.............

i love the pretty fireworks but hate the banging ones, which are about 90% of fireworks now it seems
but give me a proper organised event anyday ;)

Its a bit like a war zone here, some kids where launching rockets horizontally down the street. I expect the police helicopter any moment to come under heavy artillery!!!

Glad you had such a good time , oh and the kids  ;D .
I dont like firework night , too many accidents , a stupied friend of mine left fireworks on her stairs " still secure in box " she said , her friends 5 yr old took one out took it to her kids bedroom and let it off outside the window !!! stupied cow for letting it happen  ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr;.

Must admit i love to watch a good firewprk display

Whenever there's fireworks around, there's always something going off.
