I use to take the kids to organised displays until 2 years ago, my youngest wasn't well so a good friend offered to take Jenny (11 at the time) along with their children.

One of the large rocket/banger things went flew off sideways into the crowd hitting her, it kinda takes the "fun" out of it from then on.....

In my experience it's far from one week in the year. I think if it was I'd hardly notice and it might feel like an 'occasion' (may be even something to look forward to so long as the things aren't used to terrorise people as they go about their business - wishful thinking.).

Then again, I never had fireworks as a kid (bonfire in the garden, a sparklerand we were happy so not surprising I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Aww c'mon.... Fireworks rock.  I spent an hour gently freezing in Harlesden watching their 'Don't Try This At Home' public display.  My ears hurt and I keep seeing floating lights in front of my eyes but I'd do it every day if it were socially acceptable.  Blowing small things up which make exciting showers of sparks is pure entertainment.  And Dana's cat is so old I don't think it can hear anything anyway.  Sorry about your neighbour though. 

How come there was no display in Dublin Jen?

'Shottingham'? Reminds me, I need to watch 'Shottas'...keep hearing kids reference it and brother says there are some funny lines so I'll have to pull my finger out and load the DVD that's been sitting on my bookcase since the World Cup.
