sodding fireworks!!!

Next you will be wanting to ban carol singers and chestnut sellers.

I'm saving that for mid December :mad:

But roast chestnuts are nice.... :p

You can chuck carol singers in the bin though. Most of them are tone deaf.

Especially when you get idiots throwing lit fireworks into shops! If i ever saw someone do something like that I would kick there head in!

Someone lit one at such an angle last night, it went straight across the roof of my mates car and nearly hit her sister as she was getting into it. Eejits.

I have to admit when I was 14 when got a whole load of dodgy Korean mini-rockets and some discarded drainpipe & used it as a mocked-up rocket launcher. We stopped when we hit the trailer of an HGV though, plus the driver chased after us.

Seems like the no respect teens of today have taken those thoughts on board but then mutated them to think lets fire them at people!

You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking of doing something like that. Shocking behaviour....:p

Funny though!
I promptly set myself on fire the next year, still got the burn scar on my hand!
Nov5th lost it's magic after that :(

Well that was very silly. How did you manage to set yourself on fire? :flamer:

You plank! You should take more care when waving the sparklers about. :D

Was setting the bonfire, put a little bit of petrol on it before it got lit, didn't realise the old petrol can (which was metal & rusting) had a hole in it, lit the match put it on the fire and then whooooooooshhhh my hand, arm & side of my head got a flash of the spilt petrol igniting.

I can honestly not imagine a more painful way of dying than having first degree burns! I was extremely lucky, but can still remember the pain, it was also horrible to see my wounds the first time I got my dressing changed, made me throw up in the nurse's room!

Tut tut. Clearly you weren't listening at school when they told you 'Never play with fire' ;)

No, totally ignored that one.
Always was a bit of a pyro growing up! The start of my addictive personality disorder!

Wooh I used to get upto similar stuff, with yellow piping left at a roadside by the workman working there. Many a time we used to go to East Beach to test out our RPG action. Sometimes at weekend we would aim at the couples getting it on, i guess the misted windows and rocking cars gave them away. However legging it over sand was never easy.

And when it was not fireworks night, sneaking upto said cars and rocking them before legging it was such a blast.

Oh what fun I used to get upto as a young teen.
