Fireworks
 

What you got planned for this year?

Been a long time since I've set off a few but thinking of a little back garden display this year as my eldest (3 1/2) seems to appreciate them. Not an armageddon job but probably a few fountains, rockets, catherine wheels etc. for a bit of fun.

Any bargains to be had? :)

I bought some packs of about eight really big Roman candles from Costco, about £11 a pack.

Let some off the other night and they were quite impressive for what works out at about £1.35 per firework. I'm going to pick up some more tomorrow.

Still can't believe in this day and age that they actually sell fireworks to pretty much anyone. Should just be organised displays in my opinion...

We got a good selection from aldi,not sure what they're like yet tho until bonfire night.
You can argue that only sharp knives should be sold to chefs and professional cooks but most people are responsible. Just my opinion
I'm looking forward to our little display :)

Where's the fun in that :D

Used to love it when I was a kid. Bonfire in the back garden, cathrine wheels nailed to the shed, rockets in milk bottles, bangers, jackie jumpers and roman candles that had wooden handles so you could hold them. Only ever got burned once and that was by a little sparkler :rolleyes:

Or if you`ve got $200 million to spare...

Bought a selection box from The Range, £20 for 32 fireworks including a few rockets. Should be enough to entertain my little ones this year and if they like it then I can get some more extravagant stuff the next time. Must say some of the "cakes" they had in there were huge. Would like to set one of them off one day :D

got mine from here..

£200 boxes £55 , £135 boxes £45......don't know what they are like as I'm not into the fecking things , but they are the prices I was offered them at today.

Thanks, excellent website with vids to let you know what you are buying:thumb:

Hell lets ban alchol outside of licensed venues whilst we are at it....

Banned in N.Ireland unless you have a license to use them.

Doesn't stop people though :(

Got some funny looks today buying £200 fireworks, a set of Chef knives, and £100 special brew.

That's a typical Friday night shopping list for me

Havnt heard / single firework yet



Have done in previous months. :wonder:

Should see the looks you get buying £200 worth of fireworks, a few 100 rusty nails and a length of drain pipe...

Quite the norm around here , even get a free taxi back home if you turn up on foot :Suspiciou
