Lloyd90 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Nice man, we normally get some "good" fireworks off my dads friend. We are lucky to have a big back garden so my dads mate who owns a firework shop sets up up with the good stuff, display fireworks lol! Our fireworks are nothing compared to his though, last year in his party half the street were outside of there houses watching the display he was putting on! Vracking bloke lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Every year we go to an organised display at a local village. Its only about £20 for the family to get in and they also have a local radio station playing there. The display is normally run to music and is very well put together, with some serious money spent on it. Certainly beats the dissapointing feeling you get from a build up of excited anticipation waiting for a box of 'Standard' fireworks to go off in ya back yard.

Dr W Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Clapham Common great free display and flask of mulled wine, nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Well there haven't been as many as normal going off so far tonight. Maybe in these times of economic hardship people are less inclined to watch their money go up in smoke? I'll be attending a proper display on Friday.

Browning Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I will be staying behind locked doors with the TV volume turned high trying to console one of our dogs who is a nervous wreck at this time of year because of damned fireworks. If I had my way they would be licenced only to organised displays to be held well away from farms, and would put an extremely tight limit on the noise. Bah Humbug? Too damned right, I despise the bloody things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I normally just get invited to other peoples so no need to buy any. plus free food at them aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 There were very few around me last night. I took the dog out about 8.30 and saw about 3 and there were a few bangs in the distance. My dog doesn't even acknowledge them let alone be scared of them. I did go to a display at the pub wher eI caly shoor on sunday it is was fantastic. It was completely free and must have gone on for 20minutes of non stop fireworks. God knows what that must have cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm going to miss the big display in town this year as it is a mates 30th birthday meal I wasnt going to miss out though, so I bought some fireworks from Asda and had my own display in the garden last night. It had it all - 20 quids worth of Adsa's crappiest fireworks, my kids cheering their heads off and hot dogs afterwards. Superb! ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 We didn't bother this year - bah humbug. Our son seems to have reached that age where it's not "cool" any more, so we saved our money. He didn't seem bothered about going to a display either, so we didn't In previous years, we've had about fifty quids worth of mostly rockets . We used to aim them upwards, allowing for windspeed and direction, trying to get the dead rocket to land back where it started - amazing how good you get at that. Hours of fun for all the family Alas no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
