Question

[Tanser_Man]

Can anybody tell me why there are there loads of fireworks going off?

What are we celebrating now? :thumbs2:

[Scarlett.]

There are'nt in Blackpool lol

[Tanser_Man]

Weird, i've searched for festivals that might coincide with this weekend and haven't found anything yet.

* France and all French dependencies - Bastille Day.
* Kiribati - Independence Day, 3rd day, not a holiday.
* Sweden - Birthday of Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, an official flag day.
* United States - National Nude Day

I like the sound of celebrating national nude day but i don't think thats it!

There was firework's going off at a neighbours birthday party about a month back, any excuse eh?

[Sunny_01]

I imagine it is someone celebrating the birth of their pet cats kittens, like Dan said any excuse for fireworks these days!

[cepb]

Probably some personal celebration.

[Tanser_Man]

I'm not that silly!

The fireworks were going off everywhere, for about 20 minutes at around 11pm, it wasn't just Bill from number 2 celebrating getting a new haircut!

Weird :whistle:

Well, I live next to a castle and there have been a lot of fireworks here too....

My theory is that it's Mid-July = Proms, Weddings etc. :bigsmile:

[Mrluvaluva]

There was loads of fireworks in London last night too. I was watching them from my kitchen window. They seemed to be going off next to the eye.

[Lauren]

Also, haven't uni students just graduated too?

So thats proms, weddings, graduations.

Nob \Nob\, n. [Abbrev. fr. noble.]

A person in a superior position in life; a nobleman. [Slang]

Is that it? Looks lovely.

[Lauren]

Oooh... obviously when I call people nobs I mean that. Of course :thumbs:

Yeah thats it, my college is so close to it that we have tutor mornings inside the great hall.

Shut it Lauren, you nobleman. Ohhhh I'm going to love using that ;)


That's weird. No fireworks up here though, I don't really see the fascination with them myself.. >.>

[Lauren]
