Fireworks
 

Whats your opinion on fireworks?
Like them or loathe them?

I like fireworks :spin:

I like the colourful ones but hate those jumping jack things. I like a goodfireworks display

I like them specially when my dad hits the house across from me with a rocket :conf: :bigsmile:

I'm bored of them and they just scare my dogs, ban them.

Too many pics of badly burned children in the papers at this time of year.. I think fireworks should be limited to organised displays..

LMAO!!!

It was in my local newspaper that someone had called their hamster S Club - which didn't make sense.

They tied their hamster to a rocket and set it off. The last line was something like "S Club definitely reached for the stars" :rolleyes:

Deserving of a groan! :laugh:

tut tut :nono:

tie fireworks to hooligans and see how they like it!!!

When i was a kid, the run up to firework night was the best fun i'd had all year .. some of the things we got up to, as a kid, were fantastic!! .. i wish i was 10 again.
i never got hurt once! ( had lots of close escapes though)
Bangers and rockets were my favourite, especially when tied together.

What ****ing twats!!:shocked::mad:

Well i will explain. When i was young a (while back lol may i add)
We used to by these safety matches (they were a bit like sparklers) all diff colours they were called London lights dont ask me why that was just the name of them on the box.They burnt out a lot quicker than sparklers do. and Duh! im not making it up Heard of Sulpher

One was set off at my school today :bored: It was the scariest thing ever :laugh: But, I dont mind them.

I like sparklers but not the loud banging ones

i like those catherine wheels too but always scared incase they spin off in your face

ive just explained

I don't think fireworks should be banned, but it's getting annoying hearing them go off weeks before bonfire night.

Love them! :thumbs:
They’re really spectacular, although I do think we’re going a bit overboard now. I reckon they should be saved and made especially exclusive to the particular Bonfire Night weekend, it makes it more fun. It just gets tedious I reckon when everyone keeps doing it in the build-up; IMO it spoils the actual date itself. We should keep it the way the Americans do their Independence Day or something. People round my area have been setting off fireworks for a while now.

They shouldn't be banned. I love them. I set them off all the time. Great fun:laugh:

I like fireworks.
I dont think theres any excuse for them to be banned

People know the rules

The early counterparts were simple splints of wood, home-made by both adults and children in the cottages surrounding London. Sharpened at one end, the matches were dipped in sulphur, and were used for catching the sparks struck from flints and steel, being quicker and easier to light than tinder commonly in useSulphur Match

Matches originated during the reign of the Roman Empire, but they were not self igniting. The matches were composed of thin strips of wood tipped with sulphur. The sulphurous match head was touched against a hot surface, such as fire embers or a heated poker, whereupon the sulphur would ignite. This form of match persisted into the 18th century. These matches were not an original ignition source; typically a fire would have to be lit, using steel and flint, to light the match.
In 1786 sulphur matches were sold in Paris and London with a bottle, the inside of which was coated with phosphorus. The sulphur match head was rubbed in the phosphorus and then on the cork stopper of the bottle, thereafter the match ignited.


Duh!

i dont think they should be sold at liek asda or something

they should be a fireworks display for everyone who wants 1

the are good

i dont think they should be banned.

but i think they should be kept for profesional firework displays. And it should be banned for random people to buy them and use them their selves.

:xyxwave:

I posted that before you explained :rolleyes:

I was explaining to elz
and!

I love them No way should they be banned!:nono:

I read it, you said I've explained to elz in response to a post by me before you had explained.........confusing.

ok

i hate fireworks, by setting one off were celebrating attempted arson, and next doors dog goes mad, shes so scared and its so cruel so fireworks - bad idea

I don't think fireworks should be banned.
There should just be tighter restrictions on who should be able to buy them. :bigsmile:

Fireworks are fine once a year

wtf :bored:
