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!

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

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

Gosh, that many? Could be some local anniversary of someone or something historical in your area.

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.

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.

Lol

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

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

Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Is that it? Looks lovely.

I prefer the term nob, it's stright to the point. Noblemen is misleading, unless she has replaced her wangers with a wanga?!

Your showing your age gregg... there a fantastic **** of expensive smoke... there's so much to be fascinated by!
