Shouldn't this be in the climate change thread?

Was it 1955 where the pagin  act was still a jail sentence?

As usual people talk nonsense,

God help heresy

Just waiting for the snp to ban fireworks its november after all xmass will be next

I find them fun if you set them off at 2 in the morning

Otherwise no they are boring

I think you all miss the point tis a pagin festival, governments won’t to stop them ...like today...it’s not about fireworks..

Some people can only express them self’s with a bang and colour.. still soon be Christmas

at least it scares all the tree rats away

In Japan, fireworks have to be quiet.  In Australia, private fireworks are banned altogether.  Only organised displays can use them.  In the UK, lots of men wake up disappointed to find that the extra-loud fireworks they spunked their cash on hasn't made their tiny penises grow.

Rockets are good fun, especially if you throw them.

After you've lit them of course.

As a youngster, we used to guard our bonfire from the low life "Moorlanders", who thought it great fun to torch the others in the village, before the 5th.

We made a rocket launcher, with pram wheels, and a length of wooden guttering.

We also had pistols, with a basic hand grip, and a length of copper pipe, flattened at one end, which was then nailed onto the grip!

Drop in a small lighted "banger", followed by a marble, and they were lethal!

Incredibly nobody died!!!

As kids we used to make pipe bombs from steel pipes.
I put the method used to make them up on here years ago but Betfair took it down sharpish.

When we let one of those off it brought the whole street out away from their tellies.

Reminds me of what the Mayor of Hiroshima said in 1945 - ''What the f'ck was that?''

Correction Dr C, the Mayor of Hiroshima said "What the fuu!"
