Fireworks

[Eskallon]

Hey there

I am just waiting for my parents to get home before we start our own firework display in our garden. So I was just wondering what you all think of them, do you like them, hate them, find them too dangerous, are scared or whatever?

I personally don't mind them, I kinda like them and do look forward to our display but I never burst out with excitement.

So what do you think of fireworks in general?

[zouave]

I enjoy fireworks. I think it's a lot more fun to light them than to watch.

[Fluyt]

Fireworks are great. Always a joy to light and to watch.

I enjoy fireworks. I think it's a lot more fun to light them than to watch.

I love lighting them too. My favourite are Cherry Bombs

I love them. The laws on these things are awful. I love shooting rockets. You might call me a bottle rocket junkie.

Fireworks are powered by awesome. We sometimes stockpile a heap of really good ones with one of our neighbours for some celebration, but haven't done it in recent memory. On New Years there's quite a blast (get it? ) but the dog is terrified of them, but since I don't like him that much and prefer my cat Smokie, it's a good laugh seeing him dart under the shack.

Batbrick Away!

I have literally just come back from a display. It was fantastic, and we found a great spot to watch them! There must have been around seven supposed finales!

The things I like best about them are the colours and the shockwave hitting my (muscle charged) chest.

I love Fireworks. I hate the "cartwheel" things. Useless. Burn my fence.

My park is doing a big fireworks display, can't see it but I can hear it. Sounds like were in a war!

[Peppermint_M]

I love them. The chimistry involved in their make-up and the effort that goes into the big displays is amazing. We watch the fireworks at the end of the Torbay Regatta if our holiday coinsides with the display.

It does annoy me how many people don't have a clue about the history behind the "Fireworks Night" of November 5th. But then ignorance always vexes me .

We had some fireworks at a party once, but my dad wouldn't let me help light them (I was about 12 though.) I wonder if I can get some friends to let a few off the next time we have a party...

[Spyder]

I love them! The rocket's are great, but take away from my Lego spending money. Firecrackers are also very enjoyable, and the best part is, they're super, super loud!

[Joey Lock]

I agree with Peppermint, people should remember Guy Fawkes.

[Captain Blackmoor]

I like fireworks a lot, you don't get the opportunity to fire and burn things every day. I'm planning to buy a lot this year, just like the previous year, and the previous one...

The law isn't always happy with my kind of fireworks I think.

Man I wish it was 31 December already...

[Batbrick]

I agree with Peppermint, people should remember Guy Fawkes.

Who? You mean the guy who failed to blow up parliament and was promptly executed?

Look, I can understand people enjoying historical trivia, but getting annoyed at people who don't know about something that is completely irrelevant to their own lives? I think it'd be better to adopt a "Don't know it? Fair enough, but it's interesting" stance.

Batbrick Away!

[Milan]

I like them, too.

New Year would not be the same without it!

Amen, brother.

However, personally I don´t care about like the laws, as me and my friend.. Well, we have never went out and thrown alot of smaller fireworks in a glass bottle, light the fuse and then use it kinda like a Molotov Cocktail. Never. >But it would be pretty fun. (Of course, IF we should do it, we´re extremely careful not to let the cops see us. .....Oh, and so that noone gets hurt. Right. We´re careful. No doubt. *Thinks of myself saying "BURN, BABY, BUUURN!!! :skull: *)

Nah, seriously, we´re careful. In every 'suspect'.

You will forget all about this. *makes jedi hand move*

All of my neighbors have them. Some of the cops around here think those laws are silly. Who came up wit the laws for them? My dad let me lit bottle rockets when I was about 11. He trusted me. My dad also trusted me with a pellet gun when I was 12 as well.

[SlyOwl]

Mmm, lovely. The sky on drugs

Went to see the Lord Mayor's Fireworks on the Thames last year - immense!

I should really get round to going to the Alexandra Palace ones sometime...

Catharine wheels never work, eh?

[Big Cam]

I like them, I always have, but having grown up and being an adult with bills and responsibilites, i see them as the faster way to waste moeny.

I can barely burn paper money faster than you can throw it away with fireworks.

Once I get all of my debt paid off my view will likely change back but for now, they are a waste of moeny.
