    Fireworks...

    ...are rubbish are these days, I can't find air bomb repeaters or a thunderflash anywhere.

    How are kids meant to have firework fights with the piddly little sticks on offer?
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    I agree. Not as good as it used to be.

      You need a pop-up shop selling dodgy Chinese fireworks.

      They've put that sense of danger and entertainment back into Fireworks Night!

        Come to Edinburgh during the festival or hogmanay for a proper fireworks display / party.

          That's it, Grove park 1986!

          One team with a big box of air bombs in the shelter at top and the other team with a box of rockets and bangers doing a pincer movement to try and take the higher ground.

          One of my mates parents owned a pub and he had access to the safe so arms funding was never an issue, doubt his dad ever noticed.
