It's that time of year again, time to celebrate the failure of Guy Fawkes in his attempts in blowing up Parliament :)

 

*cue Fireworks in thread*

 

Anyone going to any displays this year?

Remember, remember the Fifth of November, Gunpowder Treason and Plot,I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot.Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intentTo blow up King and Parli'ment.Three-score barrels of powder belowTo prove old England's overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match.Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

I hate fireworks, they should be banned from public sale. It's just unnecessarily dangerous and it doesn't actually entertain anyone above the mental age of 10

 

OOOO SHINY EXPLOSIONS

Spoil Sport :P

I don't know. I'm not a fireworks kind of person, but the ones at Disneyland always make me cry. I always feel like a little kid again! :)

fireworks are some of my favorite things ever. i wish we had guy fawkes night here anyway. it's such a funny thing to celebrate, really. i mean, it makes sense, but its a humorous sort of holiday to me.

I'll be in the sky :D

 

But I'm actually really scared of fireworks :wreck:

I hate them,they should be banned and are a nuisance to the general public!!!

They're pretty

My toilet is scared of fireworks.

^ :inquisitive:

 

do tell

A couple years ago I posted i picture on here of what happens when you put a bottle rocket in a toilet. It blows out the bottom. On the 4th of July a few years ago, I had the great idea of sticking a bottle rocket in my toilet and and it blew a hole in the bottom.

Aren't they great, especially in peoples letterboxes?:dozey:

 

Yes I've seen that happening today.

To answer your question, we're probably going to the park. :)

I have a mental age of 10 then :P I love fireworks.

 

We're going to the Trafford Centre tomorrow night for their display. And then we're reminiscing on Wed, and having fireworks at my parents house. My sister was born on Bonfire Night, so every year we had fireworks at home. She's moved back home this weekend, and had to leave her husband behind on the other side of the country, so we're having a fireworks party to cheer her up :D

They're great as long as they're either under controlled conditions or used by responsible persons. Having said that, they're explosives and there are millions of people who are over 18 but are not responsible. Therefore it follows that they should be banned from general sale. No arguments.

I'm off to a free fireworks display in Runcorn on wednesday, they put the fireworks on a wall inbetween the river mersey and the manchester ship canal so you cannot get anywhere near them going off unless you have a boat!!!

 

Though I don't really need to go to anywhere really, where I live you can see fireworks popping up all over the place for miles around, and sometimes they are the best because you don't get wet, don't get cold and you can hardly hear them!!! And most of them are organised events, so they're darn good and you don't have to pay a penny!
