Thread: Fireworks

Your lucky if it's only children , up our way & apparently in Newcastle , fireworks going off for no reason is supposed to mean that another drug shipment has arrived in town! Scumbags

aren't fireworks banned from public purchase. China town sells them under the counter and I think you can buy them in Canberra. B ut as fafre as i recall the are banned due to horrific injuries occurring.

All you blokes must have had boring childhoods if you never blew **** up...

I won't be complaining about them going off every Saturday all year and every night at present, lest they declare jihad on the Christians in the street.

When I was a bit younger, we used to celibrate Guye Fawks night. Cracker and sky rockets, it was teriffic fun. When it got banned it was because of horrific burns kids received. One boy had a packet of penny bungers in his shorts pocket the lit so how or by someone else. Sky rockets hitting people or landing on house roof etc could cause fires.

Lighten up a bit, too many self centred people about, I miss being able to get fireworks. The only time it really becomes an issue is when used dangerously or letter box bombs or maybe early hours of morning.. If your dog is jumpy just ensure they cannot get out of your yard which is your legal obligation having a do anyway.

They are also legal in Darwin for one day of the year. The ones that can be purchased there are similar to what the pro's use at big events.

They make the old penny bungers and rockets that were around in my childhood look tame.

used to love Guy Falks, in Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) it was banned because it was banned everywhere else, lots of fun, have a Brai and fireworks in your own backyard mostly a few sky-rockets and something for the ladies to go Ahhh over, but mostly it was for the kids with jumping jacks and bangers galore, Oh well so much for progress, miss the old days though.
