And pretty expensive - a mate and I agreed to get some a few years back. we both dropped £50 and had about 6 or 7 fireworks TOTAL

I really don't know why anyone buys them

I couldn’t watch this last night - but it’s on iPlayer. Watching it now….

Well that was…..

It was…..

Erm….

Cheery stuff, one assumes?

Why put a noisey exhaust on your car when you can go and listen to a better one at the local racetrack?

I'm sad that Guy Fawkes always intersected with the start of fire season bans. In the end fireworks were banned in most states here which was also sad.

Who doesn't want to show off their personal autonomy over the power of banging, flying, colourful explosions!!

Yes dickheads spoil everything, including fast cars and fireworks, doesn't mean no-one should have them.

Yeah, fuck anyone who doesn’t like being surprised by explosions over their house for weeks on end

Fireworks are a Halloween thing back home as we don't celebrate Guy Fawkes night.

On the 5th, we wear Black Armbands in memory of the those brave but ultimately unsuccessful men...

I want to watch it but I don't want it to stick with me for the rest of my life. (like watching 'Buried' has done)
