Posted November 5, 2007 pwning-up all the non-hallmark holidays, I be! Whatcha got planned? So far, nothing But there's a fireworks factory down the road, and I've been hearing fireworks go off pretty much all year round here. There's a big show down at Don Valley stadium here in sheffield for £7, but unsure how to get back after the show closes at 10. My internet searches have so far been pretty poor at locating any other places... YOU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2007 Big old bonfire, some beers and singing round the campfire I feel. Hopefully it wont get as out of control as last year when we 'accidently' burnt down the fence and blew up a TV, a bin and a shed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2007 You know, the Chinese let off Fireworks for any occasion: marriages, births, deaths, moving into a new house, a new business opening... ...but for some reason they don't give too much thought to the attempted murder of a British Monarch over 400 years ago. Bit of an ass, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 5, 2007 I think me and my housemates will be celebrating the potential destruction of parliment, rather than the saving of parliment. It's something I think will appeal to them being anarchists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2007 Actually, I consider them two of the finest traditions of old Britain The Chinese don't do Hallowe'en or Christmas either. So that's why I'm returning to merry ol' England for the December season Bonfire night I'm not too fussed about missing, but it was a good excuse to stuff yourself silly with hot sausages, burgers and beer at a local school or some unsuspecting private "do".

Posted November 5, 2007 It's usually a good excuse to have a fire and burn things, As little yellow said. Shame we've got no sort of garden to do that in this year :/ I fear the local chavs would feel offended if we were the ones starting fires in the local park, too..

Posted November 5, 2007 I went home this weekend and went to the Fireworks display in the village next door and met up with some friends who are still in school. Got a bit drunk and hung around on the streets afterwards. Pretty good night on the whole, met some cool new people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2007 We have annual fireworks down my local park which I usually watch from my house. A synopsis of most fireworks displays: First five/ten minutes - The good fireworks that go weeeeeezzzzz.... BANG! that light up the sky with different colours and makes everyone go ooooh. The middle period - Crackly fireworks, which have nice effects, and the ones that make funny sounds. Then there's those boring fireworks that don't explode or make a sound but just sort of fade away. It's too bad they don't have any of those dragon fireworks from Lotr. That would be cool. The end five minutes - The crowd has got bored of the last ten batch of fireworks. There usually is those fireworks that explode many times, which are awesome, along with the other explosive fireworks. They then finish with one colossus of a firework with lights up the entire sky.

Posted November 5, 2007 There's loads of fireworks being launched from peoples back yards around here tonight. They've been going off almost constantly for the last couple of hours. Popped down to the shops, it was like walking through south central Baghdad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2007 None; but I can see/hear the neighbours. Waste of money imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2007 I haven't got anything going on! (although my school is having some) Some Neighbours are having them and they are extremely loud. I was in the bathroom at the time when one went off and i literally thought a bomb had just been launched through the back of my bathroom! I have bought Fireworks but I'm saving them for christmas.

Posted November 6, 2007 well that was fairly fun went to a mates and ended up getting him to come back to ours; set of a bunch in the park over the road, and saw lots of awesome ones across teh street, and got told by a proud local that he had sold them the fireworks. Good fun! look forward to actually making a bonfire next year, as they're the best part of it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
