Fireworks - where from? what is good?
« on: 28 October 2011, 12:01 »
Last year i ended up getting stuff a bit late, some from tescos bogof stuff

To say they were crap is an understatement

Anyone recommend any brands that are good? have to be value for money as well

Go to your towns firework display, cheap, safe and usually good. I was surprised at how good ours was last year (first time I had been), lots of stuff  there, lots of rockets in the main display with Tanks shooting at each other, the largest bonfire they'd ever had, was most excellent.

Ours used to be awsome, been every year since i was about 2.

now there charging, think £10 to get in and stand right at the back, £20 to be a bit closer to the stage and £30 to be right at the front of the stage in a special area with only 200 other people or something. theres a few acts performing before the fireworks tinietempah to name one. isnt bad for £30  cause a tinytempah ticket would proberbly be around that anyway, however ide rather go stand in sainsburys carpark with my mates and watch/listne from there for free :D


have a look for a local fireworks speshalist. theres one near were i work called magnesium fireworks or something, im going to go there and get a few rockets ect. have a look on there website toom think they do delivery, not sure how far they go though and weather thery have shops all over england or just the one.

Going to your local can't be as much fun as watching your mate trying to fire them from his ass crack??

heh, ours is free  :smug: no bands or musicians though, but tbh I want to go down there grab some sh!t burger and fries, watch them light the bonfire, have a look around at the fair, put the kids on a few rides then make my way over to the fireworks before it gets crammed and watch the show :cool:

Without sounding racist try find an Asian firework shop as they will have some cool stuff, may be on offer too as its Diwali at the moment.
