Bonfire Night & Fireworks... - Saxperience

Luke · 5th November 2006, 22:13

I'm not looking to start a debate, I just want to know your opinions in general.

Last night I was at my Girlfriends having a little bonfire and fireworks. We had 3 boxes of fireworks. Is it me or do a lot of people find Bonfire Night/Fireworks pointless?

Fireworks are quite expensive, some are naff and do nothing, some explode - literally and tbh ain't that spectacular.

I wish they would just ban Bonfire Night, all you can here is them banging away right now and pissing me RIGHT off. The amount of Bonfires that actually go out of control aswell...

So what's your opinions?

celebration of burning a christian.

say no more

i agree about some of it, i think they should have a curfew,

i mean some people set them off like 2weeks before and after bonfire night! and at stupid o'clock!

they are sooo expensive too, i went round my cousin, the best one was probably the catherine wheel!

and it all came to over £100! so pointless...

Seriously mate you sound old before your time. If anything I think bonfire night is more for kids.

I went to a display with Ash last night and the fireworks were magnificent but only went on for 20 mins so over all was a big let down. I don't think I'll bother again til my friends daughter is old enough to appreciate them.

The catherine wheel we had just exploded in front of our eyes.

I just don't see the big deal in them, they go up and bang. Woohoo, NOT! Lol.

I'm not moaning about it, just don't see the big deal. I could think of more interesting things to spend my money on.

IMO fireworks are well pointless unless they are loud as fuck. i wouldnt bother buying them unless they are extremely loud. if they dont bang there shit IMO.

only prob is the loud one's are illegal. and only imports are shithot.

dean_plunton · 5th November 2006, 22:21

dont buy any ?

m20pub · 5th November 2006, 22:48

kelly i went to a display that was 20 mins long but i bet there they wernt cheap 20 mins is about right for a display,
i agree there expensive but its only once a year i got 30 rockets for 12 quid
its only a bit of fun but the kids love the display ect so i personaly think its fine

Luke · 5th November 2006, 22:50

I never appreciated fireworks when I was a kid tbh, probably because we didn't have much money.

it dont cost much to walk to your local display or dirve or get the buss

Luke · 5th November 2006, 22:54

Like I said though, I never appreciated them as a kid. I never asked to go to display, so that's how I probably ain't too bothered about them.

willsy · 5th November 2006, 22:55

They annoy me when theyre going off at all times of the night and the small ones are pointless.

The best ones are the loud ones- me and my mates bought one called 'The Landmine' a few years back which cost £50 and was supposed to be insane....

..the result being...

scared the life out of us and was so loud it shattered the windows in the shed.

Leo · 5th November 2006, 22:57

Somebody get grandad his slippers!!!!

I like them, its not something you see every day and its only a coupla days a year. Some are really good too, the gigangtic ones that light up the sky etc. its all a bit of fun, cant beat that bonfire night smell either

Luke · 5th November 2006, 22:58

Leo, no need for your sarcastic comments. I didn't wanna start a whole fucking debate about it, just asking peoples opinions.

Nathan · 5th November 2006, 22:59

me n my m8 spent 50£ on a 500 shot Firework box called End of The World, we bought the loudest you could buy and they were insane!

i can see where your coming from the because when it was over we were like that was 25£ each just gone up in smoke! let them off in the garden too and i live on a small estate and your could hear the windows clattering!

Was alaugh but defo just go to shows n stuff next year. it happens once a year, so why not!

And you just got my opinion, so you meant you wanted everyones opinion to be the same as you'rs?? a bird said you sound over your age, didnt mention that.. grandad

rushy_23 · 5th November 2006, 23:03

My points of view in brief:
there expensive
they are fun
they do seem pointless but you have to enjoy them when there going off
kids enjoy it more than the older ones (well supposidly lol)
the rubbish and smoked let off by them is horrible (as bad as littering)
oh and finally I like the loudest ones

We have just been outside for about an hour and a half lighting up ours. Spend £180 in all but felt it was worth it as my cousins enjoyed it and my little bro had a laugh. Trash everywhere though now...

Not being funny Leo but Luke knows me and would most likely know that I'm only having a giggle when I say he sounds 'old before his time'

chill winstone!!

Luke · 5th November 2006, 23:08

As Kelly says, I know she is only having a giggle because I know her sense of humour etc.

I was just saying what I thought, did I say I was a Grandad? Everyone has THERE OWN opinion about the whole thing. I'm not a typical immature 18 year old..!
