fireworks - i personally regard fireworks as "burning" (scuse the pun) up money
i prefer to buy something that would last me at least as twice as long as a packet of fireworks (ie. a 1/4 pack of herb, 1-doz beer, even Petrol - lasts me in some cases a week and its more valuabble than fireworks)
Plus fireworks scare my Cat.

My brother & I were unsupervised this year. We're not very responsible, even though we did the quiz at www.bigboom.co.nz & got a certificate!!! It's stuck on the wall. Anyway, all we had a lame little bag, but we held stuff that was meant to be stuck in the ground & leaned the big ones on angles & then had a bonfire & destroyed the evidence afterwards. I love fireworks, they are teh w1n!

i had to work, stupid fucking office christmas functions and their drunken people.
Anyway, thanks to guy fawkes they stopped my suburbs bus service, unfortunatly they didn't tell anyone. stupid wellington city council. so i waited for 30 minutes for a bus to work..... then decided to walk a few stops along as the bus didn't seem to be coming, to find a tiny bit of paper stuck to the bus stop saying the service was being stopped for guy fawkes.
I'm going to make an angry call to the council tomorrow, as those signs weren't there when i went to work this morning, so therefore I had no idea.... and the other guy at my bus stop had no idea.... I was really late for work as a result..... running downhill while trying to explain to my boss why i was going to be late wasn't fun.
also, I'm pissy because i didn't get a chance to go blow my hard earned money on some fireworks.

The solution is to buy a few bags, pour petrol over them, and then flick a match from a *safe* distance. Alternatively, use something slightly less explosive than petrol.

Smoke bombs are cool! We got Kaleidoscopes, which are pretty cool, and Magnolias, which are cooler, and National Salutes, which are even cooler still. We had beer and weed. We started by lighting 2 or 3 kaleidoscopes at a time, then when the neighbours 2 houses away started doin the same to upstage us, we whammed back with a mega national salute/ magnolia cocktail (2 of each), wooohoooo! crazy shit!

Walked down to the harbour with good friends and watched from the docks- wrapped up under a travel rug even though it wasn't that cold- watching the big fireworks shhot off all the way up from the barge in the middle of the harbour- watching sparks drizzle all over the crowd on the other side of the harbour- laughed at all the try hards letting off roman candles after the big ones went off (obligatory golf clap)- walked home again for hot chocolates, face hurting from happiness...

When I was younger, a friend of mine lived in view of the Validrome in manukau, we used to sit on her garage roof on Guy Fawke's night to watch the show.

That would've been a perfect viewpoint. You should've seen all the lights switching back on all over town!

Haha, I found out it was Guy Fawkes Day yesterday by looking at this thread today. Oh well. :) I wonder if anything even happens here in Melbourne.. I was walking a dog after dark last night and didn't notice anything. Well, I saw the dog and stuff, but no fireworks. ;)

i was lookin foward to it much so, but my rehearsal finished just as the fireworks in wellington started:( so i raaaan so fast up to the roof of this apartment building and saw the last 2 minutes and it was not worth all that running.
Bah, you didnt miss much anyway ...
Bah, you didnt miss much anyway ejectorbabe. We stood on the wharf making exaggerated "Ohhh" and "Ahhh" noises. The "finale" was a downer. Big bang, all finished ... or was it? 1 minute later a small, green, lone firework flew into the air and fizzled pathetically. Yes, Guy Fawkes was definetly over. We headed up to Indigo and heard even better booms and bangs of the dnb kind. And broke the light above the pool table. Guy Fawkes ... meh.
yes yes i saw the loner green firework ...
yes yes i saw the loner green firework fly up after the "big finale" but it was lovely watching random fireworks going off everywhere.... quite strange that the kids next door were letting off fireworks at 5 in the afternoon on guy fawkes you couldnt even see it.

some people played with fire works up on the hill above our town. the rest of the town didn't need fireworks, they watched the hill catch on fire. i missed it, but apparently it was very pretty.

i dunno bout new years (ill be as usual asleep by 2145 and sober)
even tho i think fireworks are really just Burning away your weekly wages i think i might buy some for March 23 or 4/20.....i do admit watching fireworks while off your knocker of green has got to be the best.
