The poor excuses that are sold these days is a far cry from what we used to use before the politically correct banned anything worth lighting a match for. Kinda pisses me off as its not really helped reduce the amount of problems caused by fireworks, so why ban the cool stuff? :argh:

Agreed, the animals here are all going to be spending the night in tonight, although its amazing how long it takes some people to burn the stuff off. Or for that matter, how much cash people are will to waste on these things. Bring back the Army controlled public displays with the original bamboo fireworks.

I lost my cat one guy fawkes night just after we had moved from the lifestyle block to the town environment, got her back 3 months later thanks goodness. I had a black lab who hated thunder, used to shiver and carry on. One Guy Fawkes noght we had a bonfire and cracker and I locked her in my laundry thinking she would at least be inside and secure. She got so upset, she attempted to dig her way out through the floor boards......poor thing.

Yep I tend to agree with you there, I remember blowing up all sorts of stuff in my youth! Still have to say I am pleased to be past the time where I have kids that want them, and certainly past the time when my son used to dismantle them and make his own, leaving multicoloured holes in our lawn.....LOL Bet my neighbours are too!

Actually meant Guy Fawkes nights.
We get about 130-150 calls / year.
But then only 3% of those would be false alarms or pfa`s, the rest are made up of MVA`s about 90 % , House/Vehicle/Property fires would make up 7 %

Most stupid law ever. Lets limit Kiwi's to buying fireworks for 2 or 3 days a year. So what happens, they go out and buy a huge stockpile of them and stick them in the shed or spare room to use for the rest of the year. That's so much safer.
WarlockNZ
3rd November 2007, 21:20
well ... i did the right thing and rang the local FD and told them i was having a bonfire and what not ..
There is no way i'm paying the call out fee if some kill joy calls out the fire dept on me ..
on a side note ... did someone say rockets ??? ... hmmmmm ... sky-rockets at night ... everybody sing along now ... lol.
I was under the impression that rockets were banned ??? .. i havn't been able to find any. :(

I reckon the new R18 thing is a load of shit, I might give it a try anyway, I look older when i've got all my bike gear on.
Maybe once they sell them to me I'll let them off in the store to celebrate.(jj) :rockon:

What else can you expect from a government that treats us all like children.
Do as we say, not as we do!
Look at the smacking bill and they way that they carry on, saw a Labour man bash a guy with a loud haler on telly tonight.
Just like Mallard bashing Tau Henry....do as we say not as we do! Two faced bastards. (IMHO) :yes: John.

Your not getting off to a good start on this site are you boy?
Lets examine your comment shall we ..
1. "those aren't explosives dipshit" , hmm interesting, the primary ingredient of fireworks would be what?,' can i get a show of hands?? .. thats right you TOOL, its gunpowder .. ohhhh thats right, gunpowder is an explosive.
2. "those are just a few shitty sparklers", while i'll grant you that there are a few "shitty sparklers" in the pile, the majority consists of things that would take your hand off if you arn't carefull, perhaps you should consider getting glasses??
3, "are you about 12 or something?", that would be so cool, i would love be 12 again, that way i could have everything done for me and mouth off without thinking about the consequences of my actions, oh what, thats what your doing.
So, in summary, what have we learned?
Well, we have learned that you have no respect and delight in making comments that are either stupid or abusive, i've said it to you before and i'll say it again, if you have nothing constructive to say, just shut the hell up, for a new member to the site, you are not making a very good impression.

That would be way cool if I was 12 again. Back then they sold double happy's and sky rockets to anyone who had money. I remember buying a brick of Poha double happy's (a hundred packets of crackers) and causing mayhem and destruction for the night.

It's funny how sparklers have to be solds as part of a "package" deal of explosives! :lol: "Oooarr.. people make sparkler bombs out of them is what!"
And yet, in our very kitchens and under the laundry cupboard are gems that are far more explosive in effect!
I'm still waiting for the right chance to use my floating battleship and aircraft carrier firecracker package ... along with the firecracker tanks that actually trundle along before being hit by the equiv. of an APFSDSDU round :devil2:
Was amazing how relatively quiet it was last night without those fun little crackers o'fun (tom thumbs, double happies and the legendary rare, thunder crackers)
Now, where did I leave that cocoa powder....

The Swoop had his annual bonfire the other day... getting rid of garden trimmings before planting the veggies, etc.
Bloody new neighbours that have moved in! I might have to file a complaint with the Waitangi Tribunal for "preventing traditional ceremonies":done:
