sipar69 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I dont have a licence but the guy we volunteer for does, and he does it out his own pocket plus whatever he gets back on tickets as far as im away! the set up was manic! soo much wiring as its all done choreographed with the music too! I've actually got my own remote firing kit. I think it's a 32 bank. Made my own rocket launching device a few years ago. 10 rocket tubes on a rack, wired up to my remote unit along with 22 other fireworks and sit back and relax just pressing buttons. It even has a special key, just to make you feel like a right pyromaniac!! Would love to get back into it again but fireworks have doubled in price over the last two years. Sounds like something the Russians used in WW2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Brede Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Me and my ex have two dogs that live with her one loves fireworks and the other is scared almost to death by them. They are brothers and have been bought up together in the same way so I don't think it is a training thing.What I do find funny is the fact that everyone goes on and worries about terrorist threats yet we still sell dangerous explosives in the supermarkets?

Mudman Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I am ex military and lived in village locations near training areas where loud bangs were common place. Fireworks ? Meh... Try 12 AS90's laying down supressive arty support. I like fireworks. I enjoy the smaller scale public displays ones (Anmer, on the Sandhurst estate in Norfolk is very good and a bit of a secret up until now ! Doh! ) and doing my own thing for the kids - but they are pricey and as Mum used to say - "Fireworks are money up in smoke" I like it that we have a society where we have the freedom to buy and discharge fireworks any time of year to cover all celebratory events. I don't agree with the views of anti firework lobby/pet owners but would die for their right to express their opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Brede Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Me putting my view in bold lettering might not have been the right thing to do,I'm not anti firework. I was just trying to make the point that people bitch about terrorists threats and then go and by explosives from the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it would be much the same where I live now, but as newcomers of just 2.5 years I think we are looked on with some suspicion, I'm told it takes around 20 years to be completely excepted LOL!
