Fireworks

[lily]

Grrrrrrrrrrr so mad, just driving out of Tesco's car park when two kids decide to throw a firework at my car!

I'm so mad.... no damage as i stopped and it exploded infront of me.

I've always hated this time of year so much never liked fireworks and this has kind of made me hate them more!

:mad:

Couple of years ago when was in car, used blank firing pistol to really send some chavs sprinting in every direction, over walls and stuff. Funny as f##k

Why didn't you run them over? Seems reasonable to me......

Yes I don't seee what need to sell fireworks here, they have been going off for what seems like weeks here now. They are only meant to be 4 days a year when then are meant to be set off, FFS. Though i haven't had any thrown at me this year so far.

[mrsgid]

hey lily i feel the same bout fireworks

[the_lone_wolf]

yep, seems like self defence to me


"your honour, the youth threw an explosive projectile at my vehicle, and i took it as a direct attempt on my life, so in self defence i used the only weapon i had to hand in order to defend myself against the aggressor, perhaps the rest of his life he'll spend sipping meals through a straw will give him chance to contemplate his actions"


if only:rolleyes:

[hovis]

you should got out and beat them up.
or pushed them in the thorny bushes, to leave them scared for life

isn't that what i do to you! ;)

[lily]

By the way they are all good suggestions but instead i just drove of, I didn't want to get involved with them or kick off at them as you never know what they might have done.

Not yet it ain't (well in scotland)

Fireworks can be used in public on any day of the year betwen 7pm and 11pm with extra dispenation for 5/11, 31/12 chinese new year and diwali.
can be sold from 15 oct-10 november and 26-31 december and the three immediately preceeding days at chinese new year and diwali

though you'll find there is growing support for these four days to be the only days to set off fireworks - but its not through yet unfortunately.

I hate them though i love to see the chavs being injured by them - just doesn't do our stats any good.

I used to have a right laugh with fireworks years ago, don't see why it should be spoilt just because of some wonkers using them as weapons. As usual legislation would only effect people not inclined to break the law in the first place.

i like the public displays but feel so sorry for the dog. he is terrified. someone was setting them off the other night and tye was terrified.

All good fun til someone calls in a "nut in a car wiv a gun". Didn't work out too well for the last nut in a car around my way.

Indeed. I have a great laugh with fireworks each year, I'd hate for them to be banned outright outside of public displays as some people would like. The idiots who buy blackmarket fireworks and chuck them at people would continue to do so, you'd only be punishing the law-abiding majority. The real solution is more coppers on the beat around halloween and fireworks night and much harsher penalties for throwing fireworks around the street and prosecuting in cases even when no one is hurt.

I would suggest getting out of the car and putting some firework down there pants to blow away there dogs danglies/rabbit holes. Gives you a good feeling and stops them breeding...2 birds 1 stone me thinks

[Baph]

Lily, I sympathise.

Years ago, someone decided it'd be funny to launch a rocket at me, whilst I was sat about 25ft up in a tree with a friend (hey, I was a kit then).

My friend took the only sensible route down, inside the tree (narrow gap). That left me with the only other route, jump or be hit.

So I jumped, and landed wrongly on wet grass. The long & the short of it was a broken right wrist, a shattered right heel, and spinal shock due to impact on the coxix. :(

I still walked home though, and I did get payback later.

Have stepped over one ricocheting of Portland tube in the middle of the day (kids eh :rolleyes:). Have also pinned the throttle after some tit lit a monster on the central reservation of the A4.

"What's that tit doing kneeling in the middle of the road?"
"Oh he'sjust lit an enormous firework"

1/4 mile time was a PB :eek:

Yes, an incredibly bad idea. Then again being anywhere near that particular car wasn't too clever either. Was still funny watching them run away in terror.

[hovis]

isn't that what i do to you! ;)

yes you big bully :(
