I'm off to my gf's parents for a New Years gathering. I asked a squaddy mate to get me some fireworks to set of at midnight and he's come back with some display things.

There are 5 rockets about the size of milk bottles and a roman candle thing about the size of a milk crate, 9kg and 1.3kg of explosive. Looks like I'm going to invade a small country but anyone got any advise setting these kind of things off? I dont want to burn their house down

Do you really trust your mate? that is the question.

Terrorists can be quite misunderstood.

Yeah he's sound. He says he has a mate who does it for a living. Maybe theyre that big cos they have a guidance system in them. Straight to Downing St from Cheshire!

Firework display... yeah that's a good one.

C'mon, you're just trying to bump off the potential in-laws.
