msg11

Well, look like its that time of the year, we are in the middle of Iraq down here..

A few of these bad boys in operation ..

Think it's the guy letting them off.

They're really pissing off my dog. Won't stop barking. Fecking dog

AFAIK, fireworks were banned in the republic because they were afraid the IRA would make bombs out of them. What does it say when even 9 year olds can source them from the black market?

Yet another advantage of living in the sticks.

They started already!

You can't even get them in the UK at this time of the year without special reason.

I really hate this time of year. Just because of these things

I use to live in the sticks but I remember I was riding my horse one day in a field beside the road and these two little scum bags threw about 4 bangers at me, que my horse going nuts and me falling off. I quickly called my dad and we chased after them in the jeep, there were loads of mumbled sorrys and tears while my dad thought them a lesson......never saw them again, hmmm

"...blew a hole in a metal saucepan(bet mum loved that)...4 second quick fuse...this ones bent for some reason... These are great fun for messing around with I LOVE them..."

Well gee what could possibly go wrong :pac:


Why does he constantly refer to america and dollars? Is he fecking exporting them the wee cute soon-to-be-one-armed-entrepreneurial-bandit :P

I really don't understand the appeal with bangers/black cats. They're fun for about 5 seconds after they go off then it's just meh. Maybe this is the reason people strap animals to them :mad:

Always a load of travellers selling them at a nearby farmers market on the October bank holiday Monday before Halloween

I always remember sticking two black cats into a large tub of butter and throwing it onto someone conservatory. I remember the wet splodge as butter pretty much covered everything in sight.

You can still make a bomb out of farm fertilizer...if you want to blow some body parts off.
Not a lot of quality control goes into knock-off fireworks, the fuses may burn quicker than expected, good bye fingers.

Well losing their fingers might teach them a lesson!

I remember reading about a case in the US a few years ago where someone's brother in law wasn't invited to the family barbecue, so he nipped round and threw a firework over the wall. Unfortunately the family dog picked it up and got its mouth blown off.:(

I like them actually....live beside a not so nice part of Dublin so I'll hear them every night until Halloween.

As long as they keep their bangers to themselves at the luas stop we'll be alright.

They started last week in my area. There's a little patch of wasteland beside the motorway and all the little knackbags congregate there.

To be honest I'd be quite happy to let them blow their fingers off if it wasn't for the annual stories of dogs and cats (and ducks ) being maimed with these things. Makes my heart break and my blood boil every time.
