Born Hunter 17,956 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Well my village did the annual reenactment of the f***ing Blitz on Saturday night! What is it with working class areas having to launch more ordinance into the sky in 3 hours than Syria has seen in 3 years? Every square foot of garden and yard on Sunday morning had the remnants of a rocket of some sort! Pretty sure I could have put a 250 slab through the auto in the garden and no one would have heard it never mind been bothered! LOL 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 There was one I was trying to think of the name of. It was pinky/red plastic rectangle, taller at one end than the other with a row of holes along the thin edge that fired tiny rockets. i think you were supposed to nail it to something but we used to fire them hand-held. damned if i can think of the name.

bracken boy 584 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm so glad I hated fireworks as a kid, the most stupidest think ever celebrated, in my view of course. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsteve9999 456 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 It was sign you were "hard" when I was a kid to hold a banger and stick your hand in the canal till it went off. You could hardly move your fingers for ages after you'd tried that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,837 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 When i was about 6 my gran bought me a little box of indoor fireworks. Well.she said they were. Little miniture things that we lit on a saucer. Can remeber a strange black thing that once lit started growing like a worm lol. They still do them, i was looking at them on eBay a couple of days ago because I was telling my missus and kids about them. I'm pretty sure it's the same box my mum bought for us nearly 30 years ago too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
