Fireworks are freedom?
#7
RE: Fireworks are freedom?
I think it's a good idea not to sell fireworks to the public but to have co-ordinated displays.

Every October here fireworks go on sale for a couple of weeks - the only time of year they're (legally) on the market.

On Guy Fawkes night they're supposed to be used and that's it.

I have neighbours who, at random times of the year, set of fireworks and scare the hell out of my cats (and set off the neighbourhood dogs). Because they're in range, being only a couple of houses away, I stand on my deck and pelt them with eggs.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
