Fireworks, or more to the point rockets, or more to the point focing massive things that tossers send up without a care in the world where the foc the massive stick and hard plastic shell is going to fall ON MY CAR focing put a dent in the wing, anything over the size of a candy floss stick should be banned, these things are about 1/4 inch thick wood and 4 foot long. I also had one stuck in sharp halls gutter. We get it in october with de-wali and it seems that the bigger bang you can get means you are more respected in "your society" because it shows that you can afford the biggest.
So, last night I popped out to have a couple of beers with a mate, and I'm sitting outside and I feel what I thought was someone slapping me on the shoulder?
I looked around and there was nobody there then saw the remains of a firework that had landed on me.
THEN, we were walking towards home, and my mate lives on the other side of the main road so said our goodbyes and I start walking up my road.
I heard a car pull into my road and slowly pull up just behind me, but didn't take too much notice, then I felt something hit my foot and heard a hissing noise.
Nope, it wasn't a snake, but when I looked down it did resemble a stick of dynamite.
The bastards in the car had broken the stick off a large firework then lobbed it straight at me, then put their foot down and sped off up my road, the cowardly bastards.
Meanwhile, sensing that maybe I should do something rather sharpish, I ducked down then ran towards a tree hoping to get behind it, but the rocket was luckily aiming the other way and screamed off in the opposite direction then exploded, but obviously showering me with sparks on its way.
So, that just about reinforces my views on fireworks, they serve no purpose whatsoever other than noise and danger, especially when in the hands of a bunch of c***s.
