My dad bought some crappy one's for the back garden. Can't really be bothered for a public one, grass gets ruined and muddy so your shoes get sucked in etc..

But the crappy ones for my backgarden we missed a tree by like 10"

And we stuck some into the ground and nearly set the grass alight. Oh dear what is it with us men and fire :yumyum:

i mean - we don't celebrate christmas day two days early on a saturday just because monday is... um, 'less convenient'.

The gits in the council estate near my house start fireworks 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after...literally 1000s every night...and thats where our tax goes

Cant even let the cats out at night its that bad, you think its stopped then...b00m - its like a wars going on.

Ya fumes, too much rubber, plastic and etc.

Does supprize me tho that a bunch of pc enthusiasts havent sorted out some kind of chimney-funnelled/environmental-can`t stand closer than 20 feet kinda deal.

Idea being, u make a day of it and travel to the area, u bring all the junk u not got a use for, or is broken or is just a pita. Start of the day, scroungers can give u pennies for stuff u want to get rid of or swap or whatever - much drink, much food - end of the day all the equipment gets stacked and stuffed with combustables, and it`s all fired up.

Nah ur taxes go towards nice warm buildings where coppers can hide away from society and nice ott fast cars to get them to the food store and back without doing much else.
