Greetings!

No stories? No explosions? No mayhem? Or do I have the wrong date (5 November)?

Usual stuff. Nobody was injured.

Given the current paranoia about terrorist attacks I was waiting for the police to knock on the door when I was sitting in the front room gaffer-taping roman candles and air bombs to lengths of plastic drain pipe. By the time I had finished it looked like I was going to strap them all to my body and wander off down Redhill high street...

...and the back garden still looks like it is setup to fend off enemy tanks (or paratroopers). I must go and remove the selection of carefully angled tree stakes later.

No explosions?


I think that if that were the case then we'd definately be hearing about it

hmm...no new emplodes either, eh?

I bought four packs of four "Proton Bombs" this year - outdid everyone else again except the pro display in Portsmouth (obviously!). £1.20 for two bangs that are *way* louder than people who wasted £30 on a rocket!

I used two packs yesterday at my cousin's house and have two left, a 19 shot cake ("Mars Nuke Attack") and a pack of Kimbolton "Achilles" rockets just so my mum doesn't complain that I only bought noisy stuff!

Blew £60 on the lot but well worth it!

Darn,
Every time it gets around to Nov 5th I always kick myself for forgetting to buy the fireworks before July 4th and save them.
Its a real pain not being able to buy fireworks in October!
Oh well, maybe next year
