Bonfire night..
Heehehe, Bwah ha ha ha
So as a pre teen i could walk into many different places (newsagents, corner stores and so forth) and buy fireworks for about 3 months of the year around "cracker night"
OMG the stuff we did.. We stopped using a pvc pipe to fire cheap 5/$1 rockets at each other when one flew between someones much younger brothers legs and exploded about 2ft behind..... ( We "just missed" his nads, This is how we learned stuff back in the day :)) )
The Tom Thumb, a tiny little 3/4" long cracker that came daisy chained in 1-200 packs were the best, we would would seperate them out and throw them at each other as a game, when they went off, it was a 2" ball of white explosion, they worked out at around a cent or so each in the early eighties, affordable by all lols.
That said i remember a few going off inches from my fingers... They are all still there... But there are a few who weren't so fortunate.... Many a tale of missing fingers was told ..
-Expletive- pansies these days :laughing-rolling:
