[Music] Effing Fireworks on Christmas Eve???

Winker · Dec 24, 2018

Does anyone else remember the indoor fireworks you used to get in Christmas crackers? There was some sort of tissue tube you set light to and when it burnt down it floated up into the room.
Then there was some snake thing where a squidgy muck shot out of the firework and an indoor volcano or something?
Those were the days, but you tell the young people of today that - and they won't believe you.

My boss once let off an indoor firework at our Christmas lunch and covered everyone’s gravy with glitter. ****.

The indoor fireworks were awesome, completely forgot about them! I used to be fascinated by the 'snake' thing as a toddler, which later progressed in to a fascination for party poppers until i was about 5.

Ha! Just ordered some on Amazon to show my kids what they are missing.

Had the same near us tonight. Found the dog hiding away upstairs. Not happy, no need for it. Some people are really very selfish.

Bonfire week and New Year’s Eve is fine, Christmas Eve no.

To paraphrase Monty Python, that’s luxury that is. We can’t afford Xmas eve fireworks in East Brighton. Live in shoe box just off A259.

Just parked up at Littlehampton Tescos and saw a Chinese lantern whizz past about 100 foot above me.

On its way to Gatwick for another 3 days of chaos

I believe it started when the Magi from the East came to visit the baby Jesus. They brought their fireworks to Bethlehem and set them off. Ever since the land of Isreal has had fireworks at Christmas time.

We had them last year from amazon. Not as good as they used to be though.

My abiding memory of indoor fireworks was that most of them resulted in what looked like a dog turd emerging onto a plate accompanied by choking acrid smoke.

Like a bad chef, we lack confidence at Christmas in this country and just keep adding exotic ingredients.

In a few years time it will be traditional Christmas fireworks along with Secret Santa, jumpers that light up, Iberico ham and prosecco.

Hopefully post Brexit Jacob Rees Mogg will lead a military coup and enforce the more traditional elements of an English Christmas such as Morecambe and Wise, poverty in the East End of London and Ferrero Rocher.

I did a secret Santa at work and I'm about to have an Aperol Spritz with some ibérico ham. Just need a jumper that lights up to win doing Christmas wrong bingo.

Never spoken to him. But not sure why the uk should be setting off fireworks for those occasions. Do you celebrate them?

Look at you.....we usually have left over turkey

I used to be addicted to left over Christmas food. I eventually got over it by going cold turkey...
