  • £40 mmm! not a huge budget but i would get
    1 ipanema
    (both for £12)
    1 24 carate
    1 liberator barrage pack £20
    2 cyber boxes or 1 fire pack

    that would be a good selection for just over £40

    I saw some Black Gemini rockets today, pack of 5 for £20. On the back they said 'part of the cosmic group covered by safety etc etc 1988??? Does this mean they are this old?? Sorry not very clever yet about fireworks. Does anyone know if these would be a good buy and whether they would be safe to use....they looked huge!!
    Goal weight....lighter than when I started :D

    Yep they would be fine and legal to use, where did you see them?
    Ps: They werent made in 1988! thats just when the british standard that they must comply to was put in place! they are old stock, but were made in (aprox.) 2005-2008. LOL



    Lol oh thats ok then....they were in a local seasonal fireworks shop which has popped up near my mum in hove, east sussex. they had nightstar stuff and a few other things, I went in the other day and they had quite a lot of stuff but wen't back today and they were practically empty! I got the gemini rockets in the end as they looked so big and impressive! Has anyone ever used them before...please tell me they're good ones???

    Ive got 2005 black mamba rockets hope there ok :beer:
  • To go with my stash I've also brought the impanema, firefighter and that other one! lol A crappy pack of little rockets.

    Our little party is on sunday and I still need to get some smaller kiddy fireworks, I like a couple decent rockets and 1 big cake or something with some power :)

    I'm thinking of either doing a trip to Hooties or Latifs. Or is there somewhere near Tamworth/ Birmingham you'd recommend. I have a budget of around £50. mmm sounds a lot to ask for £50 :D
  • monsterberry will you be videoing the custom cake as i would love to see it. If you do can you email it to me
