Wonder who will be first to fire one, Id love to get another one to 'test' in the run up to the 5th

I also want to 'test' a rocket to see how quiet they are :rotfl:

I can feel the urge growing to fire one of those diddy rockets tonight, wonder if I will need ear defenders..

does anyone know of a supermarket doing packs of roman candles

JTF do a pack of 5 for £1.99 I think, 10 shotters too, although bound to be small pearls etc, nothing noisy. I did get a pack of stonking things from Sima, 25mm bore, 5 shotters, 4 pack, £7.50. I shall fire those in a fan

Fire one!!

If we get a nice night over the week I may fire a couple of the tiny fountains, Im sure when ive had them before Ive been quite surprised by there effect

Also, was wondering, how do people fire in a fan? Do you fuse them up or just light em one after another, ive always wanted to try it (and I also have 4 identical candles spare) but always think I wont have time to light them all in time.

The rockets in the Pyro time pack are no more than a little pop, no other effect. (Assuming nothing has changed from previous years).

Think I will, it'll go something like this :

1) Carefully place rocket in launcher
2) Mop brow
3) Take deep breath
4) Light fuse with trembling hand...
5) RUN yelling FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
6) Fizz..... fart... done

:D:D:D:D

Here's the Sima candles Tricky :

Most of the fun will be in the lighting

Didn't really expect them to be upto much, but for £5 for 20+ fireworks it works out at like 20p per piece- great for a little fun, guessing how quiet it will be :rotfl:

Do you remember the actual effect from the Comet bomb? Small fountain then boom of 'stars' Im guessing

them candles look nice si7 and i had a good pack of candles 2 years ago from tesco they were £20 for 4 but they was very loud and they havent done them since wish i had a jtf or sima near me for the little things like that

There is no fountain. Think of it more as a one shot barrage. lol But the one shot is excellent. A large thud when it ejects from the tube, a very large bang and a large burst (peony effect).
