Of course you can buy them without license, just take my attitude and F the G.

It is stupid but this is the tip of the iceberg. As someone within the chemicals industry, I can tell you that you have no idea how much hassle there can be because of the potential for explosives. I understand it totally but it can be a major hindrance for the NI industry because Ireland and mainland UK have no such regulation.

Actually, this prompts a question.

On the mainland, yobs with fireworks are now quite a serious problem. Years ago, it was impossible to buy fireworks until a week or so before bonfire night. The police also took a very dim view of them being let off on any other night.

So, given that the authorities now complain of this problem, who exactly legalised year-round firework sales?

Not to sound like a Victor Meldrew,but they're a pain in the bum.They may be great fun for the kids & all that but I'll bet not many people think about the pets & even young children who are scared witless by the bangs & whooshes.
My old cat Orbit used to go & hide under the bed & even peed under there when these things go off he got that stressed.
As to the yob's with fireworks,the police need to take a tougher stance with them.A few years ago,I was heading up to Antrim to trade in my old car for a new one,as I approached the Fort William junction,a firework went screaming across the motorway only a couple of feet in front of my car,if I'd have been going faster,it would have hit my passenger side.

Isn't the only point of fireworks to shoot at the police?

Any chance someone could ban this troll? (or at least point out to him that he comes across as a pathetic child, rather than amusing, as he appears to think he is)
