shame this forum doesnt have a ignore button, then i wouldnt have to read posts like this again

I do love a bit of irony

I would recriprocate matty, but as you haven't had much to say in the 8 years you've been here, I think I'll chance it and not do so. Not that you'll be able to read this of course .

i have the opinion that if you do not have anything usefull to say, they do not say anything

your first post shows that you do not have the same opinion eh

I guess it shows the type of person you are, judging people by the amount of posts they have made :rotfl:

Ironically Chinese lanterns are banned in some parts of China precisely for these reasons.

They were setting them off at Download Festival 2 years ago, the camping field is directly underneath the flightpath for East Midlands Airport and the planes are actually so low you can see faces in the windows.

They are dangerous, even with the improvements of removing the wire from them recently they pose risks to wildlife and grasslands, especially in the drier summer months.

My teenage daughter has been begging for some for years, I finally sat her down and showed her a few reasons via google why she should avoid them like the plague. This image being one:

I was talking about this last night and discovered that launching these lanterns is now illegal in certain parts of Thailand.

The Thai's will probably enforce that as well as the smoking ban in air conditioned bars and restaurants!

How about one of those polls on that site the government are supposed to take note of if you get 10k replies?
