I can't believe what just happened - ds2 saw smoke in our garden when I got there it had gone but could smell it, looked over our fence (no houses behind just a track and a brook) saw a young boy messing with a carrier bag. Went out to him and asked what he was doing, he pointed to the carrier bag and I couldn't believe my eyes it was full of fireworks, not just garden ones either - huge display ones. I was horrified and took them off him he wasn't English (Polish I think) I asked where he got them and he said his mum got them for his birthday!! I asked how old he was and he said 14. He didn't even know how far 25 yards was and had been about to light one with a safety distance of that!!! Anyway I took them from him told him where I lived and said his parents would have to come and collect them from us. This young man could have killed himself - there must have been £100 worth of fireworks in the bag. Rang the police and they can't do anything suggested the firebrigade - so they'll sit in my garage for now in case mum/dad does decide to collect them. Sorry this is off thread but (to quote Victor Meldrew)I just can't believe it!!

Blimey IDA (sorry, can't cope with all the letters!!), that's outrageous. Good job you caught him, goodness knows what would've happened.

Well done.

Okay Joek, we'll let you off this once, men will be men. Football rules on a Saturday. Compensates for what you have to put up with when it's TOTM I suppose!

Cheerie-bye for now!

I've missed him again!!!!!

IDA - Good job you took them off him, he could have really hurt himself or someone else!!!!!

I'm here for you teecee...

Although...what with Dr Who and dinner coming up, it might not be for long!

What a sad life I lead!

Actually...no. Scratch that. I have a really good one! And it's very nice that I can share that with you lovely people!

Joek - you're back!!!!:j

I will forgive you and I completely understand the football thing. I am the manager of an u15's junior football team myself!!!

However the dr who thing has me stumped i'm afraid

Just nice to know you still care after what we've shared:rotfl: .

From a purely selfish point of view...if the parents don't come to collect (and I very much doubt they would), I wonder whether (nearer the time of course) you could do some sort of fireworks party?

Everyone brings food, you start up a fire and bung on a few baked spuds, and have a grand old time?

got our 12 yr old niece with us tonight - oh joy. Hit puberty in a full way. Kids not in bed yet - or even fed (had a late lunch, not starving them - honest!) and I've started on the wine. Tempted to jon the swingers thread but I'm not very goo dwith innuendo - I always just sound rather creepy rather than funny

Thanks for being so understanding teecee

IDA - very scarey - if they don't come are you going to get the fire brigade to get them? Perfect excuse for a drool in my book!!
