I defiently prefer organised displays...i'd happily pay a small amount even for a family event and display! (besides they are way better than the poxy fireworks people pay a fortune for and suck anyway!!!!)]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:32:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235704&title=guy-fawkes#235704 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : they do a big one out at brighton...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235594&title=guy-fawkes#235594 Author: my2angels

they do a big one out at brighton pier but its always a mission to get home from. they need to do some all over town so more accessible for everyone i reckon. Last year it took my sister almost an hour to get home from and she just lives in burwood! Vanessa would have a prime spot for it though]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:38:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235594&title=guy-fawkes#235594 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : Totally agree Robyn Wellington...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235587&title=guy-fawkes#235587 Author: LuluBelle85

Totally agree Robyn
Wellington has such a cool display every year.
Does Chch do anything?

Last year in wellington people were letting them off in the heavy crowds down by the water front while we were waiting for the display to start. We were so angry, they were being pointed left right and centre. So dangerous. People got really upset as it was so densly packed with people. Anything could have happened.]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:20:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235587&title=guy-fawkes#235587 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : i hate them. would much rather...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235535&title=guy-fawkes#235535 Author: my2angels

It is such a shame that the few idiots out there ruin it for everyone. Personally I wouldn't mind if they were banned - though I'd feel sorry for people who enjoy and use them responsibly.

We don't tend to buy them as we don't have a lot of space to let them off. Plus we live on a hill overlooking a sort of gully so we get great veiws of everyone elses fireworks at no cost to us ]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:46:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235378&title=guy-fawkes#235378 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : on sale for just three days this...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235370&title=guy-fawkes#235370 Author: Bombshell

on sale for just three days this year and there will be an age restriction and also a restriction on the amount they buy

I love that idea as last year kids round her ran out so went back bought more and fireworks went on for weeks....we have dogs that live outside and they freak out

But then i might go get some sparklers and introduce Ella to them...and it IS our wedding anniversary that night too...off with a bang! ]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:40:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235370&title=guy-fawkes#235370 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : We were driving along last year...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235349&title=guy-fawkes#235349 Author: Nic01

We were driving along last year & went past some teenagers driving the other way who were holding those roman candle fireworks out their window & shooting them towards passing cars. I was so mad!! (& so glad I had the windows wound up at the time!) It's such a shame that a few idiots ruin it for everyone else.
I hope you manage to get some for your daughter's birthday though.]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:15:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235349&title=guy-fawkes#235349 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : kebakat wrote:I wish they would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235343&title=guy-fawkes#235343 Author: 11111

Yeah restircted sales but if that doesn't work then I read they will be banned completely. Thank freaking goodness, I agree with Kebakat, too many idiots and I'm over dealing with freaked out animals and reading of the number of fires and injuries!]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:53:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235334&title=guy-fawkes#235334 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : I wish they would just ban them...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235315&title=guy-fawkes#235315 Author: kebakat

I'm so glad the age has been raised, 14 was way too young! Hopefully they still have sparklers they are so fun but last year people used them to make bombs or something like that. There always seem to be a few the ruin it for the rest of us.]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:22:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235309&title=guy-fawkes#235309 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : I think they go on sale 2nd Nov...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235299&title=guy-fawkes#235299 Author: Leelee

i think they are but they are only being sold about 4 days out rather than 10 or something like that and they have raised the age you have to be to buy them at last!]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:59:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235286&title=guy-fawkes#235286 <![CDATA[Guy fawkes : Does anyone have any idea if fireworks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235282&title=guy-fawkes#235282 Author: Helen21

Does anyone have any idea if fireworks are going to be sold to the public this year or not?
Miya was born on guy fawkes so for her second birthday we thought we would have a bbq then let off some of those fountain fireworks, the ones that have all the coloured sparks come out but don't make any noise(no idea what they are called) she loved them at the public display last year so I thought it would be a special touch.]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:56:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11778&PID=235282&title=guy-fawkes#235282
