Speaking of which, can anyone explain why, in this era of Health and Safety overload, in which the Nanny State involves itself in every minute aspect of daily life, it is still regarded as perfectly acceptable to buy explosives and set them off in the privacy of your own garden?
Remember, remember the 5th of November
An experience to avoid - counselling clients during the evening of November 5th. The repeated explosions in the immediate vicinity are not conducive to a peaceful session!

Nerves of steel were more a requirement, Craig! ;)
Don't be a spoilsport Jenny! It's called tradition!
I'm not denying that, YP but I find it amazing that the 'nannies' haven't yet cottoned on to the fact that it's a 'dangerous activity' - that's what they usually do with anything that's fun, don't you think?
Good point - they should outlaw it at once!
An excellent point, Jenny! The one thing I'd really like banned and they won't do it! Huh!! *Pouts*
