I am SO happy! :-)

Thank you!

You KNOW who you are! :cool:

i would love to be left out no longer. could you fill me/us in on the happiness in your life?

[bernie]

I feel left out as well. Sounds great whatever it is.

[Rhodri]

Happy, happy, happy!

You know that feeling when you've managed to sort something out that's been evading you for ages then it all falls into place.

Well, that's the feeling.

All to do with small rockets and the creation of their spindles.

I have the power!

Am I still being too cryptic?

[robert johnson]

I'm happy too! Even more so when I get paid.

[Pyromaster2003]

o ok then, i get ya.

OMG the Rob spoke again!where you been?

[adamw]

What I have deduced so far: Rob has made a spindle for Rhodri? Is that where you've been all this time, making a rocket spindle?

[robert johnson]

Unfortunately I have to work every now and again. [ be it far and between ] but luckily I don't have to far to travel, Italy and Spain are quite close.
Expect to see some extremly fine pyro on the shows this summer and winter,none of the ordinary chinese pyro.High quality and affordable shells and candles will be docking at Felixstow in the next 6 weeks.These shells and candles offer high density colours and superior round bursts with a fullness of colour rather than the colour of orange from many a shell burst. Arriving shortly after are some extremly nice Maltese multi break shells.When these arrive I will give you guys an opportunity to come along and see for your selves just how good this pyro is compared to the ordinary material that dominates the market .

[brocade]

right on Rob Maltese multi break shells proably the best multi break shells availible Italian canisters and spanish multi shot comets. All far superior in quality and effect from anything that comes out of China. Don't get me wrong i think the pyro that comes out of China is good value for money but an awfull lot of it lacks any real quality control and I feel there's nothing worst than going to some large hyped pyro display to find the whole show is made up of poor quality Chinese and no good quality pyro.

I've seen gear in China, that sure equals if not supercedes the quality of spanish and Italian items.

As with everything, it's a matter of paying more for it, and having a good relationship.

I say this, having been working with an Italian owned factory in China trying to get some Italian multibreak shell effects.

I'd be interested to hear what Italian shells you are importing Rob.

Mr Brocade, I agree with your views on the Chinese pyro yes it is good value for money but that is exactly what it is. I know many companys that use Chinese pyro with out any knowledge of Italian,maltese, Spanish, British or even the American pyro [ this keeps Berni happy]
By the way Mr Brocade where have you been? Do you have to work as well? Hopefully you will be able to come over again soon.

[bernie]

Good pyro is good pyro. Who the heck cares where it hails from.

[adamw]

And the same goes for european items. I have seen my fair share of 'pap' ('crap' Bernie) Italian and Spanish items. You really should visit China soon. You will find that there are a lot of factories producing superior material.

[yanhua]

Exactly, too many people let the illusion of origin get in the way of material choice.

For the most part I would say that the really 'GOOD STUFF' is wasted on the general public/displays. You know it's better and I know it's better but they don't. They like it for sure. Can they appreciate the complexities of some of the effects/colors etc? I really don't think so. Perhaps the availability of fireworks and the expectations of a US audience differ than from the UK. All this is intended to convey is that the UK audience is much more appreciative.
Competition between display artists is another thing entirely.
No matter what the case may be, I know one thing for sure. I LOVE FIREWORKS.
