They had loads of timerain which I love, a few crossette shells here and there, quite a few cakes with bee affects. They had a really nice set peice which was a 2-3 meter arc with fountains all ofer it then after about 15 seconds it started spewing out green stars with gold tails every which way, this went on for another 20 seconds. to start the show they had a nice big Ti salute and after the finale they set off another Ti salute.
Enough about other peoples displays, I made myself a 20 piece cake. It had candles, fountains, charcoal swirly things with reports and a few mines at the end. The fountains started off and the candles, as expected were crap because the stars were very fast burning so they didnt even reach the outside of the spark cover, and both of the side fountains stopped a while before the middle one for some reason and they just hissed with no sparks.
After a short time the insert part kicked in. * pop * one swirly goes up.... before it get the time to go bang *ttthhrrrruummppp!* every single bloody tube took fire! Only 4 of the insterts blew up at the end because of being blown blind.
Any way after watching the tape over and over and staring at the debris I came to a conclusion. When you/ if you download the video you will notice that the fontain to the left had actuallt blown its nozzle out when the fuse at the bottom of it lit (to light the next phase) and when it did this it sent up a mist of burning iron and charcoal, as this mist came down to earth it landed onto the cake and passed fire to all the tubes....... Atleast i hope thats why, otherwise ive got a LOT of work to do
The video is *here*
Enjoy.
