People think that UFO's are proof of aliens. So much so, that a government admission to such a sighting is an admission of Alien encounters.

Therefore, supreme and undeniable logic allows the idiot to be - rest assured - that Area 51 is an alien repository.

Nobody ever seems to wonder how aliens can traverse the Galaxy or maybe the Universe - yet still be limited to a crash landing on earth.

Then you go back to the source of the story, and remember that a UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object, it tells you nothing more than the letters it stands for. It means that the government bodies recognise a sighting of something weird, and that's where the definition stops.

It is so easy to discuss things to a point where any anchor to reality is lost, and listening to ideas has no bearing what was in question to begin with.

Read the law, ignore anything else.

I have watched this conversation for some time, and I'm struggling to follow the footprints back to where it started.

Now, either get a grip on the hobby you love, or walk away from it having talked yourself out of it.

It has become that simple.

Most of you will have read what I have said in the Pyro-Gear page. Join in the conversation. What is there to lose?

Stand together for the hobby you love, or divide and bicker where we actually agree - because that seems so much more betterer [!]

Incomprehensible rant finished.

 

I can't be 100%  sure  :unsure: but I think what Niall is saying, is just get on with it.  We know what the regulations require of us and its all still viable so let just do what need doing and get back to pyro!

I know Niall well enough to say that it is what he is saying Wayne, it would be nice to talk openly about amateur pyrotechnics and not legislation for a change.

 

 

Couldn't agree more!  Can't wait to get back to the main subject!

There is no restriction on 100g of explosive. There is no license requirement for up to 100g in terms of building separation distances.

Explosive applies to explosive article also unless specified otherwise.

Once you have made your article. Which you may fuse and assemble for display purposes, you have a firework. Note the law for firework possession, recognise the categories and how the laws apply to the device you have constructed.

Observe health and safety law. Observe firework behaviour laws. Observe public order laws. Maintain common sense.

Keep safe, be considerate in your every activity, have safety response options and if you do get a knock on the door, it's because you have caused it by not observing the above.

Now let's see what 100g can achieve..... You'd be shocked.

I wanted to put a firework video up, but I've been so busy in the charcoal shed, that I've got nothing new to add. All that is about to change though!

However, as I looked through the videos, I found something really quite apt.



My only annoyance is that as much as I love the summer, the light is starting to lengthen. Now's the time to light the sky up and show off your skills.

If we're going to have a pi**ing contest, at least make it in your best blues with a deep red finish!

Do you have many of the 19mm x 190mm tubes left ?

 

Are they strong enough for rockets ?
