They're noisy and dangerous and you have to stand in the cold to watch them

I've always liked them, I like the feel of the bass of the explosions in my chest.

Plus I work between two displays in London so it gives me a job.

Having said that, they should be banned for use by the public because the majority of the public are fucking morons and can't use them responsibly.

    As a great man once said:

    Agree with everything you said. The feeling and noise is part of the experience. It's like when you go to an airshow and the jets make all the atoms in your body vibrate.

    But yeah, they should only be used by professionals at authorised displays. I think a lot of people get annoyed by them because people set them off randomly over the course of a couple of weeks.
