i set off Lord of The Nights barrage pack from aldi £19.99 i have to say i give them 9/10, theres 3 barrages they are simply amazing they go very high and multi-colour double burst about 45secs each , and the 2 100 shot mini roman candles ,shots little red/green stars about 10ft, very quick over in about 10secs but very good will be getting this pack next year, Recommended! also got morrisons selection boxes "buy 1 get 1 free" the £39 boxes, set them off aswell i give them 7/10 most of the fountains were the same and are quite poor, the barrages are pretty good got 2 32shot and couple of good mines and the rockets are very good burst for how small they are, also bought lidl Blue Apollo Rockets £9.99 will definalty be getting these again, double bursts different colours each time amazing 10/10 for them!

Oh and Jindivik, I noticed in your picture you've already let a few rockets off? What were the Supreme Rockets like? I have a pack, so good to know beforehand, especially the biggest ones?

sorry for the late reply, not had much chance to get to the computer............. the supreme rockets were the best of the bunch.......by far, all of the men shun rockets were a real let down....more of a *pop* or *pfft*, but the supremes and mega rockets packs were some of the best i've had so far

pretty decent sized burts with a nice loud bang

Hey, no worries, thanks for letting me know. Shame about the Men Shun ones though.

Wow, thanks for the nice comments about the pic of 'wot i got', as for the cost, thanks to a few till errors and 1/2 price deals, it was about 250.00. i haven't bought fireworks properly for about 7 years and from what i remember i paid more then for less than what i've got now. sad thing is that apart from lighting the tiddlers tonight the rest are for saturday and the weather looks rubbish from the long range.
just seen a brilliant civic display here in plymouth, all co-ordinated with 'music from the movies' - breathtaking. god forbid i ever grow up and say things like 'it's money going up in smoke'. time to jump off a bridge if that happens.
love to all

Thats a fair old wedge of fireworks for £250!

[MiniChris]

Nice selection their Minichris, looks like a lot of Rockets poking out of those boxes in the background!?

Have you fired Fire One before? Got one this year but never tried it yet.

The pictures of the rockets are a page or 2 back Ive never fired one before so I cant wait... going to dual fire it with the golden eye at the same time!

[Daedalus]

Well this is my firing order for Friday night. Just hope the weather is OK now
