well hello all.

its been a long time since i was on here last and its a shame my first post for ages has to be a warning to everyone.the lesson i learnt was dont tell or trust people that liv around you.one such family across the road used to watch my fireworks every new tears eve for years.they loved them and thought they was brill.they already new that i made fireworks (as a hobbie) and researching compounds.then one day back in may i had a falling out with that family.at 8.30am the police came knocking my door(along with health and safety fire officer  ambulance and not forgetting the good old bomb disposal team)..i was arrested and cuffed on the spot and taken down to the police cells where i was treated like a terrorist(even the special branch.has got involved).now this is my 25th year as a pro in this field of work.i got complacent and lazy in my old age and did not destroy old projects like your suppose to and they was not to happy with what they found.i am now on police bail till 22nd december waiting for a decision from the CPS.moral of the story is keep ya head down and keep your workshop nice and clean and make SURE you get rid of any old projects so that they dont stack up and become a problem if things go wrong.and DONT fall out with your neighbors if you can help it.if this case goes to court and it makes the local paper then i have been told that my firework career will prob be over.so plz do your best to make sure it dont happen to you.

Some how I don't think you will get an honest answer, but all the same it is a very traumatic experience.


Freud. Artists, in this view, are people who may avoid neurosis and perversion by sublimating their impulses in their work.
