Voted hot because I hate people who vote cold based on personal preference rather than whether or not it's a deal

It's not foolish to spend some of your income on entertainment. A nice bonfire, some toffee apples and some hot jacket potatoes with chilli, a couple of fireworks to entertain the kids - all adds up to some enjoyable family time on cold autumnal night.

​German supermarkets I'm with you bro

I know what you mean,the word Aldi even makes me cringe

The words all dog owners dread.

Cheap explosive, made in China, bargain..

I'm also curious, you do that and I'll go and say "fireworks at Aldi" to a different dog

we must find out what these dreaded words are ASAP

Voted cold simply because I dislike fireworks.

Haven't voted either way, but you're literally watching your money go up in smoke.

Fools and their money.

I think we are going to need video evidence of your dog trying to play pinball to confirm this. For science reasons of course.

Voted cold because I can

I'm with you on that bro.

Nov 6th:
"You smell that? Do you smell that? Fireworks, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of fireworks in the morning."

Time to annoy the neighbours dog again. Voted hot.

I am, also generous with buying rounds since I don't blow my money on things that blow up.

​All ruined by some cheap fireworks

BAN THEM

Nice to get one back on all the times myself and my two toddlers step in the local dog muck and pass those little black sacks full of crap hanging from the bushes. NOV 6 BRING IT ON BABY!

sounds nice round your area lol

Good stuff, had a big single-ignition pack from Aldi last year and it was excellent for the money.
Some baked potatoes, oxtail soup, fresh baked bread and hot cider, do our display early then sit back and watch the neighbours efforts!

A deal that can literally blow up in your face.

Personally, I'll stick with the free council display (free ticket already booked).

No doubt on the night I'll be seeing loads of chumps outside who couldn't be bothered to book a free ticket and then wonder why they're turned away at the gate - fortunately for them there is an Aldi not to far away that opens late where they can buy the same fireworks the kids are buying ("honest bro, that's me driving licence - I know, everyone says I look young for my 50 years of age. School tie, nah bro - I'm in the Masons!")

Bonfire night.
When I look across the council estate and realise austerity isn't working.

This is so true and your kids will remember it for years. Still vividly remember such an event hosted in our neighbours back garden back in 1970 when I was 5 years old.
Fireworks in a Peak Freans Family Circle biscuit tin, the grown-up lifting the lid and letting us sort through all the wonderful coloured fireworks looking for the next 'wow' we'd get.
Guess some people didn't have childhoods with many great memories, probably didn't climb trees as they didn't have a harness, make and fire a catapult (much too dangerous), craft a Chinese arrow nor the thrill of emptying bangers to make genies.
I tend to avoid these type of people at work, let them gossip and pontificate amongst themselves :smiley:

A&E get ready.......

You're literally p*ssing your money down the drain.

This deal has brought out all the riff raff.

Don't look at me like that...

Spin the ALDI Wheel
:smile:

My kids love fireworks night, they talk about it with excitement throughout the year so the £30-40 we watch vanish in smoke over ten minutes or so is in reality actually good value. We spend that on going to see a film at the cinema and sometimes they hardly remember it after a week or two.

Last year besides our own evening we also for the first time went to the local Rotary club's display at our school. The display was OK but it wasn't that cheap, it was very crowded and we had to queue for food for ages, so it ended up rather stressful. Certainly not the relaxed, homely, steeped in family tradition, joyful event our fireworks night is.

Perfect discription

​it's the dog owners that dread these words, whatever they are - not the dogs themselves.

​you are literally watching your money be flushed down the loo. Or into the nearest gutter.

Always brings a smile to my face when I drive past the local council estate on bonfire night. Banging on about austerity and having to use food banks when the place is lighting up like a fecking Christmas tree!!
