Fireworks displays


Recommended Posts

Several threads on the forum here already.


Dulwich tennis club (I think), Brockwell Park, Crystal Palace are three I noticed.


Brockwell Park free, Crystal Palace a fiver for adults, don't know about the other (smaller) one.

Well the Brockwell Park fireworks were brill, and much better than I remember Crystal Palace being last year (and free, too!) but getting out of the Park afterwards was an absolute nightmare.


I was so glad I didn't have kids with me, and amazed if noone got hurt.


Total bottleneck at both tiny entrances at the Herne Hill side, with no pedestrian crossing at the main entrance (Railton Road end). People were trying to climb over the railings to get out, and apart from a few police etc at the actual exits, there was nobody apparently to give information about what was happening to the massive queues.


Buses were rammed too, had to walk back to ED :))

Had you had a few last night Declan?


The Latin is a common phrase, indicating even people you trust doing the same as everyone else - in this case Leagle starting (yet another) thread on fireworks


Mild joke admittedly -


Asking admin to include a search function is another mild joke - ie there IS one already. Nowt to do with any "connection"


Why is it mean for you to specifically as about slinking away? I used slink away because


a) "slink" is a great word

b) the whole post was a silly arc of a joke, with the "punchline" being the equivalent of "I'll get me coat"


This place is getting way too serious

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they  are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats.  Lucky car driver obey the rules the rules then. Oh wait.. https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/06/car-crashes-into-primary-school-in-south-london-wimbledon
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
