Fire Work Displays!!!

[pablo12]

I was disgraced last night when i got to the firework display in dulwich village sport's ground last night with my 3 children, when they were looking for ?10 each to get in, i have never heard of that in my life and i have been to a few in my day's.I told the lady i hadnt got that kind of money, and she just looked and continued to what she was doing, i did expect maybey ?5 for me and the oldest, i went to battersay last year what was 5 FOR adults and it was a grand display, fantastic choice of song's to go with the display, but that lady last nite would have just watched me n my children walk away, and their was only 20mins left their was no Humilty their at all with lady with tickets !!! very sad

Oh dear

Poor you.

This one in Dulwich was fantastic.

Only a fiver ( kids under 10 free )

Hot food, a proper bar & a Guy Fawkes on the fire.

Back home in time for X-factor.

NETTE:-$

[zeban]

That's ridiculous that they would charge that much. I guess just never go there again. There are so many other displays that are either free or cheaper than that.

[pablo12]

cheer's nette, its not that im a scroog, the best of us hav'nt got that kind of money, and 50 just to get in the door then what you spend in their,it is a bit much:-S

[zeban]

Absolutely pablo12. Hope you find somewhere better next year.

The Brockwell Park display was excellent - and free.

[Senor Chevalier]

Indeed - Brockwell Park surpassed my expectations. I'm always a bit indifferent to fireworks after a couple of minutes, but a pint in the PR and then fireworks to music from the last 200 years was really excellent and all paid for by our neighbours over in Lambeth...

[pablo12]

Their was no music playing to fireworks were i was, and it does make a difference, i think their was a little at the start before the display and think nit was coming from someones car! A joke it was, especially from dulwich village

[KidKruger]

Pablo head to Brockwell next year you'll be sorted.

Must be cool to have one of those top floor flats in the tower blocks over the road from Brockwell park..

Given that this is what we are capable of can someone explain why we are still fascinated by burning piles of wood.

Hyper Facade Berlin

Incidentally if you want to recreate this on your house in ED, they mapped the facade of a real building in Berlin, then created a virtual image of it, then put the real building in darkness and projected the virtual image onto it along with computer effects. Honestly it's about an afternoons work and about ?50, your kids will think you're so cool.

C pal was good. ?5 adults ?3 children.

Because fire's tangible, and hot, and destructive, and dangerous, and evocative, and romantic, and primal, and smells great, and sounds great, and stirs the imagination, and you can cook potatoes in it.

Whereas that's, you know a powerpoint presentation with delusions of grandeur.

Whereas this powerpoint deck on the other hand...
