nope, far too well brought up as a child.
Nearly got hit my a firework at an organisaed display though. The rocket fell over as it was about to ignite and went off at a low angle. It went about 8 inches past my right ear through the only gap in the crowd. Didn't even realised what had happened until I saw my mother's shocked face. You have absolutely no time to react - they go off so fast.

You're not alone I did as well, but it was generally in fields in the middle of nowhere and doing stupid suff like attaching them to model planes. Neither me or my mates ever fired them at a person or put them through folks' letter boxes unlike some of the kids today.
It's been suprisingly quiet around Highbury/Essex Road so far this year, but I bet I've just jinxed myself saying that.

Anyoone in Woolies the time some little fuckers shot fireworks into the queue? That was 2003. The year it seemed to be de rigeur for kids to shoot them off at the High St shoppers St Saturday afternoons.
Sorry to hear it's kicking off again. Not pleasant and not funny.

A neighbour has just told me the reason my house is a target is because I'm the only one in my little block of houses that has a chimney (more of a tall vent really) and they're trying to hit it as target practice.....

Well it does explain that time you said all you could see of my place from your flat was a barrage of fireworks going over the roof.....

It has come as a a relief to know it's the chimney that's been singled out and not me personally....I was starting to get paranoid....apparently it was a favourite target years before I moved in......it's metal so makes a satisfying clang when the missile has found its target

Someone must be very bored indeed!

Be nice or I'll bite
There's a small wood/forest type thing behind my flat. So guess where the smart arse kids are setting off their fireworks now? Why do I think this forest will not be around for long...

Our cats couldn't care less about firework bangs and appear not to notice.
They can, however, hear the opening of a bag of Science Plan from the other side of the garden....

I don't know. It's the stuff the vet sells - they like it but they tend to be a bit disappointed when we give it to them. We call Whiskas kitty crack.. they go absolutely nuts if we give them any Whiskas stuff.... that they can tell if the local shop has had a delivery....
