No different from times past m80.

Same shit happened when we were young.
I even remember a bunch of derps in 7th form who seemed to think it was fine to have Roman Candle fights...


I congratulate you on ruining their fun! :)

(Assuming the cops even did anything at all... which I'm unfortunately skeptical about)

I remember back in high school, when someone thought it would be smart to light fireworks off on the field. They didn't seem to realise trees are quite flammable, leading to a massive fire.

Questionable whether fireworks stupidity is increasing or decreasing.

youth of today are worse I believe.

Yes we did stupid things, but I do think we had a little more respect

Not questionable. There's always been stupidity:

Unicol Dunedin in the '80s. Two towers, skyrockets in bottles: 'fights' between towers. Someone loses an eye.

ChCh '90s: a friend was with people engaging in hijinks: one guy in polyester shorts (sports shorts? lol) gets hit in the groin with a Roman Candle. Shorts melt. Burns to groin, including penis. Scabs kept cracking when cracked a fat, apparently. Nasty.

Just two episodes in a long line of stupidity.
It continues to this day.

Oh definitely, and the women were hotter and more available.

Dunno what planet you lived on Growler, but we were a complete bunch of fuckwits with fireworks when we were kids. Pure luck got us through it. Not so good for the frogs though.

^Psycopath lol :P

Even back then I didn't do that sort of thing. It was more building complex bunkers for my toy soldiers and blowing them up [glee]"take that, army boy, take that!"[/glee] or putting tom thumbs and pohas in matchbox cars.

Double happys were every growing boys demolition kit, or throwing a string of hundreds of Tom Thumbs into mailboxes and running like hell. We were lucky. the worst injuries I ever witnessed were just a some hand injuries from idiots holding onto double happys too long.

We used to have sky rocket wars, but no-one ever got injured in the ones I was involved in.

What's the best .gif maker? One that can accomodate for larger higher quality gifs.

Older versions of photoshop have imageready which is easy and should handle bigger files (cs1-2 is good).

Hefty download.

use GIMP. Make each frame a layer, transition time in brackets on end of layer title. Safe with .gif extension. Done.







But what I think Spork really wanted to ask was "how do I make an avi?"
Because there's no such thing as a high quality gif.
600Mb and 30 seconds long? LARF

Yea, well I actually intend to use my pool afterward, so destroying the lid wouldn't really work too well, especially as this thing is like 20 years old, so probably not replaceable. :P


Also, welding is the act of joining two things together in a rather sturdy fashion. I've no idea how you got from "LOL plastic weld" to "you should totally melt the lid off". What I meant was that maybe someone had put the wrong shit in there, or the chems had been in there so long they'd become caustic and melted the thread together (meaning you couldn't get the lid off).

Just so you know.

I got some in-ear things, but while they are good I just don't like shoving things in my ear-canal. Can't be good for your hearing eh.

Word of warning.

Stay clear of Boundry Road Brewery beers. Specifically The Chosen One (golden ale). Tastes like glorified Tui.
