Popping round everywhere here...

Any bad memories of your mates fingers been blown off or how much they piss you off?

Super-Rush · 15-10-2009 12:42AM

You should never stick a banger up your arse at halloween

mattfender · 15-10-2009 12:43AM

anytime of the year at that.

I miss fireworks. They rarely miss me though.

Where my mother lives in Santry we used to have a really hard time with fireworks and bangers around this time as our house backed onto a large field which would be populated by all the unruley youths in the evening with their illegals.

For the past 2 years the field has become home to a group of travellers. There's no more problems with bangers and fireworks from local youths.

admiralofthefleet · 15-10-2009 12:53AM

used to have a laugh with them when i was a kid but didnt do anything stupid. kids go too far nowadays throwing them through the letterboxes of old folk:mad:

What is it with bangers? Are they cheaper or something? I actually like fireworks (to be set off on halloween and halloween only) but why are those stupid things popular, and going off weeks before said night, I agree, there pointless :P

Back in 1992 we threw some off the canal bridge at the ravers.
One landed beside their stereo and blew the tape door off. The tape flew about 15 feet.
Then one of them started on my friend and got his ass kicked.
Being a teenager was fun.

My friend's nephew broke a couple of bones in his hand last week by trying to be a hero and holding a banger.
Dear lord, that kid is thick as ****.

Do they still sell them on Moore street?
I walked by there about 3 weeks ago and it has all changed. Nobody offered me any bananas or apples and they don't have those shoe stalls at the back of the Ilac any more either. I had a McDonalds though. That was nice. Apart from the chick who kept trying to clean my table while I was still eating. A double quarter pounder meal, 6 nuggets, a hamburger and extra fries doesn't ****ing eat itself.

I live under an airliner flight path into Dublin airport. Sometimes they swing low over the houses. Last Halloween, the game was to try shoot down a 747. Yes, there are morons out here.

The amount of dead hedghogs that show up with bits blown off. Neighbours dog lost it's face after someone lobbed a banger over the back wall.... dog snapped it up. Had to be put down.

The scrotes responsible for that deserve to be sodomised with a box of lit Black Cats.

I liked that dog.

admiralofthefleet · 15-10-2009 01:14AM

they still sell knock off gear at the back of the ilac

mattfender · 15-10-2009 01:14AM

17 years and no rave at the canal? lets get this sorted

That was the only place I could ever get them in my size (Child's 4).

It was Confey station, not Louisa bridge.
I think we scared them off.
I'll have to ask them. We're all grown up now and do do petty kid stuff.
It was funny as **** though.

I is from Confey. Now they all have noisy cars

Coriolanus · 15-10-2009 01:35AM

Ahh, I used to love bangers. Nothing like a mini war between all your mates in the weeks coming up to halloween.
Best of all was the big rockets that you'd shoot out of a piece of gutter pipe with a handle and all.

starbelgrade · 15-10-2009 01:38AM

When I was a kid "bangers" meant 2 things;

1. Fireworks (in southsider language)
or
2. Someone who played on your soccer/ GAA team who was over the age of the team you were playing for (usually someone who'd guarantee you a win)

No.1 should never be stuck up your ars*.

No.2 - blah. How much do you want to beat an under 14's team, you sad tw*t?

Call Me Jimmy · 15-10-2009 02:15AM

I remember I was about 12 and we were training (football) and some fat-**** nonchalantly throws a banger onto the pitch as he strolls by. Landed right between me and the defender! I mean... who throws a banger at some kids playing football?

He is probably impotent right now so I can take solace in that at least...

same thing happened to me in school a few years ago! :mad:

artanevilla · 15-10-2009 05:56AM

Someone let one off in Croker this evening.

Joey the lips · 15-10-2009 07:27AM

No bad stories thank god lots heard though.

I never understood bangers. Alway thought them to be sh1t. Rockets,screamers all that stuff I got but bangers. Stupid...

Additionally I have never met a kid that has not turned mischevious with bangers. Weather its blowing up bottles,Rabbits,Letterboxes or tapeing to windows.

In fact I say it now if you buy your kids bangers this year your a direct contributor. Buy them rockets. or better still buy them sparkles.

I use to have a neighbour that was a janitor in temple street that was 20 years ago even then there was loads of people in from the begin of october with damage. They seem to go from september now.

Dancor · 15-10-2009 08:09AM

I dont see why the goverment does not just make fireworks legal. They are very easy to come by and not very well policed. Some extra revenue would do no harm.

Plug · 15-10-2009 08:17AM

I remember a few years ago when I was in school there were a few younger pupils playing handball in a handball alley so I thrown in a rocket at them and closed the door.
Im quietened down a good bit now:D

phasers · 15-10-2009 08:20AM

I fucking hate bangers, my dog was in the garden once and almost ate one that hadn't gone off yet. My other dog is terrified of them and they're loud and annoying

petes · 15-10-2009 08:22AM

Bangers pff. Throw some pressurised cans (lynx etc.) on to a fire.

Aren't most dogs really afraid of fireworks? I know any dog I had they were.
