Under Rocket attack !!

[bad boy]

Evening all,

Just thought I would share yet another eventful commute through the pleasantries of East London.

This time cycling down behind city airport on my way home going down Albert road I think just past an estate and all of a sudden a hear a whoosh and then see a rocket shoot by just in front of me followed by a bang as the firework emitted its pretty array of stars.

The little s**ts were obviously aiming it at me but to be honest its got to be a lucky shot to get me and all I did was laugh at them as I thought it was a rather pathetic attempt. All though you never know what tomorrow might bring, judging by the estate they could roll out an old scud !?.

ahhh, this is the year that I can finally fuse my bike with a jet engine..... (might give it a miss and stick to pedal power tho)

Can only hope one of them gets a firework blow up in their face - of course it WON'T BE THEIR FAULT!!!!

 

[lukesdad]

Im finding this out it never is their fault.

No doubt if it did blow up in their little face your see the mother on the BBC news blaming the council and the shop her precious little son purchased the fireworks from for not having a fireworks license and selling underage !!.

A couple of years ago I found out just how many Police Gosport has on patrol.

he numpties across the way decided launching roackets at passing buses and vehicles was fun.... until they hit a Police Car.

Within minutes the house was floodlit by Police Vehicles and all of the Household and guests removed. Apparently they would not give details of who was guilty so all 20 got carted off to various nicks... and the naughty Police then made the all find their own way home as well!

Bet that taught them !?, my boss was cycling down the romford road last year shortly after the snow fell (mad I know) and the local youths were putting stones inside snow balls and throwing them at him as he went past !!, ingenious I thought if only they put this much effort in to their homework or finding a job.

My least favourite time of year. The old favourite for local neds is where a kid presses the traffic light button, and when the traffic stops, WHOOOOOOOSH!

I'm suddenly reminded of numerous scenes from the Jackass movie

I had some kids do that to me last year. They were aiming the fireworks out of a peice of drainpipe like a bazzoka. While it wasn't a rocket it was a repeating, screeching exploding thing and I was simply lucky that they had no control over the direction.

No doubt if it did blow up in their little face your see the mother on the BBC news blaming the council and the shop her precious little son purchased the fireworks from for not having a fireworks license and selling underage !!.

Indeed. About 10 years ago now I went away for the weekend and left my car in the car park of the flats I was living in at the time. Some kids then decied to use it as trampoline and when they had finished they set fire to damn thing.

When I got home it was dark and didn't see the car, but I did find a note from the police in the flat asking me to report to the police station as soon as returned, I was inquisivitive to say the least and a little apprehensive. So I got the car keys and nipped out to the car only to find a burned out wreck.

Naturally I assumed this was what the police wanted to see me about. But when I got there and gave them my details etc they told me that a kid burned his hand on the flamming car and mother wanted to press charges and they were investigating whose fault it was!

Naturally it all came to nothing, and the insurance sorted me out. But the kid's mum's instinct was to blame me as it was my car and therefore I must have done something careless in the first place to encourage her child to jump all over my car and burn it out!

Did you tell her to sling her hook?

Perhaps you should have said to her you would kindly give her kid the hiding it should have had from it's parents years ago .

I suppose the chances of injury are low due to the fact that most fireworks arent heat seeking or very controllable but it is for me the fact that someone sees someone else as being a target for explosives, a bit of fun that potentially could cause a really nasty injury, but you would get in trouble if you hit someone who did this to you.

 

[Bman]

When they are firing as you quote, "explosives" at you!?

I think a little slap could be regarded as reasonable in those circumstances!
