Festival-closing firework display - Sunday evening @ The Marina

[Spun Cuppa]

I'd been to a couple before last year's effort, and had been a bit disappointed, so was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be MEGATASTIC!!!!

35 minutes of non-stop pyrotechnic wizardry!

Don't know if this year's is by the same bods, but will be there in any case

Normally kicks off around 9.30pm-ish

Stunning!

I might take the kids.We have had a Topsy turvy day. Might just head to the pier watch from there.

Caroline Lucas is lighting the BLUE touch paper apparently. Should be a blast.

Would love to but Mrs is not a firework person.
Maybe I should send her up?

We will watch from Attic room now .......doubt we will see much. Might hear some!

What an amazingly still night could hear all the fireworks and music from about 2 miles away. Sounded good!

Won't that add to global warming?

I had gone to the cinema and came out with full intention to go home, when my exhaust fell off the car meaning I had to wait 2 hours for them to sort it out. The big upside was the fact that I got to watch the display.

Fireworks are the most boring, predictable, tedious, moronic form of entertainment it is possible to put on. I just can't see why anyone would find them remotely worth watching after they've watched their first display at the age of about three.

Went down there last night in good time, and was treated to a sensational display, albeit a ten minute one, that was better than last year's in content, if considerably shorter...

Swings and roundabouts and all that

What did surprise me though was a lack of people who were actually there
The Big Splash day at The Marina was scheduled to finish about 6.30pm., so perhaps people didn't hang around. Coupled to this that not a lot was written about it in the programme, so perhaps people just weren't aware?

Ho hum
