after that step away from the lighter you dumb fucks (not you whoever it is that is still letting them off on dec 2nd)
as a pet owner it pisses me off as a human if you like fireworks and want to let them off year round then when my dogs shit themselves i shall see to it that they shit themselves on your front lawn twice a day until christmas
no fireworks for us this year we live on top of a hill so we just watch everyone elses
looks like rain on the 5th so i might just chuck some aluminium foil and a couple of empty air freshener cans into the microwave for a couple of minutes

The tossers have been letting them off for the last week and it will continue until after New Year. I think Rosko is immune to them now.

I lit a huge fire before fires are awesome speshly when its large and varied goods you know a couple of couches an old tv with the tube still in is goood paint cans old turps bottles and nothing says fire like an old tyre my signature item is a mattress queen better than a single obviously they really light up one time dad gave me and my brothers a job for the school holidays said we could share $500 if we tore down the old tractor shed and stacked up the corrugated iron reckoned it would take us three days he left us to it and went off to work i put the old thinking cap on and came up with a handy dandy idea i set fire to the ancient dry framework it burned away in about twenty minutes and we picked up the corrugated iron and the lead head nails and knocked the job out in an hour i probably should have taken the hay bales out of the back of the shed and moving the tractor would have been good too but dad had started hiding the keys from me when he found out i was pulling my brothers around the paddock in an old milk crate but i digress the fire department came out i was given a jolly good telling off (have never been hit by either of my parents) dad never ponied up the 500 which ticked me off but i stayed schtum about that in the interests of self preservation the fire department had to come to our house no less than three separate times before i was shipped off to boarding school fire rules

I love Fires too. When I was at the Flower Growers place, they used to set fire to the dried Biddy Bid (Cleavers) that ran rampant over the raised beds of Nerines. That was fun to watch it race down the rows.

we had this old tree stump just outside the fence but on the side of the road big one couple of ton stood about 4 meters tall old macrocarpa stump dry as a dead dingos donger
dad used to complain about it because the mowers skirted around it and it looked scruffy
well say no more dad you let little weasel take care of that shit i'll get that stump outta there lickety split i saved it for a surprise
when i burned it to the ground a few days later he was surprised and damn pleased as well it went off without a hitch unless you count the leaping flames burned thru the power lines above it and knocked out power along our whole road for three days
fire department #2 and a stern telling off

I used to regularly set the scrub at the Gonville domain on fire. The fire engine had to park on my back lawn to reach both the blaze and the water connection

yup yup yup fire dept #3
ol weasel was experimenting as you do out in the garage with all things combustible
id been reading sven hassell books and wanted to make a grenade
i tried a few combinations of stuff and settled on one of mums preserving jars with the lid and band filled with kerosene fertiliser and a decent amount of emptied out shotgun cartridges which i took from dads duck shooting cupboard
i packed that shit in there tied a piece of baling twine around it dipped it in petrol set fire to it and started swinging to get some distance
fucken baling twine snapped all goods tho it exploded sending globs of burning napalm like shit everywhere
life is a learning curve and im a quick learner i went and got a piece of number 8 wire and tied that round it gave it a petrol bath and ignited it i yelled fire in the hole safety first
that worked wayyyyyyyy better i really got that barstard flyinghave you ever done ? swung something around and let go trying to aim it its hard and therein came my downfall
it left my hands like a fucken skyrocket and went straight into the wood shed where me and my brothers had dutifully stacked that years cords of wood the wood shed an old unlined corrugated affair shared a wall with the pump shed we got our water from the bore
when the fire dept got there it was cinders
and old weasel got a jolly good telling off

My old man was a stupid prick with fires. We had a row of hydranga bushes along the frontage which was long cos our section was a scalene right triangle shape so the longest side was our front boundary. He would cut shit out of these hydrangas as soon as they were end of flowering. So all the trimmings were raked up in a huge heap and into the shed for some fuel, out came paint thinners, petrol and anything else he could find. Whoosh up she went and as Weas said along the power wires they were big heavy ones, that served the industrial area down the road. Fuck he was a real bloody fire bug.

Heres one for you Weas. Back in my early days of my apprenticeship in this engineering company all the staff were pissheads. (I was still to learn this skill) In the middle of winter we had a potbelly stove (bit like the Masport ones) set up in the middle of the machine shop. Being the youngest my job was to keep that fire going. The blacksmith had plenty of coke for the forge so I flogged some of this. All the tradesmen fucked off at lunchtime to the pub, left me by myself. So I had this pot belly stoked up good, and a pair of vice grips on the trigger of the air hose, just blowing a very gentle bit of air in the bottom. I had this cast iron beauty glowing red hot around the base. About 2 pm, these blokes arrive back 3 parts pissed, the idiot foreman said to me "For fuck sake why didn't you look after the fire, boy" With this he grabbed a tin of kerosene opened the top of the pot belly and fired it in, Well there was a almighty whoosh and flames were dancing along the rafters, The stupid old prick had a free hair trim and no eyebrows. Fuck he gave me such a fright I thought the factory was a goner, but it petered out.
