Fireworks
- 18 July 2012 23:12183500Could they have been any slower?!?!Been nice knowing you :)
- 18 July 2012 23:17183501Indeed. Could they have lasted any longer?
- 18 July 2012 23:52183502Rumour on the grapevine that there were 'technical hitches'. Had they even been put altogether I'm not sure it would have beaten the Regatta fireworks. The guy next to me fell asleep! Major anti-climax for me, gutted.Keeps politics to myself
- 18 July 2012 23:55183503Don't think I saw anything like thus number of fireworks go from the Castle ???

19 July 2012 05:38183510rather loud as well,started about 2225 finished about 2300.maid my dog go crazy,it took awhile before he settled down. - 19 July 2012 08:34183525Got a firework picture on the frontpage now..but difficult in the damp drizzly conditions. The weather couldnt have been worse all evening. Yes indeed they did have long pauses in between bursts, so the co-ordination wasnt quite right.
But all n all it was good but could have been better given a warm gentle evening..like those evenings we used to get when there was such a thing called summer. Most of all it was a pity about the rain, conditions were against the guys doing it.email: dover7@msn.com - 19 July 2012 09:02183531It did seem to go on forever but some of the fireworks were quite spectacular.
I too suspect that perhaps some of the gaps or apparent lack of co-ordination may have been as a result of damp getting to some of them.
Perhaps someone will have some facts. - Brian Dixon

19 July 2012 10:20183537one fact is that it was raining quite steadadly for most of the afternoon,and apart from that the low cloud cover and wind didnt help much either. - 19 July 2012 11:27183551After shinning up the food parcel rope to PaulB's pad we had a great viewing platform to see last nights fireworks, they were awesome
Here's a selection for your delight

Firework Display - Guinness World Records...
[URL][/URL]Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 19 July 2012 17:46183585Yes after a couple of glasses of wine and a few nibbles, we lined up on PaulB's balcony and watched the firework display as you can see the camera's were busy, good pix guys just such a shame the weather was not kinder to us.
- 20 July 2012 14:44183719Good stuff Colette..jeez and you took them on a phone..well I never!
Have added an extra one to the frontpage in blazing red. That should wake the casual viewer up! lol!! Once seen never forgotten!
here are a couple of others...

And then a brief explosive display from the Castle below, with the docks in the background.
