You can ignite uncontrollable and unpredictable explosives in your back garden though.

I thought we talking about fireworks not TNT.

Fireworks aren't made with Creamola foam. They are explosives. Try taking one on a plane.

Why the **** would I want to take one on a plane? I just want to let them of in my garden.

By your reckoning Christmas crackers are explosives.

Everone admits that no wonder, thats why people with skills and expectations to live decently migrate in australia, isnt it? :thumbsup:

There is one point i would like to mention herewith is that, Australia is also choosing those only as a Migrants who deserves it in terms of Character, Medically Fit, Skilled and etc.

A bushfire in Balmain? I think not.

And yet they have Total Fire bans in the area just in case ?


Firefighters from Balmain Fire Station have urged residents to prepare for summer and reduce fire hazards around the home

They're always trying to get them on planes on that Border security thing on telly:rofl:
Take a Christmas cracker with you next time you fly and report back...

Fireworks are classed as explosives. As I said, they managed to blow my mates face off. They had to make him a new nose. Couldn't knock up a new eye for him though.

I don't want to take explosives on to planes! Why do you keep raising it? Should I phone the special phone number.

You mean these bits....

Firefighters from Balmain Fire Station have urged residents to prepare for summer and reduce fire hazards around the home.
“People should clear any clutter such as piles of rubbish and weeds,


I assume then that House fires only happen happen in Summer and not in winter, when people use heaters, and that dried weeds, etc are now self combustible in NSW, and don't need a spark such as fireworks to set them alight.
