Fireworks displays

[LegalEagle-ish]

Where is the nearest one this evening, or a good one a bit further away? Anyone know what's happening?

[SeanMacGabhann]

et tu, Leagle-Eaglish? Et tu??

I'll ask admin to put a search function on the forum or summat.

or maybe it's satire

or maybe I should just say Brockwell Park does a biggie and goodie and slink away

Several threads on the forum here already.

Dulwich tennis club (I think), Brockwell Park, Crystal Palace are three I noticed.

Brockwell Park free, Crystal Palace a fiver for adults, don't know about the other (smaller) one.

[PeckhamRose]

Blackheath of course

Southwark Park too.

The above are both free.

Dalston Heights on a clear night for a distant view of loads of them!

Does anyone know where exactly in Brockwell Park the fireworks are held? I'm going to follow the crowd but figured I'd ask first!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Trust me you won't get lost Tarah!

You'll see when you get there

Well the Brockwell Park fireworks were brill, and much better than I remember Crystal Palace being last year (and free, too!) but getting out of the Park afterwards was an absolute nightmare.

I was so glad I didn't have kids with me, and amazed if noone got hurt.

Total bottleneck at both tiny entrances at the Herne Hill side, with no pedestrian crossing at the main entrance (Railton Road end). People were trying to climb over the railings to get out, and apart from a few police etc at the actual exits, there was nobody apparently to give information about what was happening to the massive queues.

Buses were rammed too, had to walk back to ED :))

Had you had a few last night Declan?

The Latin is a common phrase, indicating even people you trust doing the same as everyone else - in this case Leagle starting (yet another) thread on fireworks

Mild joke admittedly -

Asking admin to include a search function is another mild joke - ie there IS one already. Nowt to do with any "connection"

Why is it mean for you to specifically as about slinking away? I used slink away because

a) "slink" is a great word

b) the whole post was a silly arc of a joke, with the "punchline" being the equivalent of "I'll get me coat"

This place is getting way too serious
