Boy, am I looking forward to lighting off 300 dollars worth of illegal fireworks in the middle of a golfcourse tonight! Gotta love the fourth!

Same to you JI

@ Tony: Where do you get yours? I usually pick some up from Jelico Mountain down south on vacation or when racing.

My dad and I usually go down to Chicago, Cleveland or someplace similar on business once or twice during the summer. He brings me along because he is incapable of operating a vehicle past midnight because he gets so tired and I thoroughly enjoy driving any time of day, so I pretty much chauffeur him everywhere while he gets presentations or whatever ready. We always stop off at the same huge warehouse in Indiana (i think it's indiana) called Phantom fireworks and go hog wild... We both love fireworks. I have a large supply of firecrackers sitting in the basement now and he likes the really big, expensive ones that fly way up into the air which are illegal here. Should be fun.

Excellent. You'll have a microcosm of Scotland in no time. :laugh:

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:19 pm

No chance. It is a world benchmark for civil rights, and you lot won't let us be that in Scotland

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:25 pm

Well, where would we be without our Scots?

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:26 pm

Well according to the tories you would be unoppressed :speech:

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:27 pm

And we all wonder why the Tories aren't in power, don't we....

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:27 pm

I think I have mentioned this before, Rav. They are

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:35 pm

Ahh yes. Please be more literal, they may share their policies, but I still refer to the political parties by their given names.

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:37 pm

*shakes head sadly* No political parties with the given name "tories" Rav. Keep up!

TonyMontana1638 · Post by **TonyMontana1638** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:44 pm

I mean this as a sincere question as I have no idea... Are the 'whigs' and 'tories' still around under those names? It's a stupid question, i know, but I live a world away remember.

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:46 pm

Not a silly question from you.....Rav, on the other hand.....

No they are not. Not since late 19th or early 20th century

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:47 pm

Not the Whigs...last time I heard that I was studying History.
The use of the word Tories still commonly refers to the Conservatives...as Fiona should well know I was referring to.

Fiona · Post by **Fiona** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:48 pm

Oh I knew what you meant, Rav. But twas not what you said, you know :laugh:

They are what they are, and so are "new labour".

TonyMontana1638 · Post by **TonyMontana1638** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:48 pm

I didn't think so, didn't it change under Disraeli? For some reason that always stuck in my head, but I couldn't be sure, I thought I may have imagined that...
