Around 1400 euros? That's a lot of money just for the New Year's Eve fireworks. Would you like to explain to us what an F4 license is? So you were one of the 2 votes that selected the option " I spend more than 500 euros"? I would be interested to know who cast the second vote, if they would like to make this known?

Not a cent for fireworks, but a few € for a convivial evening with friends

I think he means with F4 license, the course to be allowed to use or ignite large fireworks accordingly, i.e. pyrotechnician license F4.

Doesn't something like that work?

Yes, it can work, but if the dog doesn't want to wear it, he scratches at it all the time until the things are taken off.

Exactly, with the license I am officially allowed to fire Class III & IIII fireworks without incurring a penalty ...


For everyone, only classes I & II are available from the age of 18...

I'm mainly interested in the effects and that you can at least keep up with the pole stuff with these classes without risking your limbs...

Must also mention that 1400 is not much in this area...

Maybe 20min total duration

Casinos already have everything except fireworks.
No, I generally don't spend any more money on fireworks, I prefer to watch what others shoot up every year.

I just had to smile at this sentence. It's the same for me. I look up at the sky when the rockets are set off after 00:00 and think to myself every time anew how stupid you can be to spend money on them.

I don't quite understand why hobby pyromaniacs are supposed to be stupid just because they enjoy something that I personally might not be able to understand. Sure, it's a short and expensive pleasure, but it's usually only practiced for a few days a year and then they wait another 12 months. Throwing money into vending machines and waiting for three books is certainly not much more sensible for many bystanders...However, we don't just do this for 2 or 3 days, but quickly for 300 days a year. I don't shoot firecrackers either, but everyone can do what they want with their money as long as they don't deliberately harm anyone.

I agree... If no one were to shoot firecrackers now, everyone would probably stay indoors at 12 noon, no fireworks, no clinking glasses with neighbors, etc.... Wouldn't that be shit...

I don't know whether a good mood or an exuberant atmosphere is necessarily dependent on whether there are fireworks outside I was in Barcelona on New Year's Eve a few years ago...there wasn't even a firecracker to be heard all night. Just nothing. They did a lot with light shows, lasers and glitter...was nice to look at, the atmosphere was good and something completely different. As you'd expect...I asked a colleague from Malaga on my return and he confirmed that the Spanish don't really like fireworks. I didn't know that before either

Well, dear Langhans and Stromberg, unfortunately you don't know me well enough, which is why I'm so negative about New Year's Eve. I wanted to leave your posts uncommented at first, but now I wanted to write something about it. I only very rarely reveal things about my private life, which is why you or the community haven't read anything else about me yet, but perhaps I'd like to share a few things here.

Firstly, my health has been very poor for several years now and I'm no longer really fit in life, to put it bluntly. Of course, I'm not going to describe the illness or what it is here. It had something to do with the brain, that much can be said. And perhaps you can now understand why I don't think New Year's Eve, Christmas, Easter etc. are good, to put it mildly. It's all just torture for me.

On the other hand, I have my dog, who gives me a lot of strength and joy, and New Year's Eve is pure hell for him. Days before New Year's Eve, he senses that New Year's Eve is approaching and I have difficulty getting him to go for a walk at all. Then I finally manage to get him to do his business and then all of a sudden some idiot bangs and my dog pulls wildly on the lead and just wants to go home.

I could go on and on, but I've said enough for now.

Of course, it's absolutely unfortunate to hear that you're not in good health and perhaps this isn't the right time to discuss such a mundane topic as fireworks pro/con. There is certainly no question that the time around December 31st is the exact opposite of cozy for many animals. But that's another matter. I have guinea pigs myself that are very sensitive to noise. This inevitably and unavoidably involves a few periods of fright and hiding - you just can't regulate and ban everything. That, in turn, is also true. The core issue - that sounds far too grandiose in this context - was actually something else, but I don't think we need to go into that any further now. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything stays in check tomorrow and that 2025 still gets off to a positive start
