Brilliant Fire work display in Oban

Post by Orla »

Couldn't stop laughing, at least nobody got cold standing watching them.

"There was none of that nonsense in Oban on Friday night at their council display. Instead they just let them all off at once, resulting in the most glorious (and possibly terrifying) minute of fireworks you’ll ever see. They’re claiming a ‘technical fault’ but we reckon they’ve mastered the art of the firework display here. BOOM!"

"By the light of the last rocket exploding above the bay, those who cared to look down rather than up might have seen the shadow of a puffer leaving the bay as fast as her aged and labouring engines could drive her, the voices of the crew raised in furious argument."

In total contrast to an advert for Guinness which said something about "60 seconds of Darkness" :lol:
The folk on Mull must have had a good giggle.
