    I remember a few of my mates at school being badly injured by fireworks, one guy blinded in one eye.
    I was blinded in one eye playing badminton. A shuttlecock injury is one of the most common causes off serious eye injury from sport

    Once upon a time we were going down the E4, Belgium I think, as you do, when we saw some spectacular lights in the sky.
    I carefully pulled over to the hard shoulder to watch, stunned by the show, as did many, many others, some braking almost dead stop in the middle lane.
    Went on for probably an hour and was fabulous

    but

    no noise
