Oban Fireworks Display, blink and miss it
Don't think I'll be asked back to rig the charges again.

Although the wife says she's used to that kinda thing

BBC News - Oban fireworks display 'gone in 50 seconds'

I missed it as I was in Scapa at the weekend.
At least the re run I'll be able to see.
It must have been impressive to see though, £1000 per seconds worth of fireworks going bang for a full minute
