What Are British 4th of July Fireworks Like?
I'm going to Britain over the week of the 4th of July. What are their fireworks like? And what town has the best ones? I'm not sure whether I should go to London or Cardiff? Or maybe there's a place in Britain I haven't even thought of.

Has anyone ever seen Britain's fourth of july fireworks before? Tell me all about it.

Something tells me that the Hymn to Ninkasi doesn't have anything to worry about.  lol:

I worry about you...  noooo:

I'm a mine of generally useless information but I'd have figured you would have known all about Ninkasi, as she is the goddess of beer.  lol:

The hymn is a recicpe for brewing beer from around the 19th century BC.

Borne of the flowing water (...)
Tenderly cared for by the Ninhursag,

Tenderly cared for by the Ninhursag,
 
Having founded your town by the sacred lake,
She finished its great walls for you,

Your father is Enki, Lord Nidimmud,
Your mother is Ninti, the queen of the sacred lake,
Ninkasi, Your father is Enki, Lord Nidimmud,
Your mother is Ninti, the queen of the sacred lake.
 
You are the one who handles the dough,
[and] with a big shovel,
Mixing in a pit, the bappir with sweet aromatics,
Ninkasi, You are the one who handles
the dough, [and] with a big shovel,
Mixing in a pit, the bappir with [date]-honey.
 
You are the one who bakes the bappir
in the big oven,
Puts in order the piles of hulled grains,
Ninkasi, you are the one who bakes

You are the one who waters the malt
set on the ground,
The noble dogs keep away even the potentates,

You are the one who soaks the malt in a jar
The waves rise, the waves fall.

the malt in a jar

You are the one who spreads the cooked
mash on large reed mats,
Coolness overcomes.

You are the one who holds with both hands
the great sweet wort,
Brewing [it] with honey and wine

Ninkasi, (...)
(You the sweet wort to the vessel)
 
The filtering vat, which makes
a pleasant sound,
You place appropriately on [top of]
a large collector vat.
Ninkasi, the filtering vat,

When you pour out the filtered beer
of the collector vat,
It is [like] the onrush of
Tigris and Euphrates.

You could superglue it to the bullet I suppose, not that doing that would induce time travel.

I am sure that we could come up with some enterprising ways that would help the poster do a bit of time travelling. angel1 angel1 eveilgrin:
