Mrs Nick books some tickets for indoor explosive event

[Nick]

It's for a concert. In March. I note from the details that:

The evening will culminate in a spectacular finale of the 1812 Overture with thundering cannons, muskets and explosive indoor fireworks

 

It's in a fooking theatre FFS.

[Barman]

I did that once at the Albert Hall... The piece is overrated IMHO... 

[Pastis]

 

[Nick]

So can they do cannons and fireworks indoors? (without damage I mean, obviously) 

[Snoopy]

Yes ~ seen and heard it done ~ but the smoke does tend to drift about a bit making it a place to leave as soon afterwards as possible.

Have you never watched the Royal Tournament? Thunderflashes and dummy ammo being let off all over the arena.

[Nick]

OK. What can possibly go wrong?

[Barman]

OK. What can possibly go wrong?

With you there...?

Nothing Nick... nothing at all.... 

[Nick]

Phew, what a relief

[Pastis]

I imagine The Boy will love it 

[Snoopy]

If I know the Boy he'll want to do it again ~ at home 

[Pastis]

Well spotted Snoops! I knew there must be a flaw in the plan but your Poirot skills found it.

The Boy will wonder from then on why every crescendo in life isn't accompanied by pyrotechnics

Are they not?

[Snoopy]

His visit to the Kennel ended with much blood, several broken toes and a visit to A&E.

NOT his fault but a result of small boys being left to amuse themselves for a little too long. Anyway The Boy escaped unscathed ~ he seemed to accept it as all perfectly normal.

[Nick]

He has just done a first aid course at school. I fear he may want to practice now 

[Snoopy]

I hope you are a light sleeper.
