Start 2006 with a bang? Don't Mind if I do, Above is the firework which we saluted the beginning of 2006 with. Yes I am aware that it resembles a phallus. But that is in fact ham.

The firework is courtesy of Dave Andrew and I. Dave set off the first fireworks as a kind of dry run earlier in the evening, when the whole of Dave's family were impressed with the quality of the firework.

Come midnight, when we set off the above meat-based propellant, which needless to say didn't quite reach the astronomical heights of the first fireworks, much to the dismay of Dave's family. In fact, I think they were a little deflated. We were happy though, safe in the knowledge that we were the first to send ham into the atmosphere. Nice
