A bank of around 10 rockets (twice) and a couple of lasers. The video lasts around 25-30 seconds, and the last few seconds is accompanied by the sound of some bloke (the guy who shot the video, presumably) mockingly laughing.

On this, there must have been some fucked up clocks on NYE. 5pm the fireworks started where we were.

Instagram, ffs. Tells you all you need to know.

There were a lot of people there, however good it was. The queues on the motorway near me heading out of town at 00.30, were similar to what you see at 5pm on a workday.

There’s a 9 minute video of them on YouTube, so I’d have thought so.

Fair enough. I haven't seen that video, but I doubt you're lying.

I clicked on the play button but nothing happened. Is that the joke?

No, for some reason embedded instagram posts don’t work for everyone.

You have to click the link in the right place (the bit of text below the image), then cancel the pop-up, then click “continue on web” then click the image to enable the sound.

Shite programming from Instagram.

I can’t be certain that I’d never lie about anything but, if I do, it won’t be about fireworks in Manchester…

Cheers mate. Think I'll give it a miss though.

Some of that can be explained by people 'bringing in the new' (FFS) at midnight in their birth country.

I usually find that’s the best option.
