And there is more to come!!! With a calender full of shoots there is a lot of planning to be getting on with! We are also looking forward to more ‘old friends’ coming to samui over the next couple of weeks… with Tony (aka ‘Mushrooman’) and his wonderful girlfriend Arisa coming at the beginning of next month to get married (can’t wait to meet them again), where we will be shooting a very special show indeed, the likes of which ‘W’ has never seen before!

We also have our good friends and fellow ‘pyro-freaks’ Marc and Elke coming back to Samui on the 11th to see us too!!! Really looking forward to meeting up with them again! We are very lucky to have so many pyro-freak friends! lol lol Let the good times roll!

Hi Patrik I hope you are looking forward…

Hi Patrik… I hope you are looking forward to helping us out with your mum’s firework shoot! We will make you an ‘official’ temporary member of ‘Blue Team’ (the shooting team that is shooting for you). Get your button pressing finger ready! – Alan & La-on, The Firework Shop

Samui is a great place to get married…

Mr.b — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:01:37 +0000

Samui is a great place to get married, as, despite the fact it is so built up compared to only 5 or so years ago, there are still some beautiful, quiet and romantic beaches here. Obviously others feel the same too, as the number of weddings is increasing month by month. This month – apart from the private parties and other shoots – we have 12 weddings booked! I must admit that I think it is great to be a part of someone’s very special day. It is so romantic to see so many people so in love and having a wonderful wedding on a ‘tropical island beach’. I really do feel that it is an honour to be part of such an important event in people’s lives, and it is great to think that we are giving them yet another wonderful memory of their ‘special day’.

The video showing me ‘knocking together’ a nailboard-type firework remote control is (finally) up.

Well New Year is finally ‘put to bed’…

Mr.b — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 16:45:39 +0000

Well… New Year is finally ‘put to bed’, and it is back to business as usual! We have all been replacing the rather worn-out concrete path leading up to the front of the Maenam shop… it seemed to take a heck of a lot of sand, stone, and cement! Our backs have been aching for 4 days solid! Still… it was worth it… looks very good. Unfortunately, while we were digging around, I realised that the sign out the front of the shop was starting to look a bit ‘weary’, so our current project involves us ripping out the old… and putting up a new – rather dapper – sign. Photos will make their way up here in due course!

My welding is definitely improving! Well… in the sense that I can now stick bits of metal together quite well, giving a strong joint… but ‘looks’?… that’s a different thing altogether! I reckon the best description for my welding is ‘strong but ugly’! lol As my mate Roger says… ‘It would take a bloody nuclear bomb to blow that apart!’ … said as I was throwing a recently finished 4 inch rack around the back garden (on concrete) to show just how strong it was! What I didn’t know was that welding gives you sunburn! Put it this way… I now don’t use welding goggles (opting for the full face mask now), and I wear long sleeved T-shirts when welding! You live and learn eh?

A Board

Mr.b — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:27:17 +0000

The new A Board outside the shop in Lamai certainly seems to be drawing attention to itself… and not just because of its size! Wonder why? lol If you want to find out why, you are going to have to visit the shop to see the ‘strap-line’ at the bottom of the sign… priceless!

Just got a new ‘A’ board sign for the …

Mr.b — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 03:52:06 +0000

Just got a new ‘A’ board sign for the shop in Lamai, and I think it looks great! It certainly makes the shop a lot easier to spot – being a full 2 metres high and 1 metre wide! I will be putting up a photo of it soon.
