Happy Bonfire Night Everybody!

[Jibar]

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a mask, hat and cloak and an appointment at Parliament.

(For ye Yanks not in the know, this is the evening when the English blow ourselves up. Like the 4th of July, except our traitors to the crown weren't counted as heroes. Then.)

BOOM SPLODEY YAY HAPPY FIREWORK EXBOOM SPLODE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Erm... :smalleek: ... I mean, its Bonfire night and I got to light off all the fireworks while my family watched. It was so cool :smallbiggrin:

I wish you all a happy Bonfire night :smallsmile:

ASPLOSUMS :smalltongue:

[PhoeKun]

England is exploding!

Hooray! No, really. I love holidays like this.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I can hear them but I don't want to see them.

And no Vendette references Jibar. And we've hd them going on and off for about a week now. Terrifies the dogs.

[InaVegt]

So, this would be the date to throw a nuke on the UK?

Thank you for notifying me.

[Adlan]

Gotta love Pagen rituals.


And then you add explosives.

And Now I'm 18, I'm the one who lights the blue touch paper.

Anyone go to Plantation Gardens in Norwich for bonfire night? Well That was me :D

[PlatinumJester]

I stole loads of fireworks from our firework show so that I can blow **** up later.

How very... London...

[eidreff]

WANNA SPARKLER WAAAAAAHH. hmm maybe shouldn't eat so much cinder toffee, feel a bit icky now...

[Jibar]

How very... London...

Isn't it so?

Of course, I've just been wondering how easy it would be to stockpile this stuff for a later date, so it might be an ordinary English thing.

The wonderful thing about this night is that I have neighbours who will let fireworks for every single holiday if they can get them lit, so tonight, when they're meant to have fireworks, I just look out my window and I get a free show.

[Yuki Akuma]

It's like a bloody war zone out there. And it smells of smoke. And my cat is really terrified. :smallfrown:

[Tamburlaine]

So, this would be the date to throw a nuke on the UK?

Thank you for notifying me.

Well, damn.

[PlatinumJester]

How very... London...

The kids who live in the estate near my house were having firework fights so I figure I should stay armed.

[eidreff]

Heh heh, happy memories of Roman Candle Warfare....

[Om]

For some reason I'm reminded, quite out of the blue, of the passage in Reading in the Dark where the author complains that the Protestants in Derry got more bonfires than the Catholics. Funny how things come to you like that.

[Castaras]

FIREWORKS.

Hehehe...Pretty coloured lights...Wheeeee...*watches pretty coloured lights light up the skies*

Not many tonight...most of ours were on Friday/Saturday(Was at firework show Saturday :smallbiggrin:)/Sunday...

But ah well.

HAPPY BONFIRE NIGHT ALL.

[Lorn]

Huzzah for fireworks!

Hope everyone enjoyed going out in the cold to watch a bunch of colourful explosiony thingies while breaking open glowsticks and pouring the contents all over :p

Well, I did :)

[Sir_Norbert]

Nope, just a quiet night in for me. I don't see the point in going to these things on your own, and my significant other is 5000 miles away. And I don't know if she'd approve, seeing as she's Catholic and all that. :P

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

.....wish this idea had caught on.....bloody rugby.....pink elephants....

[Calamity]

Seriously, coming back from Blackpool last night was weird. The M61 was full of smoke.. it was like driving in fog. I do love fireworks. For some reason we're not doing anything this year. Shame.

[Dihan]

I've never liked fireworks.

I'm just weird like that.

[Midnight Son]

*Lights a match*

*Looks for some wood*

*Accidentally burns his own place down*

Pretty

[Archonic Energy]

Heh heh, happy memories of Roman Candle Warfare....

*fondly remebers the days before health & saftey*

ok i'm out of explosives now...

well at least till new years eve.

Edit: too earlt to type

[Charity]

Yeah I blew the last of them last night, no more injuries despite the lack of fuse on the 144 multishot jobbie (ripped open the top and droped a match into it and ran)
I love fireworks, I guess it all stems from my deep seated desire to blow stuff up

[Archonic Energy]

I love fireworks, I guess it all stems from my deep seated desire to blow stuff up

you and everyone else on the planet C.

[reorith]

[Serpentine]

Gotta love Pagen rituals.
...Pagan? :smallconfused:

[landadmiral]

I KNEW it was too early to see people talk about

TEXAS A&M BONFIRE (http://www.aggiemoms.org/pages/traditions/bonfire.html)

[Telonius]

Wish I could make it, but George Washington said we can't take part (http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/mgw:@field(DOCID+@lit(gw040073))). :smallbiggrin:

[Emrylon]
