Guy Fawkes

"The only honest guy to enter Parliament" is what my dad had to say about him.

But what about Guy Fawkes Day?

For centuries there was a Law requiring British subjects to
celebrate his capture. I enjoyed Guy Fawkes Night as a kid.
A few cheap fireworks in the garden, sparklers and Jumping
Jacks that were eventually banned.

Halfheartedly celebrated here in NZ but you can't have a
firework party when it doesn't get dark until 9pm! A few
bangs going off now ... it's 10pm. I'm going to bed.

AWWWWWW

Here in Wales we’ve had fireworks going off since Friday. The local rugby club had
their display on Friday evening, some idiot set some off somewhere the same
evening around midnight, a few went off Saturday and the scouts hall had theirs on
Sunday. Tonight there will be more fireworks going off. I can’t stand the stupid things!

@drewnogalthey frightened my dog so bad she got out and went missing for 4 days, thankfully we found her 15 miles away the police had picked her up and put her in kennels when we collected her she cried and we cried from then on she never left our sided.

Sounds like a great man... should be a day to commemorate the loss of one of Englands finest not celebrate his death. He was English?

Yes he was English though later in life he took the name Guido.
His aim was to kill the king rather than any MPs.

Luckily we had a nice rain and wind storm yesterday, cancelling
all such bollocks. 🙂

Poor thing and how lucky that you found her. I was surprised to see someone taking their dog for a walk last Monday night. Of all the times to do that?
