Guy Fawkes day?

[MC Moot]

I didn’t really know anything about Guy Fawkes until I read “V for Vendetta”…is this date still recognized or relevant to you in the U.K?...anyone gonna burn some stuff up?...I rather like the legend/history of it…

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

I would just get reaaaaaalll bombed if I were there. . . . . like shitting the bed bombed . . .

Guy Fawkes day is awesome, although during my lifetime its awesomeness has gradually been eroded by the fun police. in NZ you can't buy firecrackers, sky rockets, or live primates anymore.

I don't understand...how do you get flying monkey's without sky rockets?

how does it compare to the fourth of july in terms of spectacle?

i guess that question can only be answered by people who have experienced both but i bet there's a few

probably similar to your 4th of july stuff but colder and I think the UK have looser fire works laws. But UK and USA celebrations are different anyway

Its an celebration of a pretty evil empire really - Guy Fawkes was a left-wing terrorist in times when people had cause to really bitch about the state.
