Remember, remember the 5th November

Bong fire?

We used to celebrate Guy Fawkes night in Australia until fire bans started. As November is the month fire restrictions start here (due to summer) now the only fireworks are at special occasions and put on by professionals. But it was so much fun back, when as a kid, we would be given a small bag of fire works.

LOL will never forget that date for 2nd reason. Got married to a man. Fireworks didn't last long hahahahahaha

its bonefire night???

OMG u reminded me of the movie V for Vendetta. loved it

foosh, txs for the reminder!!

great night lets not loose it to the pc brigade

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

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match

Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.
