Remember, Remember, The 5th Of November

[DEV]

Just to let everyone that the great British holiday, Guy Fawkes is to celebrated the Saturday! It was 400 years ago when a bunch of pissed off Catholics attempted to blow up Parliment and failed. So every year on the 5th of November we shoot fireworks into the sky and toss poor old Guido onto a bonfire.

I hope everyone (Well, all the Brits anyway 😛 ) has a safe and great Guy Fawkes day!

Guy Fawkes and his band were terrorists, pure and simple. Could you imagine if they had succeeded? The political turmoil in England in Scotland that would've developed?

I love what ifs.

i hate what ifs i used to live my life like that. but not now. of course i know you dont mean personal lives at least i dont think so. and guy fawkes day always fascinated me. tossing his body into a bonfire is perfect.

John Lennon's "Remember" from the album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" refers to Guy Fawkes Day, doesn't it. (I noticed the use of the lyrics in the thread title)

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!

Yes indeed............

....a fine, ancient,venerable tradition, going back centuries rather than only as far back as season two epsiode three of "Buffie the Vampire Slayer" like some other spurious "traditions" I could mention!

V's costume is actually based off a characterisation of Guy Fawkes.
