    Default Gunpowder, treason and plot.

    It's that time of the year when we gorge on parkin and treacle toffee......and most importantly set off fireworks until your neighbours ears bleed.

    Have a good one guys and, hey, remember, let's be careful out there....

    Roll on the 5th.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I think there about to invade....
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I saw the very end, but all I remember was the great music and show. No dates remembered.

    So yeah, I know it's a day early, but happy Guy Fawkes Day!

    Definitely one of my favorite movies. I love Hugo Weaving's rendition of the poem near the beginning of the film.

    Default AW: Gunpowder, treason and plot.

    So how thorough is the search for bombs now a days? Is it just a quick and routine 'ceremonial' search or do they really check with dogs and what not?

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
