    Default Bonfire night.

    Yep, it's here again.

    Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot.

    I see no reason, why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

    I got an invite to a firework party tonight. One of the lads has got his hands on some fine explosive devices and we're going to blow them up. For fun.

    Lots of beer, parkin, treacle toffee and baked potatos. Bring it on.
    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.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I got an invite to a fireworks display for the 5th too. It's all a bit hush-hush, meant to be a big surprise for the neighbours as it's being held right on the thames, I've been asked to help move some of the powder kegs and set things up... oh, wait.

    Don't forget to strap different things to the rockets, and put some down some drains, and detonate one of the massive ones (the 'mine' as we had) in a pumpkin if you've got one hanging about from halloween.

    What you shouldn't do is aim them at trees, try to do things too quickly and knock one over smashing a distant conservatory, or have one hit off your roof and then slide down and land on your head (yes, I'm an idiot).
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Some guys in my old school a few year back made there own rockets and explosives(don't ask it's better not too) and the ended up completely demolishing a toilet cubicle.

    What happened was the rocket was threw in to the jacks for the laugh, it shot up an hit the ceiling and came back down into the the bowl kaboom.
    They slew him with poison afaid to meet him with the steel

    Gosh, that certainly challenges some of the derogatory stereotypes of Irish people.

    They were the kind of fellas who would put sand and cement down a jacks for the laugh, then they would stand watching the school handyman trying to figure out why the toilet would not flush.

    Nowadays they are pillars of society etc etc and we all have a laugh remembering the craic, things never seem so serious in retrospect.
