While you zany whacky colonials are recovering from Pumpkin Day and get ready for Thinksgloving or whatever you call it, we Britons (well I am King) are gearing up for Bonfire Night.

In these days of racial tension and cultural intolerance, we all unite to set off fireworks, stand round a bonfire, and burn effigies of a Roman Catholic Smiley: grin

Why can't we all just love one another?

A penny loaf to feed the Pope.
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A ****** 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.

Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah!

Before I saw V I'd never even heard of Guy Fawkes.

And before Nobby posted this I'd had no idea there was a real 5th of November holiday in Britain.

Bonfire night was a big hit, eh?

LONDON - A 22-year-old man suffered internal injuries after lighting a small firecracker he had inserted into his buttocks, paramedics said Thursday. The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes' gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.


The man suffered burns and other unspecified internal injuries in the incident in Sunderland, 275 miles north of London.

Katherine Shenton, a spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance Service, said a caller had phoned in that the victim was bleeding after the firecracker exploded.

Several of the man's friends recorded the incident on a mobile phone. The blurry images show a man bent over with his pants down and a white flash as the firecracker explodes.

The Times newspaper reported the man is a soldier who recently returned from Iraq
