Guy Fawkes Night 2010

To all those British out there and anyone else for that matter, please remember the 5th of November as it should be and remember why we celebrate it, The failed Gunpowder Plotof 1605. Don’t forget your guy “penny for the guy anyone? :)”, roasted chestnuts and of course your fireworks. Celebrate Guy Fawkes Night as it should be celebrated, celebrate it like you would all those years ago. Don’t let it be forgotten or taken over by Halloween!

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d (or by God’s mercy*)
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!
