Scottish Mag 3 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I don't see the attraction in them at all. Some whistling noises and bright lights in the sky "....Oh how pretty" Whoopeefuckingdoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26140 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 They don't celebrate it here. No one I asked knows why. I deduced it was because Guy Fawkes tried to kill James I and his grandson turned out to be the converted Catholic James II who got beat off King Billy at the Battle of the Boyne - hence neither 'side' has much to shout about over it. Why would we celebrate some silly historical event that took place hundreds of years ago? We let bygones be bygones over here y'know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RlCO 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Went to a proper display, always forget every year how loud they are. Like afghanistan on ramadan it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 On the metro home from work I enjoyed the fireworks all over Newcastles horizon for free. It was lush. I even put war of the Worlds on the ipod to add ambience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure 90% of the English population could tell you what it was about (probably about 25% think it was when we gained independence from the USA). I like the fireworks though, just not the stupid decent into noise-makers that has occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Took an old bed and matress out to the charvas' bonfire for them last night when their pathetic excuse for a bonfire was on it's way out only for another set of twats to start angling fireworks at me from about 100 yards away!! Had to use the matress for cover and then leg it back. Waiting unitl they'd ran out of fireworks then went for the cunts. Scarpered the lot of them into the night. Mood I was in would not have been mentally accountable for my actions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
