Location: The other side of the Lake from work Rep Power: 12 ![]() | Same reason they celebrate a day of High Treason. It's "Bonfire day" or "Gunpowder Treason day" or...the probablly more familiar to those on this side of the pond 'Guy Fawkes Day". Remembering the day Fawkes and his merry band of "Catolicks" tried to @ssplode Parliment with the King and his followers inside. He got caught trying to light the fuse. __________________ You can't wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you - Look, if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! | ||||||||
