Remember, Remember the Fifth of November!

It's Guy Fawkes Day!

[b]The Fifth of November

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 and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray[/b]!

They banned cracker night 30 years ago for ‘safety’

Totes not because they didn’t want the ppl coming together once a year and talking about government corruption 😏

That should make it more popular than ever!
@Slade fire works were banned anyway.. we were only allowed that one night a year to let them off.. and they took that off us too..
The only pushback I’ve seen in my life from auzzies was the jab mandates..
we generally just bend over and take it

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout That is soo unfortunate. It always amazes me how so many colonies of the Empire begged for independence only to become even more conformist ☹️
