Remember remember, the fifth of November...

If you live in the UK, happy Bonfire night, if you don't, happy 5th of November anyway.

And to celebrate, what happens when you build a precise replica of the House of Lords as it was in the day, stuff it with Gunpowder the way Fawkes did, light the fuse and retreat to a safe distance (don't use indoors, keep out of the hands of children):

I love that scene. I have my friends copy of V and will probably have to watch it tonight. My calender has been marked and today would be a great day to blow things up.

Almost forgot! I'm genuinely a little ashamed. Working a 48 hour shift does make one's mind slippery. Thanks for the reminder!!!

Whoops. Missed it, by 105 minutes.
And I had to notice it now, and not in ten minutes, when it would have been 115 minutes, at least close ...

It's always a failed revolutionary day somewhere...
