It’s the 5th of November.
The day – back in 1605 – some people tried to blow up the houses of parliament.
And failed.
And how do we celebrate this occasion?
By blowing up fireworks.
Does that seem a little strange to you?
It’s like celebrating losing the lottery by burning all your cash.
But anyway, this year it’s going to be a lot quieter thanks to our friend, Covid, so because I am going to be leaving these shores again sometime in the next few months, I thought I’d let you all imagine a time where we were all allowed to go outside and shout “Ooooooh” and “Ahhhhh” at fireworks while burning our mouths on crappy hot dogs that are at 10,000 degrees centigrade and burning our hands on even crappier sparklers.
FOR TEN HOURS.
You’re welcome.

I thought Biden’s speech was great. Most presidential thing I’ve heard in the last 4 years.

Comment by DH November 5, 2020 @ 1:31 pm10 minutes of fireworks is normally my limit so you have created a new form of torture.

Comment by Rob November 5, 2020 @ 8:24 amI hope it was to take the piss rather than them really loving fireworks. Ha.
thats such a fucking campbell statement.

Comment by DH November 5, 2020 @ 1:31 pmIf tonight is quieter, it will be because of a general trend in that direction. Yes there’ll be a lack of public displays, but you’ve been able to buy explosives for weeks now and I fear Rosie is not going to be happy.
Comment by John November 5, 2020 @ 10:18 amfucking hell doddsy, you sound like a presenter on songs of fucking praise
Comment by andy@cynic November 5, 2020 @ 11:54 amHarsh but true.
Comment by John November 5, 2020 @ 12:13 pmI’m guessing song of praise is a religious show. Not because of the name, but because of how John’s comment reads.
Comment by DH November 5, 2020 @ 1:31 pmI am so glad Andrew is not running for president. He would likely get in.

Ye shall know them by their frameworks. Do planners gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
