What are your plans for Christmas?

Nope...I never even heard of it. When's Fireworks Night?

Novemeber 5th. If you are so inclined look up Guy Fawlkes on
Yahoo, there's loads of info about the "Gunpowder Plot"
and Fireworks night.

It's a great story but I think it's odd that we celebrate the
houses of parliament almost being blown up by having a fire works
night and pretending to burn Guy Fawkes on a fire.

Isn't it more a case of celebrating the fact that he was caught
and the House of Parliment were not blown up. Hence the burning
of the Guy Fawlkes effergy.

But why Fireworks? It's like saying "oh well the houses
of parliament didn't get blown up but let's blow things up as
a celebration".

Ys know, I think that was basically it. I mean they had all that
spare gun powder, <img src=http:

I was almost burnt by a firework recently when I was walking
through a park. Went straight over me and loads of sparks landed
right next to me.
There were loads during the Millenium
when I went to London and got squashed in the crowds.

I accidently bombed the motorway(Freeway) once when we let of a small rocket and a big gust of mind pulled it over and down onto the road. oopsss

I stupidly through a firework on a bonfire and it exploded in about 20 different directions. One of those was my neighbours pidgeon hut. There was an odd smell of singed bird for the rest of the night.

😂 😂 😂 😂

Anyway, back on topic, anyone esle wish to share the Christmas plans?

I think i'll probably go driving around this deserted town...Then go down by the river and reflect on my life thus far...that's my plans for Christmas

That sounds like the start of a Christmas Movie. Just before the good fairy turns up and shows you how great Christmas is.🙂

...if some fairy in a big pink tutu. comes prancing at me through the snow I'm running...

You guys are lucking you have snow. I haven't had any since I was 6.

Forcatss for England say we're heading for a hard winter, we normally get a real bad one every 10 years of so and it's about due.

The last two real bad ones had 10-15 foot snow drifts in the small country lanes near where I live now. That's bad for the south of England.

Yippee!! If it's snowing in the south of England then I'm pretty sure it will snow here.

Hmmm, we haven't gotten much yet...you guys are going to have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG winter if you already have snow drifts like that...

EJ, you're not missing anything...trust me..

It was cool this morning...the whole city is in a big cloud, so it's all foggy and pastel colored..

I love snow. Makes Christmas so much more festive.

But I am Dim. I was born up north and loved that cold atmosphere. Anyway, anyone going to see The Grinch? Me and my sister are going to see it Wednesday.

It's not out for a few more weeks here, just in time for Christmas though. Hopefully doing to take the little one to see it.
