The nice old dear behind the counter told me that they don't sell fireworks anymore "something to do with the environment, luv." <br /><br />Oh well, if it was not that bullshit it would be the health and safety bullshit. I do, however, have a nice selection of Standard fireworks for tonight, the bonfire is set the sausages will be cooked (with absolutely no care if the smell offends a passing mooselimb's religious rights) the whisky Macs will be consumed in front of the kids and with no health warning given to them and the guy called DavidGordonNick is ready to get his arse roasted. All I need (apart from the sparklers) is a ringpiece of stars EU flag to tie around the traitourous bastard's scrawny neck.Number 6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-70950125385646747732009-11-05T11:58:58.250+00:002009-11-05T11:58:58.250+00:00There was a huge bonfire in the centre of London, ...There was a huge bonfire in the centre of London, in 1834 - nowt to do with Guy Fawkes, but the Houses of Parliament burned down !<br /><br />Here is an article I found about it:-<br /><br />'They say a week is a long time in politics. So after 175 years, you would probably expect some dramatic changes.<br /><br />But one theme still remains from 1834. Politicians were about as unpopular then as they are now. <br /><br />When an awesome fire ripped through the Palace of Westminster on 16 October of that year, a gleeful crowd whooped and cheered as fire burned the vast majority of the building to the ground. <br /><br />One diarist of the time caught the mood: "The crowd was rather pleased than otherwise; whistling when the breeze came as if to encourage it; 'There's a flare-up for the House of Lords.' 'A judgment for the Poor Law Bill!', 'There go their acts!'. Such exclamations seemed to be the prevailing ones. A man sorry I did not anywhere see."
