The Gunpowder Plot of November 5th 1605

[MarkAndrews IMCopywriting]

In the year 1605 Guy Fawkes attempted
to blow up the King and the Houses of
Parliament to kingdom come on November
the 5th.

The event came to be known as
The Gunpowder Plot.

Guy Fawkes plot was foiled and the
traitor was burned at the stake for
his misdeeds.

To this day tens of millions of people
across the nation light fireworks and
burn effigies of Guy Fawkes (known
as 'guys') on bonfires.

In addition to private parties, there are
thousands of events in pub gardens and
professional firework displays organised
by sports clubs and local authorities.

Most people couldn't give a stuff either way - it's just an excuse to let off some fireworks

I'm glad you clarified that! V was a series that was around about 20 years ago, and they did a remake of it JUST LAST WEEK! FOX is talking about it like the idea is totally new, and relating it to current events in a way TL wouldn't like.

Apparently the V was for VICTORY!

But HEY, TL, the old one was a NICE series, and the new one may be about as good, so go ahead and watch it! 8-)

[KimW]

Yes, V For Vendetta, but it is NOT about Guy Fawkes as much as the "hero" is fashioning himself after Fawkes.

Seasoned- I didn't watch the "new" V, but and you can correct me if I am wrong, I believe it is at least the 3rd time it has been redone, not the second.

As a sy-fi buff, I couldn't resist watching it - this time with the kid.

What's the stuff from Fox that I wouldn't like???

How on Earth could FOX relate the sy-fi stuff to what's happening now?

Oh, I get it, we're all being conned, just like the aliens tried to do in the series V right?

LOL

Please enlighten me on Fox's latest activities regarding the series V.

Wait a minute, is this a Glenn Beck production?

It's a nursery rhyme the children in the UK learn.

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

...also in the movie V for Vendetta.

[HeySal]

Wow Happy Birthday CD. Fellow Scorpio. That explains a few things.

[Michael Oksa]

Happy Birthday, C!

I just turned 41 last week.

But, but, but....

How in the world can you, Sal, and I ALL be Scorpios!?!?!

If that fact alone doesn't disprove horoscopes, I don't know what does!



~M

[MarkAndrews IMCopywriting]

That's exactly what I was thinking,
bloomin' Scorpio's.

Bless em. Big tame pussy cats really,
all claw and no bite.

Ooooh hec, I've done it now. This
archer may have mis-aimed one too
many of his arrows, carefully retracts
his big goofy hoof and canters off as
gracefully as he can muster.

Roll on December 1st! (43)

It’s a mixed reaction. Nowadays many people would sympathize with the position of Catholics in England, terribly persecuted for their faith. Moreover, Fawkes himself and the other conspirators were extensively tortured before being hanged, drawn and quartered. (I won’t go into the details, but it’s not one of the pleasanter ways of being executed.) Against that, one can see the plot in the light of current terrorist attacks. The plan was to blow up the whole Parliament, including the king’s children – a fact which caused particular horror at the time.

Fawkes, by the way, was described as “a man of great piety, of exemplary temperance, of mild and chearful demeanour, an enemy of broils and disputes, a faithful friend, and remarkable for his punctual attendance upon religious observance".

Taurus?

20th April - 1st May.

Let me consult my Linda Goodman
- Love Signs book.

Page 23 - Blimey! It reads like a
complete load of gobbledegook to
me, sorry lass, can't help you there.

Would you like to know the Taurus -
Sag' (fire horse) love compatibility
ratio?

Would you like me to oblige?

interesting and good book about such matters.

Mr. Andrews...

NOT in public. lol. Have you no sense of discretion? No, no...
sense of decency?

No respect?

I was right when I commented in your other thread, the
one with the peculiar bridge design, that you're not right.

Now it's confirmed. You ain't right, dude. Lock your self
in a room and toss the key out the window.

You da Man Thom! Be glad you are a male though, because my birthday is always right before, right on, or right after, and as a mother, I always get ripped off!

Don't believe any of that bull crap. I've been married 30 years, and I'm a Taurus. My wife is Sag.

[MarkAndrews IMCopywriting]

Your poor, poor wife, my heart goes out to her.

Scarpers quickly in a rather ungainly fashion.

I wasn't basing my input on some astrological chart. No, no. I speak from bitter experience.

Good to know it isn't a hard and fast rule
