Penny for the guy...

Yes, it's time to muster all your anti Catholic hatred; get out your papal effigy and burn it on top of a huge bonfire: it's Guy Fawkes Night again. So, stand by with your rockets, catherine wheels and sparklers to mark the day, over 400 years ago, when a certain Guido Fawkes planned to blow up James I and Parliament and restore a catholic monarch to the throne.
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Surprisingly, Ireland has joined in the festivities this year by closing the Vatican Embassy in Dublin. Alternatively, you could stick with a more traditional celebration. But remember kids... Follow the firework code.
