Remember Remember

[devonin]

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!


Penny for the Guy?

Re: Remember Remember

Today is Guy Fawkes Day, in fact. Thus the point of making a thread about it.

Re: Remember Remember

Pfft, it is one day, not nearly long enough to make a fad about.

My school played the 1812 Overture over the loudspeakers.

Hollow men, my favorite ever.

Re: Remember Remember

For the first time since i've started Sixth Form I fell asleep in a class today when some girls in my History group started debating about Guy Fawkes, Catholics, Protestants, whether it's acceptable to blow up the houses of Parliament to get a point across, terrorism, etc.

Mind numbing stuff.

Re: Remember Remember

Girls who actually know and care enough about history to debate catholic/protestant interrelations, and the tenability of hostile terrorist action as a means of protest?

Sweet jesus man, you slept through that?
