Guy Fawkes Night!

To our colleagues residing on the other side of Pond, hope you all have an enjoyable Guy Fawkes Night celebration!

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Many thanks, but England is as of today 5 November under full Lockdown :roll: so no organised firework displays can take place. Pity because I have always enjoyed the fireworks but not the burning of poor old Guy Fawkes who only wanted to blow up the king and government.... :lol:

I hoisted a glass of Irish whisky to the memory of one who tried to help out the good people. Guy Fawkes might have had a Norman sounding name, but Michael Collins would probably have agreed with him.
