Remember, remember those meddling squiggles

Well, for those of you who aren't from England, you might not know that November 5th is a celebrated English event called "Bonfire Night" - long story about this chap called "old man" Guy Fawkes-Rivers who ran the local amusement park and wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

But didn't get away with it in the end - because of those meddling kids.
Now we celebrate his failure with bonfires, fireworks, pies and peas (for some bizarre reason)

Here's hoping that the weather will improve on the evening of the 5th so I can take some fireworks timelapse pictures.

In the mean time, here's a cute squiggle that I saw by the canal earlier this year, I haven't seen many of these guys recently, I guess they've gone into hibernation now.

Enough of the Scooby Doo stuff - let's try some British Irony:
Classic Blackadder including "as dead as that squirrel" - "what squirrel" - BANG - "eep, thud" sketch
