My first November 5th in London, and how do I mark it? With a timely video, t’be sure, but not as well as I should have marked it.
For I completely forgot about this excursion. Rubbish.
Also, while I’m on the subject, it must be said that the English don’t seem to do this fireworks malarkey properly. They gather in gardens and on heaths, and go ‘ooh’. Where’s the fun in that? Why aren’t they aiming them at each other? Why aren’t they being thrown into the middle of crowds? Why oh why aren’t they being set off at four AM?
I tell you what, we should let a few Belfastians loose here with some fireworks, that’d show them the proper way to play with gunpowder1…
