Happy Guy Fawkes!



Although I'm told that Guy Fawkes is about not blowing up Parliament and this is the Doctor actually blowing up Downing Street. But apparently the Doctor is Space British, so this all somehow relates.

Lol, come on, Doctor - I'm sure you could blow up parliament if you tried.

Or... if you didn't try but just happened to accidentally land there.

I'M NOT FUSSY.

Guy Fawkes Night is the best time of year!

The Gunpowder Plot was hatched near where I live, which is probably why we have such huge events for it.

We had our town firework display last night, though, because we have the Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival tonight.

And it is awesome.

Those are some floats!

You ought to see them in action.

A 100ft float with moving hydraulic parts lit up with 30,000 lightbulbs and with music blasting out and several dancers on the cart performing a routine for three hours around the route...it's amazing.

I was in carnival for a few years and it's brilliant (alas...it's also like having a second full time job, so I had to give it up when I started working out of town).

Here's a video of one from last year.

They had FLAMETHROWERS on the front of their cart!

Omfg, I thought this was d_r_fix the whole time

And I was like "um we just posted that like... two days ago... but I guess it would be kind of rude to say something."

And then I went and commented on today's d_r_fix and everything and it didn't click until like half an hour later. OY.

Ma-ha-ha "Space British" = BEST. NATIONALITY. EVER.

Have I mentioned recently how much you rock?

I can't claim to come up with that, but happy to pass it along. :D
