Vast majority (99%+) are fucked in this country. I don't know about waking them up, they need CPR first.
Teaching a cpr class here next week...coincidence?...
aww the land of Jeremy, James and Richard can't be that bad.
Guy Fawkes is one of the many religious attempts to rename and clean up Samhain the ancient British death festival. Halloween is a corruption of All Hallows Eve which was a similar Samhain facelift.
Guy Fawkes has managed to retain the "burning man" tradition which Halloween has lost. When I was a kid we would make a figurine out of old clothes and set fire to the "Guy." We also used to cook and eat black-coloured food such as parkin or stewed maple peas. We did the lanterns same as now but using turnips rather than pumpkins.
No idea what we will do this year. Wear plastic chinese fawkes masks I suppose. We're not doing so well as a country.
well thank you for the background. and God Bless.
"Penny for the Guy"
Damn, I'm old...
