Guy Fawkes Night

Guy Fawkes Night celebrations, which takes place in towns and villages across the country, involve fireworks displays and the building of a bonfire, upon which is burnt an effigy representing the most famous of the conspirators, Guy Fawkes. So tonight I am helping with the local Scout Groups stall at a local bonfire. The night is closely associated with the popular rhyme which begins:

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Unfortunately Hull City also lost this afternoon, Hull got off to a flyer when Nick Barmby marked his return to the side by firing them into a sixth-minute lead. But Gavin Mahon got Watford back on level terms two minutes later and Matt Spring fired them in front shortly before the half-time interval. Hull's Stuart Green blew the chance of a point with a dreadful 72-minute penalty after John Welsh was fouled.
