    Who will you burn in effigy today ?

    The glorious 5th is with us Brits today where we should be burning effigy and letting of fireworks in celebration of the defeat of the catholic plot of Guy Fawkes and his bunch of brothers. Whilst eating greasy burgers and standing in damp cold fields or standing in our back gardens trying to out " woooooo, weeeeee, ahhhhhhh " the neighbours display of fireworks.

    It is our tradition to burn either Guy Fawkes or someone especially " hateful " in effigy on our bonfires.

    Who would you put on the bonfire this year?
    Remember it has to be tongue in cheek, so Donald Tsang and Kim Jong IL have no value.

    I can't think of anyone I hate that much - so instead can I make a cardboard version of the word "awesome" and shove that on?

    I'd add the word "gutted" and a effigy of the downstairs contractor who is torturing us every Saturday sharp 9:00am with the sound of jackhammers and hammer drills - for 2 months already

    Had Guido Fawkes lived today, his plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament would have failed the 'Elf n Safety risk assessment (Sir, we believe you have not left sufficient time between lighting said fuse and the massive explosion to exit safely from the area).

    Only 2 months Elle!!! I have been waking up every saturday at 8 am for more than one year and just when I thought its all going to end, as the building is near completion, govt started with breaking down old buildings and well create new ones....I am on the verge of quitting friday night drinks, just so my hangover isn't aided with the hammering next door.

    Development and urbanisation comes with its social repurcussions too. To be deprived of the Friday night liberation festivities is indeed inhuman. Where's that what's- her-face redevelopment secretary? I want her effigy thrown into that flame. Carrie something, I believe her name is.

    You don't have to be American to do that...i.e. burn GWB effigy.
