I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated


Ally Pally's display*

Pity the poor bastards who've arranged a fireworks party or are off to a public display for Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night tonight. As forecast, it's been pissing down all day, and there's no sign of it stopping!

Shame, as it would have been quite jolly to see this year's effigy at the famous/notorious Edenbridge bonfire go up:


[lcick to embiggen]

Regardless, here's a number that seems to be becoming a bit of a "go-to" on this night every year...

...but with a twist!

Enjoy your night of banging and flashing, dear reader!

[* Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally) is just down the road from us, but we can't even see their fireworks from our garden.]

I'm alive, the man with the second face

Because of football, the media here in the UK (including the BBC and all the newspapers) have been going mad for reminiscences of 1996 [the last time the England national team came close to winning the European Championships; they're playing against Italy tonight in this year's final], so I thought I'd do an appropriate post...

Scary as it seems, dear reader, each and every one of these classic choons is a quarter-of-a-century old!

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS!! Where have they gone?

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated


Burning Guy Fawkes on your bonfire is so 1600s, but which of 2017’s many hate figures should you burn instead?

Check out our Mash guide:

Donald Trump
The obvious choice, effigies of Trump are easy to make at home because he already looks like clothes irregularly stuffed with newspaper, child’s gloves and a badly-sculpted papier-maché face. However the large amount of hay required to craft his hair could blow away once ignited and prove a fire risk.

Hillary Clinton
Could be considered passé, but still deserves ire for expecting to stroll into the White House like it was the family greengrocery business and then writing a whining, buck-passing book about it.

Jacob Rees-Mogg
Much as you should always check bonfires to ensure that children or hedgehogs are not hiding in them before lighting, always check any effigies of Jacob Rees-Mogg to ensure you are not inadvertently burning the genuine article.

Kim Jong-un
The man who threatens to turn the world into ashes deserves to be burned, despite the high probability that it’s all his dad’s fault for spoiling him. Fun and simple to construct: just pop a pair of glasses and poor man’s Elvis wig on an over-inflated balloon and you’re good to go.

A woman
If you’re holding a bonfire in an area of mixed political views, it can be difficult to choose an effigy that everyone agrees with. But whether you’re far-left or alt-right, everybody blames the ills of the world on women. One side can think it’s Angela Merkel, the other Laura Kuenssberg and everybody’s happy.

Harvey Weinstein
The Hollywood producer turned international sex abuse exposure catalyst should have been sitting atop bonfires for decades. A popular choice, but good luck getting it to the top of your bonfire without it being kicked to bits.

Adele
Has a £132 million fortune even though she is only 29. Burn the witch.
The Daily Mash

Of course.

Happy Bonfire Night, everyone!

There is really only one song to play now...

Twisted firestarter





"Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot!"

It's Bonfire Night.

What else to play...

...but Firestarter?!


The Prodigy. Of course.

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated.
Yeah, I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.


A greetings card verse in the making, methinks...
