    How are you brits enjoying your annual purge day?
    That's how it works, right? Every fifth of November you can do whatever you want. That's just the rule. No rules.

      Editing … I'll tell you how it goes. We pay £5 each to get into a field to watch a fireworks display. It's freezing cold and pissing down with rain. We pay £7 for a 50p hotdog and the fireworks are shite. Then the car gets stuck in the mud in the car park and you don't get home until midnight. Worst day of the year.

      Editing … "I bet 90% of people know nothing more than his name, never mind the reason we have bonfire night." Yourself included nod. We don't celebrate Guy Fawkes as a hero. We celebrate the fact that he failed. That we foiled terrorism. That's why we burn him every year.

Now one guy stabs a few people on his way to there and we call him a terrorist. Back in my day we were men not pussies. Worst generation ever." Anybody? Nope, just you Silent. Really, we in Hull didn't learn about the guy that was born just minutes drive North?
