Bonfire night is coming. The pig is getting fat. Is it a pig? Is it a goose? I have no idea what you're singing. Please put a penny in the old man's hat If you haven't got a penny, I hate me will do If you haven't got a haughty then God bless you. Did you just make that song up? No. Did you just go back like 100 years and make a song up? That's when we were doing Penny for the Guy.

That's what we would sing.

No, I did not know there was a song. A song? What, you'd just go, Penny for the Guy, Gov. Well, I never did it. But yeah, Penny for the guy, yeah. Where were we getting? I talked about this last week, didn't we? where we're getting the effigies in the wheelbarrows?

That's the only thing between me and making a small fortune, this bonfire night.

And of course, it is bonfire night now, as you listen to this, or post-bonfire night.

Could be.

But it's bonfire Eve for us.

That well-known occasion, yeah.

My son would always, if I ever say, remember, remember the 5th of November,

he gets annoyed because according to him, Guy Fawkes was apprehended before midnight,

but I don't think he was properly in custody or being interrogated until after midnight.

So Gene says it should be the 4th of November because he's very pedantic.

That is, from a child, that must be slightly irritating, no, but also impressive.

Yeah, and I've not bothered to check if he's correct or not.

He is.

He is.

He almost always is about these things.

I'm sure he is.

But yeah, it's what I can find strange about is still celebrating the capture of Guy Fawkes and the plotters all these years later.

And burning effigies of him, him being the bad guy and all that,

which, you know, undoubtedly he was going to blow up Parliament.

Probably makes him somewhat of a bad guy.
