Happy birthday! How old is the big guy turning?

23........

Ah, the Big Fellow. And don't be forgetting Eamon De Valera.

Maybe we can get a chorus going of "The Rising of the Moon."

Oh, then tell me Sean O'Farrell,
tell me why you hurry so.
Hush me Buchall hush and listen,
and his cheeks were all a-glow.
I bear orders from the captain,
Get you ready quick and soon,
For the pikes must be together
By the Rising of the Moon.

Atleast Michael Collins had a bit of respectability

I do find it odd that they would celibrate a day where someone tried to blow up their leaders..

Well none of my brittish friends make sense anyway, living in flats and getting pissed about it till they reach up and grab their fag....

we partied from canada day till july 5th, we even had a canadian come on the 1st :)

Even more so when you realize that he was trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament, using kegs of gunpowder.

LOL! Well, that would most definitly be a fireworks show, now wouldn't it?

Definitely. Which is why the British celebrate Guy Fawkes Day with fireworks. Google for "Guy Fawkes", "Gunpowder Plot" and "Nov 5, 1605" in different combinations, and you'll find some interesting reading.

Well, Happy Independance Day to all of you on that side of the Atlantic.


Here in the Queens England, we 'subjects' have a main time for blowing things up - around Nov 5th - when I guess we're celebrating a similar thing...

...well, we would be if they hadn't caught him. :(

I amnot american, but Have a nive (independece) holiday~

The 4th is probobly my favorite holiday because i'm a huge pyro, I've been lighting off fireworks since I was five, but now most fireworks like bottlerockets and firecrackers bore me, the only thing that I buy anymore are artillery shells. Thats why I've started making my own fireworks, I have a few tutorials but really all I've made are M80's out of flash powder.

Oh, yes I can hear the fireworks all night till about 2 or 3am.
