[QUOTE=Moscow Mule;675426]I'm going to burn a Catholic. Preferably a Scottish one, but French or Spanish will do.

Go to Lewes they burn the pope every year.



I'm catholic I'm allowed to cheer these things

Watch it fat boy!

And all that "5 a day " healthy eating they do down south makes them produce far more methane and so makes them both highly explosive and a bit whiffy.

[BrilloPad]

Northerners are safer though... they have a lot less hot air in them compared to southerners, which can be an explosive risk when set near a naked flame....

Yes - but they are likely to have traces of alcohol - southerners only drink Shandy which does not ignite.....

Well then, being a northerner who enjoys a drink or two, although I’m not fat I’ll just go and line up with the Irish, the French, the Spanish, the Scots and the Americans and wait my turn for ritual immolation. My goodness, there are quite a lot of us and not very many of you.

Looked at from a chemical perspective, Northerners burn best as they have the greatest fat content, followed by Americans.

I might ask what is bonfire night doing for me?

Providing you with an opportunity to shout ‘woo’ and ‘wee’ and ‘whoop’ while watching fireworks to commiserate with that guy who tried his best to blow up parliament.

Well, just to be sure, don’t go drinking too much whiskey tonight. Stick to the low level stuff like beers and wines and you won’t be very combustible. Also, avoid baked beans, cabbage or onions and you’ll be fine.

Thanks for the tip....

Glad I stuck to wine at lunch.... shame about the broccolli soup I was going to make tonight!!!
