...and to finish it off:

Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By god's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?

...BURN HIM!

Many thanks for thinking of me.

When terrorists threaten the British people, we have our children
ritually burn them in effigy every year for at least the next four
centuries.

We have long memories for people who *really* piss us off!
