Happy Australia Day! Have lotsa fun. 
Burns night? Isn't that where they burn the guy who tried to blow up Parliament in effigy and light off fireworks? I think I've heard it called something like that.
Hey, Falcon, we could use one of those nights....well, maybe a few of them! 
I haven't seen any posts from Lexie in a while. She's probably too busy to post and too tired to celebrate.
I was thinking that same thing, Falcon!
Bonfire Night - November 5th - Guy Fawkes was trying to blow up Parliament but failed - effigies of him are burnt to celebrate - very PC!

Joke: Tony Blair is being shown around a hospital. He comes to a ward full of people who seem to have nothing wrong with them. He goes to the first bed and says "Well, how are you." The patient looks him straight in the eye and says "The best lay schemes of mice and men gang aft aglay!". Tony smiles politely, and walks to the next bed, where the patient greets him with a hearty "Och, gi'us a gift, the gift he gi'us, to see ourselves as other's see us." Slightly confused, Tony tries to strike up a conversation with yet another inmate, but this one just mutters "Och, my luv's like a red, red, rose that's newly sprung in June" repeatedly.
"Is this the psychiatric ward?" says Tony.
"No," the ward sister replies. "It's the burns unit."
