What's more, you can even win 250L (enough for some knickers to throw at Sir Tom)
Back in 1605, Guido Fawkes and his cronies wanted to protest on how Catholics were treated.
So they decided that they would try to blow up the Houses of Parliament, in particular the House of Lords, by smuggling in hundreds of gunpowder kegs into the cellar for a firework display of their own and try detonating them on 5th November as the King (James I) was opening Parliament.
Unfortunately for Guy Fawkes, one of his gang was a lag and would blab when he got smashed and word soon spread all over town about this amazing party they were planning. They were caught in the act without so much as a roman candle going off.
Penny for the Guy?
In those days execution was considered as a fitting punishment for minor crimes like stealing a loaf of bread. So they decided on a more fitting punishment and decided to chop Guy Fawkes into bits, hang him for a couple of minutes, disembowel him and do other unmentionable things to embarrass him whilst he was still alive.
Since petty crime only resulted in the severing of limbs and sometimes being boiled in oil, this gruesome torture of being 'hung drawn and quartered' was reserved exclusively for traitors.
Whilst Guy Fawkes was a bit of a shit, he is also widely regarded as a person who knew how to Party.
This is still observed on 5th November every year, when people of Great Britain, literally burn money they don't have and cheer as they see it go up in flames and whoosh into the air and erupt as fireworks.. whilst those who are more sensible collect old logs, burn and effigy called a Guy and create a massive bonfire to roast their chestnuts.

Thank you to everyone who either appeared in, or attended, The War Of The Worlds interactive Stage Show in London City.
The cast all died magnificently in the heat ray and resurrected just as quickly for the Tripod invasion. Everyone deserves to win whatever the SL equivalent of the Oscar's is.
Happy Halloween.. and the events continue today at Substation's macabre collection of music from Bailey.
"At midnight, on the 12th of August, a huge mass of luminous green gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth. Across two hundred million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us, came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth. As I watched, there was another jet of gas. It was another missile, starting on its way.
And that's how it was for the next ten nights. A flare, spurting out from Mars. Bright green, drawing a green mist behind it; a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight. Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was convinced there could be no living thing on that remote, forbidding planet".
Join us for The War of The Worlds interactive stage show, today. London City at 12pm SL time.
Please dress in turn of the century clothing or steampunk if you would like to be with us on the stage for this interactive show.
The War of The Worlds comes to London City on Saturday!
On 30th October 1938 long before television, CBS broadcast a radio version of The
War of The Worlds.
They mentioned several times at the start of the show that
it was a dramatisation.
The format of the show was that of a light music program,
constantly interrupted by reporters giving an account of the aliens progressive
invasion.
What the network had overlooked was that the
average radio listener to jump stations throughout the evening.
As the play continued, more and more people tuned in to the
War of The Worlds broadcast without realising it was a play. Furthermore the
radio broadcast had used real town names instead of fictitious ones, and one by
one each town fell into the hands of the Martians.
Panic ensued as whole towns, swept in waves of hysteria,
packed their possessions and fled to surrounding areas.
A suicide was reported as one woman said she would rather die than be
taken by the Martians. In another town there was a fatal stampede as residents
desperate to leave trampled each other.
The following morning CBS were forced to hold a press
conference to explain themselves and to apologize for the duress they had
subjected their listeners to.
Ultimately with such intense press coverage, this catapulted
the actor who has played the lead reporter, a young and unknown Orson Welles, into
super-stardom. Just three short years
later, he wrote, produced, directed and starred in Citizen Kane.
Join us in LondonCity on Saturday for the interactive stage show version of this most famous of classics.
Our evening begins with a huge mass of luminous gas erupting from Mars and heading towards Earth.
Across two-hundred-million miles
of void, invisibly hurtling towards us, is the first of the missiles that will
bring so much calamity.
Be part of this show.
Come dressed however you like, but to be in the cast and to dance on the
stage, please wear turn of the century or steampunk clothing. Men in cloth caps and working clothes, ladies
in bustles or bonnets, or as maids.
Circa anytime between 1880 to 1940.
