RE: I missed it and it's Guy Fawke's fault

I don't think birthdays should be celebrated. Actually, it should be the mother who should be celebrated (she's the one who did all the hard work, went through a thousand things, and delivered a child). So, without a doubt, it should be the mother who should be celebrated, not the child 😅 I prefer doing it that way, it gets me more excited.

But damn those people who remember my birthday.

I understand everything you're saying, I feel the same way. If you want to celebrate someone or give them a gift, I don't think you have to wait for the day they were born. It can be any time.

I love history (especially car history), but I loved the history of Gunpowder Plot. Can you imagine if Westminster had blown up? I also didn't know that the V for Vendetta mask, was inspired by Fawkes. I really enjoyed the story and all the religious intrigue behind it. I'm going to look for the series to watch it. Have you seen it?

Sort:  

It's a good story, the Gunpowder Plot, of people having conviction and believing in something. What the King and his cronies were doing was wrong and they wanted to right that wrong...gave their lives for it. I'm not into religion and feel a great deal of harm has come from it/because of it, but I stand for those who cannot stand for themselves and admire others who do also.

Yes, I've seen the miniseries and liked it. It will be better if watched with some understanding of the real-life plot. Also, V for Vendetta. Great movie, also based around the Gunpowder Plot story, just modernised. I might watch it this weekend now you brought it up.

Lastly, on the celebrate the mum aspect of birthdays. I agree completely.

I'll be watching the miniseries soon, and now that I've read and talked a bit, I understand it a little better.

I might watch it this weekend now you brought it up.

I feel like an influencer! 😎😂
