Well, guy fawlkes night was fun. And the police report I ended up filing was a nice touch.

We finished letting off our fireworks, when some crazy Irish guy came up to us and accused us of "stealing my table and chairs". God only knows what the hell he was talking about, but apparently he'd been down the road to some massive bonfire, and the guys there had told him that someone had come along, dumped a bunch of furniture on the fire, then sodded off. So we told him (rather nicely) to bugger off and question that it might possibly be the people who were actually up there dancing around the fire, rather than us who were miles away, happily minding our own business.

Anyway, we went to deposit a pile of used fireworks in the bonfire up the road (I know, I know, never put a used firework in the fire. I'm a professional, never mind me). We saw Crazy Irish Guy storming up towards the bonfire, saw about 10-20 people hanging around there and decided that we'd be better off going to the smaller bonfire a wee bit away. So we turned around and walked off to the other bonfire. We got most of the way there, then we heard a bunch of neds shouting at us, and a bottle smashing somewhere behind us / on the right. So we kept going till we got to the bonfire, then we chucked the fireworks and turned around. I saw some ned kicking one of my friends friends on the ground, then squaring up to my friend and saying "Who's next?". My friend replied "Uhh, I guess that's me". It's here that I shouls point out that my friend is about 6'4" and build like a brick shithouse. So the wee ned punches him, then my friend smacks him one and the wee ned flees off into the neighboring bushes, followed by his 5-10 friends.
We walked back to my friends house (Where we were having the fireworks), and as we got to the door, we saw a bunch of guys - more than before, probably 10 - 20 hanging around and shouting at us. We went inside and my friends dad called the police. Shortly after that, a fist sized chunk of rock bounced off my friends car's roof and hit into the front door. About 20 minutes after that, the police turned up - after us phoning again to let them know that there was a sizable dent in both the car roof and the froont door...

And because I've been drinking, and you don't know anyone or anywhere I'm talking about, here's a diagram. Courtesy of Google Maps:

Red dot: Main bonfire where we were going to go
Yellow dot: The wee bonfire where we ended up going, and where the shit hit the fan
White dot: My friends house


Anyway, I have to be up in under 7 hours. Bed for I...

Ah, the rise of shithead culture in England.

Breathe deep, boys -- that's what we've got coming for us in North America soon.

That sucks.

Should've used the fireworks on the neds - I'd imagine the world would be an altogether better place with one less ned [lol]
