Fire, Rookies and general blowing stuff up!!

I've just finished getting through another Bonfire weekend in Lewes! For those of you who have never been there, it chaos, unbelievably organised chaos!!  Fire is the main theme, with effigies and torches held by all the bonfire society members as they march around the town.  All dressed as smugglers!!

Rookies (really powerful fire crackers) are thrown everywhere by the young (I'm talkin 6 and over!) and old (one of the oldest members is 92!). It's amazing to watch and you can't really hear for a couple of days but wouldn't miss it for anything... Kinda like Arsenal.  Amazing to watch, most of the time, and when it's not you don't really want to hear for awhile.  The media seem to be warming to the fact we are looking and playing with more confidence and spirit. That's a nice feeling because I for one was getting sick of all the negativity they were spewing out game after game when we started to pick ourselves up.  So International break is apon us, and that give some time for the injured to recover and the others not playing to rest...

So to re up what littlemsgooner said in the previous blog, lets all cross everything that none of our boys come back hurt....

P.S. and to The Dog in NY, don't forget my crackers, please!! and syrup!! We love you xxx
