NEW CHARM: REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER

by Hazed

The Fifth of November is a very significant date in the English calendar - it is Guy Fawkes Night, also knows as Bonfire Night or Fireworks Night. It commemorates the day that Guy Fawkes along with other conspirators tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, which would not only have killed all the members but also the King. Their plan has become known as the Gunpowder Plot.

They failed, and now every year we celebrate the fact that they failed, or perhaps we're celebrating the fact that they tried and we wish they had succeeded, or perhaps we don't care but just see it as a great excuse to let off fireworks!

You can read more about the Gunpowder Plot on this very informative website.

Anton Gallagher decided to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night this year by releasing his new charm on Thursday which was the Fifth of November. In keeping with the theme, it is a sparkler which puts on a charming display. You can buy it from his shop on Earth for 1 slithy tove, with 'BUY SPARKLER'. Once you have it, you can clip it to your keyring with 'CLIP SPARKLER CHARM', so everyone can see it when they look at you, and you can activate it with 'SHAKE SPARKLER CHARM'.

Last month's charm, the football, is no longer on sale - at least, not officially. However, as always the shop assistant is looking to make a little extra on the side so she will sell you one unofficially for 2 slithies if you 'BUY FOOTBALL CHARM'.
