Guido Forks just keeps on digging. He is sure that eventually be will succeed in getting under the House of Commons. However it is clear he hasn't got there yet as his fireworks this year have missed Parliament by a mile. He hit Eros instead!
Forks told me: 'I don't mind calling a spade a spade. I missed this year. But it is a long way to dig from Hyde Park underneath all those buildings to arrive at the House of Commons.'
I asked Forks what keeps him motivated after all these years. 'Ever since 1605 I have been determined to make a difference' he told me 'and I never say die. I've lived longer than a lot of people and there's more petrol in the engine, don't you worry.'
I asked Forks if he was too hot to handle. 'You should always stand well clear of me when I am at the height of my power. Fire works, you see. I get injured every year by this tomfoolery, but I don't give up. I will reach my goal eventually.'
Humbled by this determined old man, old enough to be my several greats grandfather I decided to join his gang next year but I will say no more - we are plotting to go off with a Bang!
