6th November - Bonfire Night

* Remember, remember the 5th of November! People all over the UK will be celebrating Bonfire Night. (or Guy Fawkes Night to be slightly more precise!) Remember with your family and friends by sending out these new Greetings!

* There are some new Poems for you to read in the gallery.

* Maybe while you are sitting by a bonfire you can enjoy music from these instruments.
ImageImageImageImage

* A new Caption Contest has started and it has a bonfire theme.
Image

* This week's Minigolf Spotlight award has been given to batman_2008 for their course, which is entitled Mind Bender.

* Neopets around the site are really getting into bonfire night this year with a new background, a sparkler and marshmallows!

Treason should never be forgot, at least not when you can have fireworks!

* If you want to add some fun to your pet page you might think about adding one of these new Fun Images.

* A new Story Telling has just begun.

"You're crazy, Rixter!"

"You mean brilliant." Rixter winked roguishly at his friend and continued cleaning the windows of his small spaceship.

"No, I mean certifiably insane," answered the Eyrie, folding his arms and frowning. "Do you have any idea what you could be getting yourself into?"

* Ah, you couldn't celebrate bonfire night without enjoying a cup of hot soup from the Food Shop now could you?

* Congratulations go out to LowThorBloodFang and TommyTonga! Each has proven spiffier than the rest in the Customisation Spotlight. Voting for this week's contest has begun. Good luck to this week's entrants!

* The Pet Spotlight award of the week has been given to a Pteri called Xailania. Congratulations!

* It appears many Neopians love to celebrate bonfire night in their own gardens and thus the Garden Centre is prepared.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they have now created two categories for the customization spotlight: neocash and neopoint. You only need one neocash item to be placed in the neocash category. Heh, I guess they were tired of no one who purchased anything from the mall winning..bad advertisment for them. :/

Unless I missed something, it looks like they went back and named neocash winners for previous weeks too..And I thin kit is funny that old art has won twice now.

No... but I do like the Kyrii fun image sparkler though. On a firework related note, when we were doing fireworks (we = about 15 flats/houses worth of people) a firework shot off and hit a tree, and the tree trunk exploded into flames. But someone chucked water over it so it's ok. Except for the part when it got blackened :o

*Complains irritably about Guy Fawkes night*
I likes the background though ^_^

I quite like the Fireworks in the Fireworks Background but the bottom of the Background is a bit... dull. My brightness is turned down to about 40% so I didn't realise that there was actually ground in the background until I turned it all of the way up to 100%. They could have made the ground a little bit more noticable.... -prods- ...a bit lighter or something. If it was any other Neopet (other than a Buzz or something that has wings) it'd look like it was just floating there. I guess it's just me that thinks that. ^^;;

That Sparkler looks good though. Yay. ^^
