Guy Fawkes Night

[Brent]

On this day, November 5th, in 1605, Guy Fawkes and several Catholic terrorists tried to blow up parliament thus killing Kin James I.

So, what does this entail for our UK users, aside from like fireworks and drinking?

Erm...... nothing really.

There's no official ceremony or anthing really. Everywhere just has big fireworks displays and bonfires. Excuse for a party tbh, I think it was probably a bigger deal in the past.

Is this like V for Vendetta?

[bhaarat316]

Also they had bombs in 1605.....

Gunpowder my friend.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

A truly good man!

[trekindude]

The only advantage to the day other than the drinking and firworks, is the occasional fatality to someone who should be taken out of gene pool for standing in the way of a firework when its going off.

[Brent]

nothing really.
That's what I figured but I was curious because when I read about it online it sounds like a bigger deal.

[bored of education]

Guy Fawkes makes me think of something dirty.

Exactly like "V for Vendetta".This was called the Gun Powder Conspiracy. All the masks are actually *** Fawkes masks

[bored of education]

Who called me a *** fawker?

[Wooty Magic!]

Actually his real name was Guido Fawkes. Seems like from what i've read from him.

I don't know how this day relates to a horrible movie with some of the worst, most overrated dialogue since the Matrix (no coincidence).

Watching First Wives Club would be more enjoyable than watching V for Vendetta.

Apart from drinking and seeing a bunch of fireworks nothin really.

A pub my mates cousin owns is having a barbeque and fireworks etc. so will just go their tonight and get wasted.

Pretty much what has already been said, it's an excuse to drink.

At least High School Musical 3 will have better dialogue than V for Vendetta.

Figures. Though, in America, we celebrate holidays that have nothing to do with our country just because we want excuses to drink and not seem like complete alcoholics (i.e. Cinco de Mayo & St Patrick's Day).

Well in Cincy I know we celebrate St. Patties and Oktoberfest because there is/was a very significant German and Irish population here. I think our Oktoberfest is the largest celebration of said holiday outside Germany.

I wish we recognized such a great day here :( . We only celebrate the other Pulaski Day in October, which involves me riding around in a parade if I so feel.
At least our Dyngus Day kicks ass.

Dyngus Day should just be called the day before Buffalo has a hangover.

I hope you all drink Guinness on Paddies Day!

[CJSchneider]

Only if it's green.

[giantsfan]

I'll drink guiness on st. patty's day, but only if it's vodka.
