Guy Fawkes Night
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.

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.

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).
