    It's Guy Fawkes night/bonfire night here mf.Lots of fireworks going off right left and centre!

20. By concon Nov 5th 2009

    Ok I guess but the fireworks stated early. The bad thing is you cant see them in the day so you dont know where there going off! And my town is VERY dodgy.

21. By michiganfrog Nov 5th 2009

    Ah
    I wish we had something like that

    It will be on again tomorrow and Saturday and probably Sunday too!

26. By michiganfrog Nov 5th 2009

    We don't have any celebration for Guy Fawkes day as he isn't important to our heritage. The only day when we have fireworks really is Canada Day or New Year's.

27. By concon Nov 5th 2009

    Animals hate it! Do you know much about Guy Fawkes night MichiganFrog ?

28. By michiganfrog Nov 5th 2009

30. By Finlaybear Nov 5th 2009

    Which I see he has now edited! We have builders over here mf unless you live in a stadium or something massive.

31. By concon Nov 5th 2009

    It was a bunch of guys wanted to kill the king so they hired Guy Fawkes to do it for them but he was caught about to light barrels of gun powder off under the parliament. Google it cos I cant really explain it.

32. By michiganfrog Nov 5th 2009

    Oh its that Canadian/British slang war again I see!
    Yes, I have heard of it, I just didn't realize that it was today and such a big deal.

33. By Finlaybear Nov 5th 2009

    It was a Catholic plot. When Guy Fawkes or Guy Faux was caught he was burned at the stake hence the bonfires. Incidentally apparently the word bonfire comes from bone fire which is what used to be burnt. Yuk what a smell that would make!

34. By concon Nov 5th 2009

    Fawkes is notorious for his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. He was probably placed in charge of executing the plot because of his military and explosives experience. The plot, masterminded by Robert Catesby, was an attempt by a group of religious conspirators to kill King James I of England, his family, and most of the aristocracy, by blowing up the House of Lords in the Palace of Westminster during the State Opening of Parliament.
    
    The plot itself may have been occasioned by the realisation by Protestant authorities and Catholic recusants that the Kingdom of Spain was in far too much debt and fighting too many wars to assist Catholics in Britain. Any possibility of toleration by Great Britain was removed at the Hampton Court conference in 1604 when King James I attacked both extreme Puritans and Catholics. The plotters realised that no outside help would be forthcoming. Fawkes and the other conspirators rented a cellar beneath the House of Lords after having failed in their attempt to dig a tunnel under the building. By March 1605, they had hidden 1,800 pounds (36 barrels, or 800 kg) of gunpowder in the cellar.
    
    A few of the conspirators were concerned about fellow Catholics who would have been present at Parliament during the opening.[13] On the evening of 26 October Lord Monteagle, received an anonymous letter warning him to stay away, and to "retyre youre self into yowre contee whence yow maye expect the event in safti for ... they shall receyve a terrible blowe this parleament".[14] Despite quickly becoming aware of the letter—informed by one of Monteagle's servants—they resolved to continue with their plans, as it appeared that it "was clearly thought to be a hoax".[15] Monteagle had been made suspicious, however, and the letter was shown to King James. The king ordered Sir Thomas Knyvet to conduct a search of the cellars underneath Parliament, which he did in the early hours of 5 November. Shortly after midnight, Fawkes was found leaving the cellar the conspirators had rented and was arrested. Inside, the barrels of gunpowder were discovered hidden under piles of firewood and coal.[16]
    
    Fawkes gave his name as John Johnson, and was tortured over the next few days in an effort to extract from him the names of his co-conspirators. Sir William Wade, Lieutenant of the Tower of London at this time, obtained Fawkes's confession. For three or four days Fawkes said nothing, nor divulged the names of his co-conspirators. Only when he found out that they had proclaimed themselves by appearing in arms did he succumb. On 31 January, Fawkes and a number of others implicated in the conspiracy were tried in Westminster Hall. After being found guilty, they were taken to Old Palace Yard in Westminster and St Paul's Yard, where they were to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

    hmm well we talked about the Salem Witch Trials today in school, but that's about it for my connection to Guy Faux? Fawkes?.

37. By nitrome Nov 5th 2009

    did you just copy that from wiki concon?

38. By Finlaybear Nov 5th 2009

    Either that or concon's spelling has vastly improved nitrome!

39. By concon Nov 5th 2009

    LOL
    
    Do you live in Kent? We don’t. Why? Well let’s put it this way, it doesn’t quite have the glamour of New York or the history of Rome.
    
    All is boasts is a Primark and KFC – just like everywhere else. If only Kent could offer us something amazing. Something that we could only see in Kent. Something that people would travel for miles around to witness. Something wish-fulfilling.
    
    
    
    

40. By Finlaybear Nov 5th 2009

    I thought he was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Still it is English History and I am Scottish so what the heck!

41. By concon Nov 5th 2009

    Why are you confused mf, some towns choose to burn effigies of someone living rather than a guy. Simples! Oh no, now you are going to tell me you don't get the meerkat ads either aren't you?

50. By michiganfrog Nov 5th 2009
