Bonfire Night - in UK

[rogdeb]

The anniversary of the day a guy named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Hope you Brits over in the Motherland had great night

Didn't burn the house down

Not the same for us ex-pats over here

--- can't even light a match in CA without permission !

I phoned my mum in the U.K tonight. I could hear the fireworks going off in the background.

We have much to be grateful to Guy Fawkes for. Such as your use of "guy" to describe him. I recently learned he's why we call a guy--a guy. Used to refer to the effigy they'd dress up in rags and burn on Guy Fawkes night--the "Guy." Then it became any raggedy tramp or bum. And now, we use the term to refer to any old guy. Even Old Michael.

Happy Guy Fawkes day!
