Remember the 5th

[BDC]

Ah, thanks InsaneApache. I did a search on "Guy Fawkes" and found http://www.bonefire.org/guy/index.php for some more details.

One question strikes me though. The monarchy seems (to me) to be falling out of favour with more and more British citizens, yet bonfire night sounds like it is pretty popular and it started as a celebration that the king was saved. Is there signs of the popularity of bonfire night waning or its original meaning changing (much like Christmas and Halloween)? How do these two seemingly opposing ideas reconcile with November 5th? Just curious.

It falls under the British catagory of 'we don't care, it's an excuse to do something fun'.

Ah, the apathy.

Drinking beer and burning stuff, sounds like fun to me.
