November 5th

[Mister Fixit]

As a Brit in BKK, can anyone tell me if there is anywhere which does a Bonfire Night party this November 5th?

If there is more than one, does anyone have any recommendation as to the best?

What's a Bonfire night?

You can have a "Big Bang" any night, why wait till November!

Guy Fawkes was hanged, drawn and quartered for attempting to blow up Parliament with barrels of gunpowder under the House of Lords back in 1607. For some odd reason, the British celebrate his capture on Nov 5th with fireworks and bonfires.

Well done for using the correct version of 'hang'. Most people would have said 'hung, drawn ... etc'.

Well, er, yes, the ladies always say that there's fireworks whenever I'm about, but I was thinking more of Bonfire Night ...

And I'm STILL waiting for a reply about the subject ...

Thanks! One of my pet peeves is the misuse of the word "hanged". That and "impact".

Why? Does misuse of English 'impact' on your sensibilities? Ouch!

I want to celebrate it too. Hope I'm well hung on November the 5th.

[Morden]

I've not heard of Guy Fawkes Night being celebrated anywhere ourside of England. Great idea though! The Thais will happily celebrate anything so I guess that they just have to be told about it and you've got a bonfire. They like big fireworks too I hear.

It's my birthday that day so I would be up for a night out but, sadly, I shall be in the UK.

Good luck - and enjoy!

Hmmmm Oxtail soup and pig roast!!!

Now let’s be serious.

You can not have Bonfire Night without potatoes in the fire and a bag of sticky Bonfire toffee.

[Totster]

Very true edd...

my big night when I was growing up, was November 4th - which was when me and my mate would sneak through all the gardens and light the bonfires that folk had prepared ...

what about 'impact' ???

There was a Bonfire Night 'do' at quite a few Brit pubs on Koh Samui last year.

1605

[sbk]

Dr pp, I believe he was hanged in 1607, but caught in 1605?

[dr_Pat_Pong]

Caught Nov 5 1605 Executed Jan 31 1606 ( Google is my friend )

[sbk]

Oh well, I got mine off some british Guy Fawkes website. What do they know!

Anyway, why do the British celebrate this poor guys death? I mean, really all he was trying to do was shake up the system abit.

[dr_Pat_Pong]

I think that the Brits really want to perpetuate his memory for at least trying to rid the place of parliament

That's right. It demonstrates the British people's healthy disrespect for Parliament.

[Rumpole]

Pity he's not still around. We have work for him.

You're not a fan of Soccer either, Insight?

Actually, the only bonfires we have out in Suphanburi are those who are burning their trash!
