Who the hell is Guy Fawkes?..

so November 5 is Guy Fawkes night.. and while there is some history behind it (something about a guy named Guy planning to burn down the Houses of Parliment but instead got burnt down himself).. and a couple of us decided to bar the 40,000 people rushing to get to clapham common and have our own little show on Hampstead Heath..



Our little box of fireworks was pretty lame, but we had fun and from our vantage point on Parliment Hill (so called apparently because this is where people once gathered to see the houses of parliment burn down - although it didn't coz Guy got caught) we could see all the random spurts of fireworks going off over the whole city of London ..
