Went to friends (one with big garden) created bonfire, attempted to blow up a pumpkin (pyrotechnics + petrol + deodrant cans) - attempt to film it failed since it went off at the wrong time... got a nice bang though :D

Then just the useal fireworks, withing were mostly uneventful this year (no ducking or diveing to avoide them) bonfire decided to give a few random bangs and spurts though :D

Bonfire night is where Briton's celabrate one's of our history's biggest traitor's. He and some associates tryed blowing up our parliament in 1605 but got caught. They had 36 barrel's of gun powder. The tradition is to have fireworks-gun powder to celabrate and giant bangs, and to burn a 'Guy' on top of your bonfire as this is how Mr Fawkes died.

The reason they planned to do this was to get revenge on the tyrany of James I for his bad treatment of Catholics since the old monarch died.
