During one of the many meetings that I attented at work today I was fortunate enough to come into contact with a real live British fellow. In my conversation with him I was able to accertain a piece of information that I had been unsure about since the release of the movie “V For Vendetta”. The question I pondered was this, on Guy Fawkes day in Great Britain are they celebrating the fact that Guy attempted to blow up Parliment or the resultant hanging drawing and quartering that ensued. I was assured by the Limey that they are very much celebrating the man’s attempt to explode the King and not his capture. So Cheers to Disidents! They make the greatest of people.
