The action over at Get High Traffic is still growing especially in the Site Review Please forum.Reviewing a site takes only a few minutes and it is fun and relaxing from the pressures of trying to out run the engines.  Try to stop in and review a site each day. You'll help a lot of people and feel good too. http://gethighforums.com

Sounds a bit too much like the real world, to me. Outside... bad. Fresh air... bad.Might watch one via a web-cam, though

OK, I will display my cultural ignorance, which is really bad since my best friend is a Brit. I could ask her tomarrow, but I am sure I am not the only clueless one.What is Bonfire Night?

Short answer: I think it's strangely a celebration based upon a terrorist plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament, or something like that. Check out more details here: http://www.kidlink.org/KIDPROJ/MCC/mcc0422.html (call me Mr Google) Real answer: it's an excuse for yobs to buy fireworks from unsavoury shops who'll illegally sell them to underage customers. Said kids will then parade onto the streets and proceed to throw said fireworks at anyone and anything in their path. Lots of fun, huh?

Every other year or so I get to watch a fantastic firework display from my back garden, it takes place in a park half a mile away or so and this weekend saw the skies light up again.One of these days I'm going to have to go down there and figure out exactly who it is putting on this massive display in a suburban area of Bristol. I've a feeling its the Firework factory (yes theres a firework factory in Bristol) or a professional firework display team practicing for a display or a competition somewhere because the only other time other than new year I've seen fireworks this good was at the world fireworks championships in Stockholm a few years back

Where can I find out about other fireworks taking place in London?Went to one on Primrose Hill on Saturday and would like to go to another. TimeOut/Evening Standard websites are no help.
