Having said that, I know quite a few people who had fancy dress parties this year, and I was invited to one.  I did spend a good hour selecting my outfit, and then 2hours in makeup before I got to the party, but it certainly had the desired effect.  (Although I was a bit worried that some of the younger people didn't understand what the grim reaper was!)

What we do celebrate is Guy Fawkes night on 5th November (otherwise known as bonfire night) where we light fires and let off fireworks to celebrate some bloke attempting to burn down the parliament.

And Facebook... I have tried every time I check the forums to "become a fan" but it doesn't work for me.  I have tried searching for gaming podcast directly on Facebook, and can't find it there, not can I see it on any of the pages / groups on derrick's profile.  I'm sorry that I failed your challenge, and perhaps should hang up my keyboard and mouse...
