Definitely. Which is why the British celebrate Guy Fawkes Day with fireworks. Google for "Guy Fawkes", "Gunpowder Plot" and "Nov 5, 1605" in different combinations, and you'll find some interesting reading.

Even more so when you realize that he was trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament, using kegs of gunpowder.

Atleast Michael Collins had a bit of respectability

I do find it odd that they would celibrate a day where someone tried to blow up their leaders..

Well none of my brittish friends make sense anyway, living in flats and getting pissed about it till they reach up and grab their fag....

Ah, the Big Fellow. And don't be forgetting Eamon De Valera.

Maybe we can get a chorus going of "The Rising of the Moon."

Oh, then tell me Sean O'Farrell,
tell me why you hurry so.
Hush me Buchall hush and listen,
and his cheeks were all a-glow.
I bear orders from the captain,
Get you ready quick and soon,
For the pikes must be together
By the Rising of the Moon.
