I am being visited by an American (online) friend of my daughter's tomorrow - Sunday
Please comment: is it a good idea to take said friend a) to Nov 5th celebrations b) feed him traditional English Sunday dinner?
He's only staying one night en route to Amsterdam
I would suggest do what ever you would do normally. If you don't have a Sunday dinner then dont have one specially, unless they ask for one. Though it doesnt really matter.

Always have Sunday dinner (hope he's not a veggie!) and the local firework display is tonight.
Weel - and Im not JJP - I'd go for the Sunday dinner because its indoors and there might well be rain tonight.
And Im wondering if this will get straight though as its quarter to 11..
Nope

a) No - a tactless reminder of the war in Iraq.
b) No - many American's think BSE is rampant in the UK and he my think you are trying topoison him.
Tell him about your close association with Shakespeare - the seem to love anything more than 100 years old.

That's ok - I've got lamb.

So true, so true. Like the correct use of the apostrophe to begin with. So quaint.
Caution: Irony on the board. Carry suitable equipment.
I think his age and interests are more important than him being American, Lady M. If he's your daughter's age maybe he'd like to go off somewhere alone (presumably your daughter's somewhere else) in the evening or just chill out between hops.
I'd just mention the Bonfire thing and if he expresses a wish to go then do it. If you offer to go he might feel obliged to go aong but in reality watching the natives practising their anti-Catholic rituals on a cold rainy November evening might not really be his cup of tea.

Isn't it as well no one actually acts out the drawing and quartering bit in effigy?
And,just by the by, is there any American equivilant to Guy Fawkes day? Is there a burning of Benedict Arnold[?] or something?

Martine - lovely to hear from you.
The CR'S will no doubt enjoy their break whilst you are posting.
I wonder whether Nicolas Scorsesee will resign?

I think foot and mouth passed by them so you should be ok.
He'll be wanting to know why we burn guys on bonfires and why we celebrate with fireworks..
DON'T TELL HIM
I think foot and mouth passed by them so you should be ok.Ìý That's what the American beef industry wants people to believe. Surprisingly enough, the U.S. government concurs.

Are we acquainted, if I may ask? Who were you back then? Just a hint will suffice, I quite understand if you wish to turn over a new leaf...
S'arko' (for it is he) will certainly not resign and why should he? And the CRS seldom hit, shoot and leave these days...

And funnily enough, I don't think France was much affected either. A miracle wouldn't you say?
BTW was the Prince of Wales's Today interview dissected in TB? I thought he was brilliant.

Why tis Duncan of course. I may eat shoots and leaves but would never turnover new ones.
I can't keep up with all your screen names Dunkie. But the cockiness should have alerted me. Would Shirley be the new, softer, mellower Duncan struggling to get out? Will you stick with her? Will she make an honest man of you?
Greetings anyway, for old times' sake.

The wonders of the new system mean that all my posts are currently ascribed to you - have a look.
I will change my name again shortly as I wouldn't want anyone to mix us up for either of our sakes.
