I suppose this is exactly the right place to discuss this enough "english" expats here

(Help for the non-English amongst us!)

Does anyone know where I can celebrate bonfire night in the Basel area?

I'm hardly expecting a spectacular celebration, but something is better than nothing!

I know this is highly unlikely but you never know

Not directly related to your question, but I could not help posting this quote from The new wars of religion, published in The Economist:

	Quote:
	A RELIGIOUS fanatic feels persecuted, goes overseas to fight for his God and then returns home to attempt a bloody act of terrorism. Next week as Britons celebrate the capture of Guy Fawkes, a Catholic jihadist, under the Houses of Parliament in 1605, they might reflect how dismally modern the Gunpowder Plot and Europe's wars of religion now seem.

Frankly, I would be amazed if that didn't appear in Pseud's Corner in next week's Private Eye...
