Sparrowhawk's Profile
A profile... why not.
Some things I enjoy doing: reading, mountain biking, hiking in the mountains, anything with computers, er, most things really. I love to ski, and just wish I could go on a slope longer than 180 metres.
Partly inspired by enjoying DinkC coding, I went to college to learn a bit of Software Development and am now working with some local developers, using VB.NET and C#.
I have many things I should be doing so writing a profile seemed a good way of putting them off.
I live in northwest England (south originally) and, um, that's about it.
I'm making a D-Mod and have some ambitious ideas for future ones but don't expect anything soon!

Guy Fawkes night (aka fireworks night or bonfire night).
A group of people tried to blow up the Houses of Parliment and the king (James I?) with lots of gunpowder, about 400 years ago on the 5th of November. Guy Fawkes was caught red-handed next to the powder just in time.
So every 5th of Nov. is celebrated by bonfires and (lots of) fireworks. Why they tried to blow it up I'm not quite sure, a Catholic vs Protestant thing I think. Wikipedia's probably got an article on it.
