    When you have such a heavy cold. Why can you not taste anything. But above all only be able to smell bad smells ?.

    Your sense of taste relies heavily on your olfactory system.

    Someone British tell me about Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night. Preferably someone who's seen a few thruought the years. I read about the fireworks and a failed bombing of parliament but what does it mean now and was it ever anti-Catholic as it says on Wikipedia? Just curious.

    I'd say the majority of Brits are unaware of the anti-Catholic connection.

    I happen to be visiting my ex-hometown of Brighton (I lived here for 21 years) - just a few miles away from the (normally) quiet town of Lewes. They celebrate 5 Nov with bonfires and one the biggest fireworks displays in the country, and it culminates in the burning of a huge effigy of the pope.

    I went to the Lewes fireworks display in 1986, when i was living here as a student, and was shocked by the anti-catholic side to it. It seemed quite sinister to me, especially as Lewes was normally such a quiet, peaceful town!

    I cannot remember the historical details behind the strong feelings (of some) in the area, but there will be plenty of info on the 'net.
