Happy St George's day!

Its in the title really. Happy st George's day everyone.

Who's he?
:)

Christ, totally forgot!

Who's he?
:)

He was some foreigner who England adopted as their patron saint, cos we've never had anyone else good enough in all our history.

What a load of crap!

we should have a vote to change our patron saint...i would vote Sir David attenborough.

wasn't he Turkish and died of Syphillis ?

Sir David Attenborough! now you're talking, while we're here can we change the national anthem to the theme from the Archers?

Christ, totally forgot!

Important day for this proud nation, then?

:)

...chasing dragons

can't say i'm a patriot, but it should be a national holiday

wasn't he Turkish and died of Syphillis ?

Sir David Attenborough! now you're talking, while we're here can we change the national anthem to the theme from the Archers?

*Pedant alert *Turkey didn't actually exist then, but he was from the land we now call Turkey. I blame the Crusaders for edifying a migrant worker and stealing him as their own. Now where's my copy of the Daily Heil? *Pedant alert *

I'm loving the archers at the moment and one day, when I grow up, I want to be the Agricultural Story Editor. Its all about biofuels these days. That and people with strange names; Ruari and Shula, its political correctness gone mad I tell you.

I blame Ken Livingstone. He's more concerned with St Patricks Day, making sure loads of knobby's can have a 'crazy' day running round with silly green wigs and having their annual Guinness drinking session and totally neglects his own
It's true though, why the fuck do people get so obsessed with Paddy's Day?!

Irish people like being Irish...other people like to think they're Irish.

To be sure.

Its also alcohol based innit.

To be sure.

Its also alcohol based innit.

So it is.

Irish people like being Irish...other people like to think they're Irish.

Too true. Especially Americans

...can we change the national anthem to the theme from the Archers?

Or maybe Last of the Summer Wine?

Well if you slack fsckers associated some booze product with Sam Gorge or whoever he is.. maybe you'd have a worldwide pissup on your hands too?

What's a good English drink then?

the reason no-one celebrates St Georges day is that the English don't need a special day to get pissed, they already have over 104 days a year set aside solely for the purpose of getting so shit faced they forget their own name.

just look at any town centre of a friday and saturday night..

One more can't hurt.. can it? Or maybe that's what all that medieval shit was? English folk sorting out just how many days you can get so hammered you think donkey-meat kebabs are a good idea.

it's not donkey meat, it's elephant leg.

I'd have thought that was obvious

st patricks day can so fuck the actual fuck off actually.

worst. saint. ever.

i think the lack of celebration has more to with the lack of need to assert our nationality, and is linked to the history of rapacious imperialism and propagation of english values all over the planet, at the expense of other nations and cultures.

if englishness ever were genuinely under threat i'm sure you'd see an immediate resurgence of nationalistic myths and traditions in response. this does not include the BNP.

Happy Saint Georges day from me too.
