Just another day to me. Why don't we celebrate Human Race Day and piss off a few Martians.

I am not sure how English I am. I have probably got some Roman, Viking, Danish and Norman genes in me.

I did have a roast pork dinner today so I can say I did my bit.

Is he wrong though?

No. But why do all these people only do this today?

 

You never get all this in March with folk desperate to shout from the rooftops about how St Patrick wasn't Irish.

St Georges Day is Morris dancers hitting each other with flowers.

Think you might have had a few and confused it with Leicester pride.

I like being British. It's a beautiful country and I've had more opportunities in life than most thanks to my nationality. Still, I'm not sure I could ever be 'proud' or 'ashamed' of my nationality when it is essentially just a twist of fate.

I'm proud of Britain/England rather than proud of being British/English. The latter is just an accident of birth.

This/this.

 

You can be proud (and also critical) of the place of your birth but why be of your nationality when it is just chance?

Semantics, we are saying the same thing.  I am proud to be able to call these places home.

ST Patrick's Day is a piss up. St Georges Day is Morris dancers hitting each other with flowers.

Which one do you prefer? To me its a no brainer.

You could look at it like that or, you could have 364 piss up days and 1 day watching morris dancers hitting each other with flowers whilst you detox.
