The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 St George's Day on Monday people. Anyone doing anything for it? A day off work maybe? I'm off to a St George's Day 'do' tonight down Hugglescote. A couple of live Indie bands and a Kasabian cover band too apparantley. Could get messy! With St George in my heart keep me English!!
sphericalfox Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 I'll be wearing a handkerchiefs, a lovely sash, a Bass Bitter hat, and staggering around town being sick in shop doorways with the occasional sword dance.
Webbo Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 Not really an English thing to do though is it?National days are more for lesser nations who need to talk themselves up.

I agree on the whole. I'm only going tonight as its a local night out. Still a time to celebrate if that's what you choose though
Raw Dykes Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 Like Webbo and FIF say, as English people, we don't need to make a song and dance about it like the Celts - it would be rude to rub their noses in it. St. George was Turkish, anyway.
Rincewind Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 Before I came downstairs this morning I found an England flag in a bag of rubbish when making a space in the kitchen. Just dumped it in a couple of large carriers cos my windows were being done. I wonder if I'll get any reaction considering I live in South Highfields? Not too bothered about St georges Day anyway. I believe he wasn't even English and dragons do not and never have existed. I'll display it when England play next. A pub I went in last night were displaying England flags (The Goose? in the market) so I don't know where this notion comes from that the English are banned from having flags.

That's a load of rubbish anyway. Coalville looks brilliant with all the flags put up by the council. There must be over 50 hanging off the shops
Guest Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 If anyone has an old St.George Chess set that they no longer want let me know. I'm looking for one.
FoxyPV Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 No. Fuck that for a bunch of bananas. The only good thing about having a patron saint is getting the day off work.

FoxyPV Posted 21 April 2012 Posted 21 April 2012 Why don't you English fucks do something useful for a change and lobby the govt to make St George's Day a public holiday? I want it done by the time I move over, so you've around 2/3 years to make it happen.
