ditto.

 

And the excuse that, The Irish do it so we must, is the reasoning of an 8 year old.

 

How's about celebrating with fireworks, carnivals and the like instead of just boozing it up?

 

Australia Day and Independence Day should be our points of reference for patriotism as opposed to the Guinness marketing genius...

St George's Day leaves me cold. What's the point of celebrating a saint's day anyway, nobody else apart from Ireland does?

 

Norway's national day on the other hand is a great day with parades, flags and parties all over the place. The main difference for me is the way people handle their patriotism. Too many English people are unable to love England without hating other countries. They seem to need an unhealthy dose of hatred in their patriotism.

 

Norway's national day, and probably that of many other countries, is organised with the kids in mind. It's essentially a day especially for children which makes it far more heartwarming than people spouting on about empires and once being the greatest country in the world but now it's being ruined by immigrants/new labour/Rupert Lowe blahblahblah or getting drunk on proper English beer.

A good idea Scudamore, but I think we need to focus on something more worthy than the memorial day of someone who may or may not have existed, almost certainly didn't slay a dragon, definitely never even visited England, and whom we share as patron saint with numerous other countries.

Fine by me. Any suggestions? Matt Le Tissier's Birthday perhaps?

Can't believe you are even asking, what with it being such a recent memory...

 

It clearly has to be Englands Princess, the one and only Jade Goody.

A fitting tribute if ever I saw one.

I shall visit the pub tonite as I always do, not to celebrate St Georges' day, as I hate the lizard killing Turk, but the landlady has a great pair of clangers and does a great trick with a jar of gherkins.

 

We NEED a new St. George!!!

I have the day booked off... show some f*cking pride you c*nts.

 

I am off to the pub in a minute to get smashed on real English Ales.

 

Keep St George in my heart, keep me English.

 

 

Yeah, nothing like showing pride in a Turkish knight who we employed the services of during the crusades. Wowsers!
