St Georges Day...

Just a reminder that tomorrow (23rd April) is the official St Georges Day! :slight_smile:

Although it is not as celebrated as many other Saints days, I hope it will be celebrated with as much gusto! :wink:

Info on St George can be found hereā€¦ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Georgeā€™s_Day

Enjoy the day people, and wear your St Georgeā€™s Flag with pride! :wink:

Please celebrate with an English throat lubricant if thatā€™s the way you mark occassions.

Doesnā€™t have to be real ale, there are plenty of decent English wines and ciders out there without even starting on the spirits.

Iā€™m considering riding in to college tomorrow with my large (6" x 4") English flag flapping behind me like a cape.

Good look? :smiley:

Youā€™ll look like a tosser, but why not?

Without wishing to sound like a BNP/UKIP member, itā€™s about time we started properly marking and celebrating St Georges day.

(Even if he never existed or was perhaps/reportedly a Syrian mercenary.)

Fully agree.

The Irish put the rest of us to shame - even if it is used as an excuse for a major hangover the next day !
There was talk about making it a bank holiday, did that all fizzle out ?

Happy St Georgeā€™s day everyone! :D:D

I attached my England flag to the back of my rucksack last year and rode to work. Bearing in mind most of the customers we deal with are non-English, I was certainly taking a risk when I was waiting to go through the gate! :w00t::smiley:

happy st georges day all,:wink:

Thank you for the reminder OG. Mrs J and her sister are already feelnig the benefit of a bit of old English cider and can honorobly say theyā€™re the first to celebrate StGD hicccccccccc:rolleyes:

Happy St Georgeā€™s day to you all.

I shall be enjoying the annual St Georges day event of a half day at work followed by an afternoon & evening of drinking ā€˜bomb-bar-dierā€™ down in Leadenhall Market.

For those of you who work in the City, donā€™t forget the St Georges day parade.

*"April 23rd 2010 will see the revival of a great English tradition not seen in the City of London since 1585. St George, patron saint of England will parade through the streets of the Square Mile, for the first time in 425 years.

On this occasion he will be escorted by the Band of The Parachute Regiment, the Regimental Colour party, Pegasus the Regimental Mascot, and soldiers and armoured combat vehicles. St George himself will be mounted on horseback with the legendary figures of the King and his daughter, and the lamb led by a maiden.

1110 Marching elements depart HAC Ground
1130 Form up in Coleman St
1140 March on the Colours
1145 Depart Coleman Street on pageant route
1205 Paternoster Square
1210 St Paulā€™s West Front
1215 Depart St Paulā€™s
1230 Arrive Coleman Street; march off colours; diperse

The Worshipful Company of Armourers & Brasiers has created this unique event to honour and support The Parachute Regiment and to raise funds for The Parachute Regiment Charity and its own Gauntlet Trust.

This is a glorious opportunity for the City of London and the whole nation to celebrate England, enjoy an historic spectacle and show support for our Armed Forces."*

Will be flying the flag:)

Iā€™ll be carrying one on the tube, might stop off for a Strongbow after work :wink:

Tony Bliar was to much of a suck to business, and you think that miserable git Brown is going to give the English a bank holiday?

Can I borrow a MP5 and a couple of clips, iā€™ll collect on the way to parliament. :cool:

Happy St Georges day all , totally agree we should make it like ST Paddys day and go out and get mullerd !

ā€¦for england, Harry and St. George. Now letā€™s get down to the pub for a pint and a roast dinner.

(With appologise to Bill whatshisname.)

Happy St Georges Day to all. Letā€™s start re claiming the flag so tainted by the BNP and other sundry yobs.

chazhead Didnā€™t know anything about that but itā€™s good to see. Iā€™d be there if I wasnā€™t waiting on a courier delivery that will arrive ā€œā€¦on 23/04/2010 between 08:00 and 17:30ā€. What a bloody useless, frustrating bit of information.

Yes, getting lathered on Bombadier sounds a very noble and English thing to do. The sun is out so one could even take on the lobster pink as is our birthright!!!

Tankards Hoooo !!

Happy St Georgeā€™s day all :slight_smile:
