As the title says, today is St. Georges Day, have a good one.
How should one celebrate St. George's day?
There's a distinct lack of dragons to slay.
Should we all just go out and get so ratted we start seeing them on every street corner?
Just like every Friday night lol

Am glad to see at last day being celebrated, in somewhere in the manner it should.
The last few years people have been scorned for daring to wave the flag.
Still it will be even better if it becomes a bank holiday as well.
Be proud to be English and your heritage, and more importantly....your country.
Happy Shakespeare's Birthday Day!
Now (geek that I am redface) that's one national holiday I'd wholeheartedly support.
I'd have mass recitations of the sonnets, public theatre in the town centres.
Altogether now, repeat after me:
"What fire is in mine ears? Can this be true?
Stand I condemn'd for pride and scorn so much?
Contempt, farewell! and maiden pride, adieu!
No glory lives behind the back of such.
And, Benedick..."

And the anniversary of his death. I've clearly taught the kids in my classes something they might score a point for in a pub quiz one day. My assembly today - St. George's Day. When I asked what we were celebrating today, loads of them remembered that it was Shakespeare's birthday and that he died on his birthday.
Ok, so does ANYONE know why a chap from ancient Turkey, who never, not once in his life, visited western Europe, let alone crossed the channel to the UK, got to be OUR patron saint. OK he got martyred for his faith - but then so did thousands of others.
Wiki doesn't mention why. Does anyone know?
Oh and I'll join the St Edmund for England campaign whenever it starts. Yay Eddie. :thumbup:
(OMG images of Blackadder springing unbidden to mind. :gigglesmile
St. Edmundsbury would be my choice too, as an Englishman, and an East Anglian.
this to me isnt about st george he just lends his name to Englands day.. im not religious one jot so dont think st this or st that mean anything to me anyway..
why celebrate England day..why not.
there has to be something good about this green and pleasant land worthy of celebration.. funnily enough when walking across one of the fields today it was very green and pleasant..well worthy of some saint and a celebration.

Absolutely :thumbup:
Well I've just been up to Glasgow for the day sporting my St George Cross tie.
One person commented on it at the airport this morning. Said I was very brave.
Several people, including the taxi driver in Glasgow asked why I was wearing it.
Everybody on the training course I was lecturing at (all Scots) said that I was either brave or stupid wearing it in Scotland.
But most shocking, was at Glasgow airport this evening, when trying to get a meal, I was asked if I would remove my tie before sitting down.
Obviously I refused, and thankfully I still got fed.
Happy St George's day to all Englanders.

Hope you have had a good one :thumbup:
