St Georges Day


embankment

Recommended Posts

24th March today.

The day the media are frightened of celebrating. 

It is our proud to be English day.

If my new flag had been delivered on time it would have been fluttering proudly above the new shed. A few years ago

Saxon released a live album recorded at The Ritz on this day.

Witnessed by my self and Ashburner St Market and Sputnik Stan.

We spent the afternoon in the Old Monkey and The Circus.  Surrounded by guys who had been to the St Georges day lunch at the Midland Hotel.

I for one will be raising a glass of traditional English stout Ale this evening.

Isn't St George's day usually 23rd April?

You're a month early pal. What a fine patriot you are.

It isn’t quite yet, but no reason to not have a fine English beer!

I've booked it off and I'm spending the afternoon in Lucianos beer garden come rain or shine! 

It's my birthday, not that I'm a massive flag shagger

Haha. My brothers birthday. Thank you for the reminder.

Somewhere in Western Australia, an ex-pat just fell off his scooter in horror.

Not only does he not know what day St George's day is on, he also doesn't know what day it is today  - hopefully somebody can check on him, I think he may have over done it on his meds

That English stout must be way stronger than the paddy version.

But he's correct. The media said nowt about Christmas on the 25th of February either. Couldn't get my hands on any crackers for love nor money

Good news is at least his flag has another month to make its way here from China.

Aye, every month since lockdown started they've sent all the employees a case of beer (or bottle of Prosecco/Wine for those who don't drink beer)  -  I'm getting a bit fucking sick of it now to be honest, as I don't drink much at home, I bet I've got over 200 cans of the stuff in the garage now.

 

Still, I'm sure it'll all get supped when we're allowed people round
