Is there any particular reason for selecting to go to Gibraltar? - would celebrating St Georges Day not, in theory, be more appropriate in England? Having said that, I guess the weather is always going to be better than it is here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Gibraltarian patriotism strikes me like American-Irish patriotism. The celebration of sommat that never really existed in the first place. I'm celebrating today (the 24th) by baking a cake in the shape of some new fangled and already obsolete bit of technology and then giving someone a dressing down and the sack. Saint Sir Alan's Day. St. George's Day is unecessary. We're the best bit of the best country in the world. We don't need to crow about it. Crowing about it and making a silly fuss is un-English.

little whitt Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 9 hours ago, embankment said: 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. a pint of what you have had SIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I have a suggestion .. Saint Rita of Cascia Saint Rita of Cascia lived a hard and disappointing life, but nonetheless, God used her in amazing ways in life and death. Poor old Rita sounds just the person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
