L/H White Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It would be rude not to Count me in ! A word of advice to anyone meeting up with the Fenny Crew, no matter how drunk they look DO NOT play darts against them for money. Had a great day last year If there's a game of Darts on the cards, I'll fetch my arrows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Nicked from elsewhere "Yeah. After a breakfast of danish bacon, danish sausage, irish black pud and a cup of indian tea whilst watching my Japanese telly, I'll get dressed up in my italian and american branded clothes made by little kids in some sweatshop in the Phillippines. I'll phone a taxi on my Finnish Nokia phone to get dropped off by an asian taxi driver driving a german car,few pints of French lager in a Australian theme pub." Keep that Mick. You can use it in Ireland on St. Pats day; the US on Independence Day or France on Bastille day. Nationalistic fervour never sits well with you lefties does it?

Smiley Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Walked it to work today, so leaving my options open. Just secured the St Georges Cross to the window - so its flying high in the Churchgate breeze as I type! Right, going to dig out some Specials, Levellers and other bits of English music for the day.

Makes you proud eh? It's an accident of birth I'm English - my mum and dad almost emigrated to your neck of the woods before I was born so I could have been born an Aussie. I'm not right arsed either way. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I wasn't born in some impoverished shithole, but equally I'd have been just as happy being born in the South of France or California or *Insert your own nice part of the world.

Traf Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I just don't get this St George's Day malarkey at all. I'm English, yes. Proud to be so? Not particularly. Our Royal Family are German Greeks in the main (plus an offspring of James Hewitt). The country's fucked on so many levels it's untrue. But keep St. George in my heart, yeah right.

Think Traf hits the nail on the head - and his thoughts almost replicated in this song!! England My Home The Levellers You gave me my birth Then you made me pay What is it worth Cast me away You've really done it now Dying in my arms You stand here with nothing But you've still got english charm Oh England, you're my home My heart's heart Crashing thunder of love You're a place of the poor Open wound The lost rites of love You cut your own throat Then you let it bleed Misleading your people From what they all need Roots forgotten That's what we all say But what does it matter You're the USA Why is it England I feel like rubbish on your streets Why is it when I care If feel incomplete Why does our future seem Such a feat When will our consciousness Finally meet Oh, whatever happened to My green and pleasant land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own mate. As I have said before, I was patriotic when I lived there and moving away does tend to multiply it tenfold. You don't realise just how wonderful it is til you move away. In similar vein, there are folk who live in Perth who have never left Western Australia and pour sh1t on this place. Human nature I suppose. The one thing I do know is that each time the world has been on the brink of disaster, a large proportion of the world looks at that little dot on the globe for guidance, leadership and, often, salvation. Wherever I go in this S.E Asian neck of the woods, there is respect (sometimes grudging) for the many good things we have exported (language; commercial systems; Westminster parliamentary system and spotted dick). It is human nature to complain about stuff. Look at the newspapers. They sell based on this very principle. Printing good, happy stories doesn't sell newspapers - stuff that gives people an excuse to moan or makes them angry does. If you, or anyone else called mick brown, isn't proud to be English, then that is your right. All I know is that I am. Mick - you still have time to become an Aussie mate?

Fengshui Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 England may be in turmoil now, but so is the rest of this world. Today is about celebrating our English Heritage and being proud of it. So I will be out today in our national colours, singing old English songs, supping real ale and generally having a bloody good time. Fenny Ps. And on the 23rd of April, as long as I live, I shall be doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawley Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Is it St George's Day? Sorry, what with no-one never celebrating it before I'd quite forgotten. Maybe, Sun-backed Media Campaign and Opportunistic Politicial Showboating of the Lowest Common Denominator Day might be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
