Its this Saturday.

 

Any plans to celebrate it and will the pubs goes overboard like they do on Paddys day?

Atherton Colls are at home and the beer will be flowing as usual, I expect a good turn out due to the good weather, BWFC playing on Sunday and the celebration of St George,

I will also raise a glass to Her Majesty the Queen tonight, Happy Brithday ma'am

I dropped my birthday card off last Sunday - saved me the cost of a stamp. It was an amusing one of a corgi licking his bollox.

A pleasant afternoon in Manchester as far as I'm aware.

& not a Guinness in sight.

Breightmet lot will be in town on 'Operation Patriotic' . Tonight I'm doing my mates wedding in Clitheroe so can't get bolloxed on Ma'ams birthday

I shall be getting married

 

Therefore getting pissed and celebrating!

Sounds about right

Bolton town was busy for st georges day last year, might just go out for a drink but I really couldn't care less it being st georges day

Oi, heathen, you should be proud to be English and celebrate the brave English patron saint!!!! 'kinell, not every bloke would kill a dragon for you

, my bad, I just ain't a drinker anyways and all people do is go out and get pissed, they just think oh st georges day let's get pissed without knowing the history. Just like any other day

Some of us are quite grown up about it, dress up as knights and recite poetry in the town square whilst drinking mead.

lmao, well aslong as you dress up as a knight the rest is okay

It's my Christmas Eve, best day of the year without a shadow of a doubt, excuse for a drink my arse !!!

Well, what's so exciting about it BB? Its just an excuse to drink for most people

Brindley will be partying for St George as we do every year with an all-dayer.Wear your England (or Bolton) shirts with pride.Our Patron Saint Our Country.

He's Turkey's too isn't he?

Darcy Lever folk will be celebrating in town. As they've done for the past 10 years.

He's Turkey's too isn't he?

Georgia has a bit of an affinity to him aswell but lets not let the facts spoil the myth

He's Turkey's too isn't he?

 

Not sure about Turkey, but he's the patron saint of Palestine, Georgia, Portugal, Ethiopia, Greece, Iraq, India, Russia, Lithuania and Serbia just off the top of my head.

And Milan.

He's a busy lad.

others just go paki bashing

Isn't it for people who are like proper patriotic n' Religious, I think people see it has an excuse to have a good time, absolutely no harm in that like.

 

I mean I used to think Dragons existed, but was told otherwise a few month back, so the most famous thing you hear about him is made up, just read he isn't even English, I'm not one of these proud to be English type, well what I mean is I only really think of that when England play and they usually make you pissed off. I was born English, I wouldn't have minded if I was Spanish, Portuguese etc.

 

Doesn't interest me at all,just like the Royal Wedding or The Queens birthday, they are just strangers to me, a bit like celebs you have no interest in, was never taught about him in School and I doubt most understand why it's actually celebrated, but will dress up/ take part because it's feels like the normal thing to do in your own society group.

The Komodo Dragon exists, they live in Indonesia I think and grow to be about 10ft long. If they bite you, it can kill you due to their poisonous slobber

 

There you go Diddles, you've learnt something today - Dragons do exist

Poison v Fire, that would be a good match up, until Bruce Lee enters and they get KTFO, this will be sponsored by our very own Blue Dragon, and Dragonfly's will be the judges.
