St Georges Day

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.

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 

Do you want my address to send it on?

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.

Made me laugh that.

The local club in our village always has a Union Jack flying outside, obviously it needs replacing a couple of times a year, as it get's fucked by wind and rain. When we asked the Steward where she buys the flags from, she said she buys them from China (via eBay) because they're just too expensive to buy here in the UK

Nothing shows national pride like fucking off manufacturers in your own country, because they're too expensive, and buying cheap from China 🤣

Can't even celebrate St. George's Day in the wrong month these days 😔

Haven't the government just announced that all government buildings must now fly the UK flag?

Racist cunts. It's going to look like the Nuremberg rallies in every town and city centre at this rate.

These days. Tsk.

Robert Jenrick. The flag shagger's flag shagger.

He'd know that St Georges day is the Eleventeenth of Octvember, no messing.

Oh, it will, my friend.

Is my suite ready yet?

he's just being a bit dramatic............

He'd probably have been better saying "The day that the Media and most of the population really don't give a fuck about" which I think would have been more accurate

Yes

They barely mention it.

It's racist.

This bloke would also know that St Georges day is the 33rd of Febanuary.

What a dick.

Owen Jones will be looking for you! He’s been on TV this morning complaining about flags.

When you're used to being correct, there's nothing to savour as it's the norm.

Enjoy your savouring.

unfortunately the annual St Georges Day on The Rock is cancelled this year, but the usual 30 names have booked for next year and there will probably be more of us.
