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. 

My Crusader costume made in China was just delivered by a German courier, I'm flying off to Gibraltar later on a Greek owned airline to get pissed on Belgian lager (now owned by the yanks) in an Irish pub...

Some snowflakes won't like that but fuck them.

They had their St. George Day on Tuesday...😡🤔

In fact I might make my trip to Ringway via The Northern Quarter, I've got some blue spray paint that's due to go off today.

😉😂😂😂😂😂🥳🥳🥳👁🎅🧠💤

There is some doubt about his links to trifle.

But he was knocking about when it first appeared in a recipe book.

Surely not any doubt at all, it get's a mention in Titus Andronicus.......

 

Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,
Blood and revenge are hammering in my head, for my Union Jack beach towel has the stain of another mans trifle upon it

Just seen a car go onto club/hotel car park with at George’s crosses flying out the windows  

 

come On own up who was it??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be fair to Bolty he took pease pudding to the feast...

He also can be forgiven for the beach towel as I expect it's murder trying to source an England flag in Oz...

It's not like he returns to the motherland that often, it's a long way on a Norton Commando after all.

I'm sure he'll be raising a few tinnies of Fosters, Australia's bestselling brew, today though.

Listening to Meatloaf or Eddie Cochran or sommat - anything English and rock-y, no 'afro-american' crap.

Just get an oz one, and cut the union jack bit out, same difference

My lads school have all gone in dressed in red and white. Same as the do every year, probably come he with some sort of dragon or flag crafting too.

Hope every English man /woman has a good day .

And remember your home is your castle . Hopefully each and everyone of you is flying the flag and at some point will be raising a pint of old style bitter to our dragon slaying hero .

I trust your flag arrived in time and is fluttering on your shed?

Proud Palestinians, Englishmen and Ethiopians venerate St George.

And rightly so.

I’m having a smashing day.

Ive been to Ormskirk.

Later, I’m at a socially distanced St George’s day themed get together with the cricket chaps.

desperately unoriginal I’m afraid. It’s all flags, beer and laughter. Soz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😁

Good to hear.  I've rattled off a 10mile walk, doing some more later.

Don't forget the suncream, unoriginal I know but you're a ginger cunt 😉 

The racist fat controller is wrong.

St Patrick's Day was widely derided on here...

If someone points out the other days we'll do the same.

The other home nations and Ireland cause a big fuss because they're crap countries all their offspring bugger off from.

They should be proud of the union they belong to.

We've never bothered with making a big hullabaloo because we know we're great already, and making a hullabaloo is totally un-English.

I paid loads for a true English made cross of St George during Japan/Korea 2002 and it's been proudly flown once every other year since...

If others want to venerate some swarthy lying Cappadocian ponce then knock yerselves out - every day is England's day with moi.

And another thing...

The hullaballoons making a big fuss.

Why do they (a good many of 'em at least) spend the other 364 days of the year opining this country is shit and going to the dogs?

You Navaho types are prone to gout and diabetes and all that aren't you? Don't overdo it.

The country isn't, the people are.

All we need to do is rid these shores of undesirables who don't conform to English values and we'll be right where we want to be.

We just need a list of undesirables so we can start the purge.

I'll start:

Native Americans.💥

I wouldn't know fella, my ancestors are The Mohawks.

Skin matches your wig.

Back off marching now, careful if you see me with a tomahawk in my hand ✋ 

Stone age c*nts.

Potato Potahto

As an aside, there's quite a good book about early English involvement in North America.

'Big Chief Elizabeth' iirc.

I don't normally read 'for entertainment' history books but this one was quite good.

My lad has never heard of Stephen Lawrence he tells me, but is aware of St George’s Day.

My daughters primary school are all celebrating today, making flags etc..

Personally, I think it’s delightful that we celebrate the life of a 5th Century Greek Palestinian who never set foot in England. Shows just how racist we aren’t.

Honestly, if you say you’re English these days...

Nothing at my lads school today regarding St Georges day, it wasn’t even mentioned. 
 

But Stephen Lawrence day was covered in full.

Go figure.

I know one school that devoted the whole afternoon today to teaching the kids the story of Rod Hull and Emu.

From attacking Michael Aspel through to his Pink Windmill habit, Grotrags and Hagrid and his untimely death falling off a roof whilst watching the München.

They made my daughter do her 8 times table after spending less than 2 hours making St George’s cross flags.

The unpatriotic fucking heathens.

I didn't even know SL Day was a thing, what sort of the stuff do they get told about? surely not the intricacies of the case?

can't say I'd be bothered if St. George's day (or any St's day) isn't covered at my daughters school (when she goes)

because

1) Saints, its all linked to God, who doesn't exist, so it's nonsense

2) dragons, they don't exist, never have, so again, it's nonsense

nowt wrong with being proud to be English though, so if you want to celebrate it, crack on, no complaints here

I just don't see the point in patron saints for this or anything, especially if you're not religous
