Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

Who in addition was championed by all intents and purposes a Frenchman (who may have been homosexual likely bisexual)to replace a perfectly good Anglo Saxon saint. Sounds very inclusive to me.
I have prepared one of my own time capsules. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. |

I'll be out in a bit for pre-semi-final day ales and wishing all a happy St. Georges Day. Cheers. Ollie's Dad,Ash. It's not a chalkboard Ash. It's a blackboard.

You got reeled in there didn't you. A lot of English people don't go big on St Georges's day because they have larger minds. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for a large chunk of the World's population. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (23 Apr 2016 2.44pm)

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (23 Apr 2016 2.44pm) Well said, there are a number of 'St Georges & England Day things' on in NYC today. I wont be attending any & I've always had a quiet satisfaction that we must be one of the few countries that don't deem it necessary to have a parade down Fifth avenue.

Not much, if anything of note, happened in our area. A few flags waving from passing cars and the event just went and passed on by. Not even a dragon to speak of unless you include the bar lady down at the local.
