uncleheed Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Is anyone else as pi$$sed off as me as all this St Patricks cobblers?Town are having a St Patricks festival for the next five days.TV will be full of ads for it,and radio stations will be hammering Van Morrison and U2 like mad. What I wish to know is are we going to have a St Georges festival and 'English' artists played on radio from the 20th April? If you didn't know,(because no one mentions it),St Georges day is on 23rd April.Also this is the birthday of one of the greatest ever Englishman,William Shakespeare.

bulldog D Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 St Georgewas an upper class snob who spent all day chasing dragons 'cos foxes hadn't been invented. So he was boring! However St Pat was a Guinnness swilling colcannon eater, who liked nothing more than a Ceili with the boys in the shebeen, one day he was so smashed he climbed to the top of Croagh Patrick and kicked all the snakes out of Ireland for a giggle! TOP BLOKE!!!!!!!!! Why does William Shakespeare sound half red indian? if he was proper English he should have been called Farquharson was shakespeare his stage name?

noseyrosie Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 There's a lot of celebration of english culture (As in traditional, i nthe sense that St georges day should represent) everywhere, it's just sad that mainstream culture has rejected it in favour of football hooliganism and clubbing. Anyway, I'm going to start a thread on it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t020 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 We can't celebrate St Georges day as the English aren't allowed to be patriotic in their own country (or anywhere else for that matter) - who knows who it could 'offend'. If you're Welsh, Scottish or Irish though, GO FOR IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
