Happy St George's day my fellow englishmen

This evening, to celebrate, I will go down to my alottment, harrass some worms, and drink a few bottles of ale.

And while I am there I might just contemplate cricket, the english countryside and er.. other stuff.

Why is it repeating the word 'ale'? I tried to edit it, and it only appears once. Perhaps vbulletin is feeling the spirit of St George (who was probably t-total, and Syrian).

Congrats.

Although, have they managed to get a St.George's Parade going in Bradford or other cities this year? Had a few English mates who were pretty miffed about parades being cancelled because of Muslim protests regarding the flag.

These stories get created by rightwing sympathisers. Nothing ever gets cancelled 'because of mooslims' - they just make the s*^% up to get it in the paper.

If the English have allowed their flag to be adopted as a far right symbol, it's their own fault.

To be born English, is to have won first prize in the lottery of life.

It does that sometimes with the last word in a sentence, no idea how to fix it.

In any case, happy St. George's Day!

I heard the flag tends to get associated with racism and the far-right, although the ordinary people were starting to claim it back for themselves in much the same way as the Saltire or the Welsh flag are used.

I want a Saint Benedicts day for those of who feel European more than English

Why do you hate dragons?

**Subotan** · 04-23-2010, 20:28

I like dragons. Dragons are cool
