    Default Happy St George's Day!

    Here's a thread to celebrate the patron saint of Moscow whose feast day is today.

    Nah, I mean England really Best wishes to you English! You are always kind enough to celebrate St Paddy's day, so here's a beer for you!

    Thanks I suppose..

    So why is this Greek fellow the Patron saint of England? Got nothing against Greeks, but how is he significant to English culture and history? Shouldn't it be St. Augustine or St. Edward or something? Oh fwell.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    I'm sorry, I didn't think we were able to celebrate St George's day in fear of upsetting the muslims in britain...

    Oh well, Happy St George's day Lads!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...
