Jimmy the blue Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 My daughter has just come back from a teaching stint in Zambia. Amongst the last photos she's taken was one of her class rehearsing for their St Georges day celebration, kids dressed up as knights with others prancing about in a dragons costume similar the Chinese dragons. I ended up having a long and heated argument with her because I felt that we do bugger all about St Georges day here why imposed a European myth on African kiddiesa....................to me the whole event is a myth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean our patron saint did not slay a dragon in the name of king and country? I'm having none of that, If it wasn't for fine upstanding blokes like George the country would still be rife with dragon attacks, and quite simply, we would get nothing done!

aaron Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 shit the way everyone (including myself) celebrates paddies day as an excuse to just get pissed, why doesnt everyone do that today? I'll have a drink for our very own dragon slayer tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 A guy suggested on the radio today that we should all fly the flag of St George, toast the three lions and shout God bless the queen as a celebration of our Britishness..................................St George, if he existed, was a Roman centurion operating in Turkey, the three lions came from Plantagenate France and the House of Windsor is pure Germanic stock...........................I would suggest that the last Englishman was Ug the elder who live in a cave on Hilbre Island, all cheers to Ug the Englsihman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 My locals got George and Dragon ale on for tonight, so I might sample a few. Well I think it would be rude not to. :thumbsup_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
