Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I think it's wrong that St George's day is There should be a British patron saint instead of an English one.

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

.......that of course was just a joke :D

Enjoy your patron saint's day :)

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

Perhaps we could have one who actually was in this country...

AFAIKR he never even set foot in England!

So who else is going to be making the annual pilgremige to church & parading yourself in front of the local nutters this weekend?

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I knew someone would have a go at this, even if in jest :pp :)

We have Irish, Welsh and Scottish days with no, afaicansee, jibs at all....so why is the English day so offensive? :)

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

Anyone else flying a[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]today?
We have a foreigner visiting today so we might have to be diplomatic :pp

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

....and of course, in todays equal society I feel that it is grossly unfair to ignore the dragon. It should be St Georges and dragon day :D


Oy! Put that away, you might cause offence :D

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

What on earth are you on about?
"Todays equal society" my backside, our society is nowt but equal.
Don't you know that we have as our patron saint, someone who never set foot here, lived in Palenstien & "was" a forienger!

Just goes to show how muticultural we are...

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

The better half was just about to hang a flag out of the window as I left for work this morning :) I heard on the radio earlier that there's been more celebrations arranged this year than for a long time. About time too, IMO its a continuation of the world cup fever when ordinary people were able to proudly fly a George cross without fear of being branded a racist.

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I think it may just be because lots of people have flags left over from the cup..lol

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I'm in Glasgow for the weekend. Don't suppose it would be a very good idea for me to go out and raise a glass to St George tonight, would it? :disturbd:

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

It would certainly make the evening go with a bang......... you'd probably get to see parts of the city you wouldn't normally consider as well......... though at a guess A&E's are probably pretty much the same all over the country :D

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I don't see why not! If you do, Glaswegians being friendly and generous, someone will probably buy you a drink, and celebrate with you!
:beer:

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I find this remark offensive. :grind: :upyours:

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

Sorry you feel that way, :( it wasn't intended to be

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

What's offensive about it are people not allowed to have a laugh encase it offends you:erm:

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

I think you may be over reacting slightly to what appears to be a bit of humour. :)

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

Apology accepted. But it implies that all Glaswegians are violent and cannot tolerate other's cultures, beliefs etc. , when it is actually the opposite. You have probably never been to Glasgow, as in my experience, people who make comments such as the one you made are the ones who have never been there. Those who have been, usually come back and say how wonderful the people are, and how brilliant a place Glasgow is. In recent years, I have never met anyone who has had anything negative to say after visiting Glasgow.:)

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

Oh please, I started all this off by implying nasty things would happen to me if I toasted St George in a Glasgow bar tonight. Yet I'm in Glasgow, with my Glaswegian wife, visiting my Glaswegian in-laws and looking for a Glaswegian house to buy, as I love this city so much.

There is plenty of English/Scottish banter in our family as you can imagine. My grandparents-in-law are both fervent SNP followers so there's no shortange of live debate either. Yet never have any of us taken it personally. I don't think you were in any way justified in expressing your feelings of offence in such a rude manner and I don't think Stu has anything to apologise for.

BTW, rippedoff, you got banned from this forum. Have you really got nothing better to do than to come back on here with a different username and start abusing people again? You really do need to grow up.

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

Have a great day poeple and a nice sunny weekend !!!

Re: Happy St. George's Day
 

You know it doesn't make much senseThere ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense At a day in his celebration Cause we all know in our minds That there ought to be a time That we can set aside To show just how much we love St. George And I'm sure you would agree It couldn't fit more perfectly
