Happy Saint George's Day
 
OK, so he was born in Palestine, never came to England, & probably didn't kill any dragons... but he's still the Patron Saint of England & my fellow English CF members :)


So Happy Saint George's Day :)

Err never did understand this day last time I tried to do anything for the day I got informed that I was a racist for doing so...hey ho.

Might have a pint to celebrate this once great nation.

Having taken my confirmation name as George in honour of St George I take today as my 2nd official birthday. Therefore I am having a day off of work :D

IIRC the Irish celebrate slavery ie the kidnapping and selling into slavery of St Patrick.

According to a friend of mine, he is also Patron Saint of - Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Germany and Greece. He's also the Patron Saint of the Scout movement, soldiers, archers, cavalrymen and chivarly, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphillis!

well that just about sums us English up!:)

Whoever or whatever he is, I hope you all celebrate his day (and that's from a Scot).
