Aimed at the English on here.
Do you celebrate this, if not why?
I would, if only for the excuse for a few beers but no one ever seems interested.

Shame on you...
Yes, I "celebrate".
I think a celebration of all things English is needed like football, drum&bass and chicken tikka masala!
Any other suggestions?
Stella or Cider!
Skive: Stella mais non, Cider's good though especially the cloudy homebrewed stuff found in the West Country always good to start off a party!!!
How about some of that Bombardier Ale? Fuller's London Pride? Newcastle Brown?
With pie and mash, Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding or good old Fish and chips.
And how about some proper English music? The Irish have some great pub bands. Bring on the English ones!
think about it ...the guy chased the dragon. how the do you celebrate that?
hush you.
The guy who invented Guiness came from London. If we can't have a national hero, then the Irish can't have a national drink. The Welsh.....don't have anything :P
Yes, but he was naturalised as a Brit in situ by Lord David of Blunkett
St george's day has been allowed to die a death, can't revive a corpse
St Plastic Paddy's Day on the other hand has been boosted by US Irish wannabees and in UK by Livingstone who's fond of all things irish esp Rebublicanism
Most authorities on the subject seem to agree that he was born in
Cappadocia in what is now Turkey, in about the year 280 AD.
Quite ironic when you think about it.
Muck, I think you'll find St Patricks Days biggest promoters outside the Irish community are the pubs and Guinness.
Boot this sponger out now demand furious Britons
Now that's a headline you are unlikely to see in the Daily Hatemail or the S*n.
St Patrick lived in Carlisle for a while.
Point?
He didn't kill a dragon either. If my memory serves me he ended up in a dungeon somewhere.
No real point, just wondering why a 'foreigner' is the patron saint of England is all.
a foriegner and ended up in jail and ended up becoming englands hero!
theres still hope ...
See the earlier link
Perhaps for the same reason that a foreign house has long occupied the throne of England.
:rolleyes:
It was the nut roast veggie option at the carvery at my fellas grandad's golf club that converted me from vegitarianism to full on meat eater!
Ill go for the celebration of drum&bass... definately... and combine that with a celebration of rugby (football is just crap) and other British things... such as :chin: erm...
I dont go for St George's day, anybody who needs to have a myth made up about them to make them sound more heroic and exciting doesnt deserve celebrating in my books.
And, the British dont really need another excuse to get bladdered!
clan ...what you don't understand about the english is they know the royal family are realy german but somehow choose to ignore that little irritation and cling to this british traditional fantasy ...very strange.
there'd be fucking uproar if they were yanks!
Apart from Prince Philip the Greek asylum-seeker.
also known as the peoples Xenophobe!
I dislike the Royal Family.
Fuck off you twat.
