    I'll be going to The Anchor pub by the Thames in half an hour to meet some mates and have a few pints of lager (Carling naturally).

    Doesn't get any more English than that methinks...

    Is is just me, or do more people in England celebrate St Patrick's day than they do St. George's?

    When it was the former, there was just green everywhere but today I've only seen a small fraction of people openly celebrating...even some of my friends didn't know that it was today!

    It's the most charming area in London (along with the mansion road in Finchley).
    After I'd told the world that it was the area in which I am gonna live, I got told the prices :(

    If everything goes well though, I'll get to study in the are though.

    'Don't turn around' was the first big commercial hit

    I finished my sociology project, had a jay in the son whilst listening to Indigo Girls and then went to work.

    I don't do national holidays, or Christians ones to be honest.

    I am aware of that.
    But the area surrounding it, is so peaceful, despite being in the actual city. And it's just charming.

    Well i sat back and thought about why we should be proud of our country, watched a few programmes about England, why we should celebrate!

    Evening i had work, after work i spent the night with Tom

    I didnt feel it was the drink involved with celebrating but merely being about to feel proud about your Country! I enjoyed watching old films, and documentaries about why we are such a popular, strong country.

    I was able to wear my england shirt and feel proud for doing so, to me St Georges day is not another p**s up but a chance to reflect with mates why we celebrate.

    To celebrate something you do not have to be 'in your face' with everyone, flags, shouting we english, singing chants celebration can be quiet reflections on something at home.

    Thats Bermondsey. Bit rough round there. Unless you get a flat right on the Thames path, but you have to be loaded to afford that.

    No, I plan marrying someone who is.

    Or if everything goes according to plan, I am a billionaire by the time I am 35 (without necessarily marrying some who is loaded, though it is a plus).

    There's more than one type of pride.

    You can be proud of your family, your career, what you've been through in life and how you've pulled through. And again, it's good to take everything in moderation.

    Just because you don't bum your country doesn't mean you have no pride.
