There now. That's better

Happy St George's Day to all you Sassenachs and Rosbifs! from ;) and

A French flag on a St Geroges day thread? Hang your head in shame.

Am I right in thinking they only decided to add red and blue to their national flag in the 50's? :Whistle:

No, you are wrong! (if you mean the French Tricolore)

anyway, I did it to give you all something to moan about!

f**k all that frog nonsense in here.

Happy St Georges Shed Enders! Fly your flag proud today!

Whats this? The English Paddys day equivalent?

Tell me! How do I not know what St.Georges day is ;)

I was born on the 8th of May so my parents called me George, being so close to St George's day.

Every St George's day I thank God that he wasn't called St Susan...

Anyway, CHD: as far as I know, St George - the patron saint of England - was a christian knight who lived two centuries after Jesus, but before the advent of Constantine's Christian Roman Empire (which, I believe was in 324 AD?!) executed by the Roman emperor for standing up for his religion. He also is supposed to have slain a dragon!

He's also the patron saint of a fair few other places, I think Barcelona in fact!

Cheers!

So patron saint and national holiday, basically it is the equivalent. Happy St.Georges day people who celebrate it.

We're not as lucky as the Irish, it isn't a holiday yet. I think the government would think it as racist.
