St George’s Day

[Ferguson1878]

I know St George is from Turkey and all that, but do you think the reason he is so popular in England down to the fact it gives us an annual celebration of the complete subjugation of the Welsh?

Turkey ?think you mean Camelot

If I may engage in a bit of uncharacteristic sincerity, I think your English folkways are as adorable as they are quaint. I’m moved to tousle your national hair or, in its absence, pat your national head.

Starting St George’s Day as every Englishman should, in a Spoon’s.

The first 23 through the door this morning get a free Dyche cocktail to start this most glorious of days in style.

 

[LEONARD]

I'll be going to work, and going about my day

I'm happily retired, another day like any other.

Enjoy your day everyone. ( and try not to think of tomorrow from 8pm)

 

[NeilMorepies]

Happy St George’s day everyone and remember that today of all days do NOT say you’re English as you WILL be arrested and thrown in jail.

The Soldier​

BY RUPERT BROOKE
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Going to mow the lawn, with the Walker Brothers on the MP3 player.

Nice cup of tea later.

Makes ya proud to be British!
