Happy St George's Day -N- That

[Pica Pica]

[Jay]

Your the first person who has actually said anything about St Georges day today...

Strange that when St Patrick's day comes around everyone is talking about it and its everywhere

Maybe because no one really likes the English eh?

To be perfectly honest that flag makes me very uneasy indeed.

Too many links to the far-right and football hooligans.

    * Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.
          o Albert Einstein

    * Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. "Patriotism" is its cult.
          o Erich Fromm, The Sane Society (1955)

    * Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
          o Samuel Johnson

    * Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.
          o George Orwell

    * Nationalism ... is like cheap alcohol. First it makes you drunk, then it makes you blind, then it kills you.
          o Dan Fried, US diplomat (Jan 07)

Guessing your American then?

Nah, American hooligans use the Confederate Stars and Bars I thought.  Stick them right there on the pickup truck.

No! I'm a British Citizen. Father born in France, mother in Canada, grandparents from Wales and Ireland

wouldn't say i'm a far right football hooligan, but i got a little george's flag i was wearing today, if the nice people start wearing one and all..

it's also shakespeare's birthday today, and (possibly) death day.


i'm not really a st george sign, i want a different saint, maybe even an english one. I want the venerable Bede to be the patron saint.

Wow what a mix!

Like Pica, I am not a hooligan & I don't have an ASBO (yet there is always time However I do like football.

So I can wear the English Shirt in pride.. or maybe not so.. depending on how they do this year..

weird strip this year, they look like an eleven piece westlife when they come out in the sweatshirts, i keep expecting them to sit on stools and sing an old ABBA cover.

Well I won't comment on that breakfast you have in front of you!

I love football and actually support England for my sins, you must know the continual anguish and pain that brings us all

QPR as well, but don't like to talk about that as it's just too painful... four managers so far this season

I would probably feel more satisfied and entertained. Email's Fabio Capello the suggestion.

Don't judge a man on there meals

Just as bad as the M->-bleeped-<-ies that I have supported for as long as I can remember. Never won nowt.. but I still have to support them out of principle!

Sorry for taking over your thread Pica.

England is a confused, elderly gentleman who took a wrong turning trying to get from one side of London to the other, and is presently pootling through the Peak District somewhere near Macclesfield.

But he simply will not admit he's made a mistake.

God bless him.
