Fatcatsplat Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Get the red roses on chaps and let's celebrate England tomorrow. Warm beer, fish and chips, pork pies, pickled onions and all the other loveliness you can conjur up!!! For everyone that moans about it not being celebrated, get out there and start singing Jerusalem and making jam! Tomorrow, mine will be a pint, followed by a steak and kidney pudding and more pints followed by an array of drinks from countries that we have owned, invaded or inconvenienced in the past, followed by some low level civilized (and obviously modest) banter regarding our industry and sporting prowess p.s. 1) I know he's not really English, but neither's God or Santa!! 2) This is not an excuse for all the usual suspects to post yet another pointless a) send them all back or B) I'm emigrating 'cos this country's had it thread!!

ack-ack Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Good stuff! I may well take the time to walk around the science museum and marvel at all the stuff that we've invented and given to the rest of the world, or the British museum so that I can paruse all the stuff we've chored whilst attempting to bring civilisation to the globe but I should imagine I will in fact go to the Imperial war museum to gloat over all the folk that we've duffed up over the years. In reality I will be at work but I shall dedicate the first pile we sink to St George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) For the past 13 years I have been blissfully unware of the date of my wedding anniversary, Mrs TD informed me that is in fact today St Georges day and that we've been married 13 years, I said "Blimey I must be due a medal by now" "What for ?" she asked "About 12 years, 6 months and 2 weeks" I replied And, As I told her, "George may have his day, but it's me who really got the dragon" :lol: Edited April 23, 2012 by TaxiDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
