Yup, I know, it's a while off yet, but do any of you do anything to celebrate?


As it was St Patrick's Day yesterday, it has got me thinking..Do us English make enough of this day of the year?


My wife works in a pub and they are looking for ideas to mark the day. Any suggestions?

St. George was a cavalryman who died a martyr's death in 303 A.D. when Rome was governed by an anti-Christian emperor Diocletian. Later, he became associated with the legend of a mythical dragonkiller, known both in Europe and in Asia. As the legend fitted to symbolize the victory of Christianity over paganism it got reflected in iconography as well. Hence the image of St. George as a brave warrior, victor and miracle-worker. And this is why the so-called George's Thaler was considered one of the most precious amulets in the 16th-17th century European wars.

they should all play pin the tail on the dragon

That doesn't look like a very scary Dragon!

I am all for making it another bank holiday. It will enevitable be used to encourage lots of drinking wearing stoopid red and white hats and roses.
