Celebrating St. George's day?

Yep. Gonna paint my cock with the St. George's flag and have a huge wank looking at Fata. It doesn't get more English than that.
 
It's also the anniversary of Shakespeare's birth and death, so a quote from Henry V:

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!' (3.1.31)

Good question.

We are probably the only country whereby many of it's inhabitants are embarrassed about celebrating our national day. The Mick's, Taffy's and Jock's (Irish, Welsh and Scottish respectively) seem to revel in it as they've been oh so oppressed.

The fact is we have a tremendous history, yet sadly the far right politically have ruined the image of 'Englishness' and we therefore play it down, certainly in relative terms. Strangely, St. George was a Greek; make of that what you will.

Instead of going green, drinking guinness; or waving leeks and singing; or drinking whisky and eating haggis - we have Morris Dancing.

Many decades ago I was required as a Queen's Scout (US = Eagle Scout) to attend a St George's Day parade in Central London.

I was wearing my full Australian Scout uniform which included the right, as holder of 1st Class Axemanship and the Bushman's Thong, to carry a felling axe or a machete. I had a 24" Wilkinson Sword razor-sharp machete sheathed on my belt. (As a party trick I used to shave with it - Scouts were older then than they are now!)

I think the Scout Movement would have kittens now if a Scout appeared in Trafalgar Square with a machete. The UK authorities weren't happy even then but I wasn't wearing UK uniform and the 'damn colonials' were a law unto themselves.

Bushman's Thong. :D
Yeah, I'm immature. :eek:
 
I still don't understand the holiday and I should. I'm an adopted UKer.
 
Think of it like Flag Day. The red cross on white background is St. Georges cross. It flew on the Mayflower, by Drake on his voyages and by Cabot's voyages to Newfoundland. Was as popular as Christmas until the union of England and Scotland. When a 'new country' was born and the flag changed.
 
My great grandfather used to deliver a toast merry England and all those sorts of things at the Empire club in Toronto on St Georges Day. Apparently, it used to be the thing to do throughout the Commonwealth in the day; I'm not sure why all that stuff has gone by the wayside. I still get up for a Rabbie Burns dinner whilst listening to the Bards prose. Growing up in an Irish prodestant neighborhood, we'd have rocks thrown at us if we dared one of the pot likers to join you for a green beer.
It's a funny thing to see how it's all just slipping away. I guess I'll head down to the Legion to see who remembers the good Ole days.
