And we have a new Royal Prince, born on St George's Day.
Shame his brother is already called george.

Nice of the English to celebrate a Cappadocian...

Indeed, it would appear only the Welsh keep it “in house”, with Irish drinking to an Englishman, and the Scots to (what would now be) an Israeli.

Funny old world

Didn't stop George Foreman naming all five of his sons George Edward Foreman.

We could call him Saint.

Yes,happy St George's Day to all! Not many flags out here i notice. A small flag was put out of someone's window yesterday but it's not there now. It was one of those free with the Sun newspaper ones.

He could then when 'all grown up ' become a football pundit with his brother and have the Saint and Georgie show ...

Plenty of flags around here, as usual, but mostly Union or Norfolk ones. Probably more EU ones than English!

I would love it if they picked Fortunatus, or something cheeky like Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, but they'd never dare.

A very happy St.George's day to all my fellow Englishmen.

Why do we have a Greek-speaking "Turkish" Roman soldier who died in Palestine, as our patron saint. They come over 'ere, stealing our work, killing our dragons...

Could it be that the locals were too busy painting themselves with wode to be bothered killing their own dragons?

Give us a chance - the Irish get Paddy's day at the weekend but we have to have St George's on a MOnday so no wonder no one is out drinking

St Happy and St Lucky. At the moment I think we need them rather more than At Farmer or St Dragonslayer.
