50 days to the World Cup.
Any particular St George's day celebrations planned for anybody? I'm just gan to watch the football with my dad to be honest, I'll of an couple off of jars off of whatever English beer is available like.
I ofn't seen any **** flying an flag from their* car this morning yet.
What's gan on?
None round here either Kel to be fair. Loads off of dragons knocking about in Wukki't'n though.
Boy on the radio said youse should make St Georges Day a public holiday, I think St Casimir Day would be more appropriate for the workers south of the border.
Being Catholic and brought up on knowing Saints days, and what they were about, I was surprised never to have heard of Casimir, so thanks JJ, I looked him up.
I don't understand why the patron Saint of Poland and Lithuania would ever have anything to do with England. I suppose you could say the same about George, but his cult has been mentioned often in England for a thousand years and he has been protector of the British (well English actually) royal family for more than 500 years.
I would suggest either Boniface (Germany's patron Saint) or Patrick would be more suitable for our patron (both being English). St David is one of not too many patron Saints who actually comes from the country he is patron Saint of (Andrew has nowt to dee with scothland of course).
Or is it just that you think we shouldert of an holiday for England's patron, but Polish and Lithuanian workers should get an holiday for Casimir (4 March, thaks JJ)? I'm not sure I fully understand.
