St George's Day in England remembers St George, England's patron saint. The anniversary of his death, which is on April 23, is seen as England's national day. According to legend, he was a soldier in the Roman army who killed a dragon and saved a princess.

It is also William Shakespeare's birthday and death day but few English people have heard of him so he doesn't count.

Oh it's not snivelling bullshit we really have been and still are the most horrendous bastards, we like to big ourselves up and pretend that we're a nation to be proud of with our rich and colourful history but the truth is there is nothing that we won't do to stay at the top of the ladder and nothing we won't do to cover up our abuses. Westminster and local government is infested with pedophiles but still the sheeple flock out in droves to lend their support to the vile kuntz, personally I can't wait to get the hell out of this shithole.Quote:

I have attended many St George Day Balls in Bangkok and they were always great fun with a bunch of people who really respected the event.
Far better then a religious day festival with no possibility of a terrorist attack.
I think that your advancing years have caused you to become confused. Everybody knows that the English do not have balls.Quote:
