Unless this day has been made illegal here yet? Just checked, no not yet

now we just need a dragon to slay

George Lucas got his own day? imagine that

BAH ! Heathens ! We get a day off work here for St. George's Day......(and being equal opportunity people we also take a day off for St. Patrick's day) The Scots & Welsh were smart enough not to settle here so we don't do St.Andrew or St. David

For England and St. George !!!!

I'm wearing my full crusader outfit today.

I would imagine typing on the computer in all that chainmail is ye olde pain in the arse

Were you an extra in "Kingdom of Heaven"?

Oh, 'Kingdom of Heaven'....I LIKED that movie.
I'm sure it was Bollywood....but it was 'entertaining'.

I think they actually spent some money making that.

Hope you have a happy 'St Georges Day' Mace....and no, it's not 'illegal' here.
He's been forgotten long ago, in the 'New World'.


Happy 'Chainmail' day! Now 'THAT', I could run with, as long as they didn't take my AR-15 away....

We still have a holiday for him and we are "close to" the new world

I read this after a Brit I work with mentioned she was wearing a rugby jersey to work today in recognition of Great Britain and because it's frowned upon celebrating there because it might offend minorities.. I wouldn't expect a host country to change for me, so this whole situation struck me as a little odd the way she described it. Odd that you have similar sentiments as her Mace.

Go Saint George !

Go Turkey!

So, what's the best way to celebrate this auspicious day?

I believe it is usual to get rather drunk on beer, and run around with a flag, being thankful you are as English as St George was.

Well, the beer part sounds just fine.

St. Georg(e) is also celebrated in many other countries, especially in Spain, and at a later date due to different calenders used, in Russia. Especially in Russia.

Maybe, but St George is our national saint (forming a large part of our Union Flag*, and the whole of the Flag of England (*Union Jack, only when flown on a ship))...

As a random saint's day ~ sure, why not.... but I miss the link of a Turkish Knight, an imaginary Great Wyrm and England.
