Re: St Georges day
Oh thanks everyone for reminding me it's St George's day - now I don't work I seem to know what day it is (Tuesday) but the actual date often doesn't register. Reminding me means I got to send my brother a happy birthday message before he sends the usual stroppy one saying thanks for forgetting again!!!
So I will be celebrating tonight for various reasons - 1. toasting my brother, 2. blue skies here and slightly warmer, 3. finally getting a new laptop - only about 2 years too late, this thing dies a little more every day, 4. as Steve_P said enjoying being alive and having a good time, and 5 - why not celebrate St George's day and celebrate being English, I personally think more should be done for the day back in UK. After all, the Irish, Welsh and Scots manage to celebrate their days without it upsetting others or coming across as hating other races.

Re: St Georges day
I love St. George's Day, we used to have nice cakes, but the EDL being deluded and racist wankers, have co-opt·ed and ruined the celebration.
