Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: flammableBen on Monday, April 23, 2007, 11:31:33 I go the other way on this. Irish people loads of non-irish people to celebrate St. Patrick's day. English people just suck goats at celebrating. Can't blame legal immigrants, illegal immigrants or asylum seekers.
I will be having some beers though. Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Monday, April 23, 2007, 11:34:46 I blame the fun pubs

Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: flammableBen on Monday, April 23, 2007, 12:34:32 I think one of the reasons that St. Georges day is a bit poo is that our flag sucks goats. We should design a new one. I mean 2 colours. Thats pretty lame. The Irish one is all ready 50% better.
Check out the bad boy flag of Venezuela for example. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/south-america/venezuela/images/flag-of-venezuela.jpg woooot. That's 10x sexier. Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Bushey Boy on Monday, April 23, 2007, 12:35:31 I salute Mr Fleming.

Why didn't England get their own saint instead of appropriating some Turkish bullshit artist? Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: McLovin on Monday, April 23, 2007, 15:31:56 is that image in your favourites, Chris?

Why didn't England get their own saint instead of appropriating some Turkish bullshit artist? can't completely disagree with those sentiments, but isn't the point of it not who st. george was but what he stood for? Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Bushey Boy on Monday, April 23, 2007, 15:49:42 Personally I feel its a day to be proud of being english. End of

Admit it, you were almost persuaded Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: STFCere on Monday, April 23, 2007, 16:24:11 ok, i admit it!
Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Batch on Monday, April 23, 2007, 16:39:06 The US (in general) get less paid holiday days than us until they have worked at a company for a bit. Guess that evens it out.
Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: STFCere on Monday, April 23, 2007, 16:46:47 8 is pathetic, we deserve more, the majority of us working fucking hard and the odd day here or there isnt going to make much difference. the government needs to wake up and realise theres more to life than gdp growth and earnings per capita. It doesnt surprise at all that this country is always low in the happiness rankings. WE NEED MORE TIME OFF!!

If it is any consolation we get 35 days annual leave as well as the bank holidays, the Grand Duke sets how many holidays people get and everyone gets the same. I usually work bank holidays as I get paid 350% overtime rate. Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: herthab on Monday, April 23, 2007, 17:11:06 I'm not really concerned how many days people get off in other countries tbh, as I live in England and am glad I do.
Loads of people bitch and moan about England, but if it's so shit, why are there so many people desperate to live here? Paddies, Taffs, Sweaties, the're fucking everywhere!! Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Bushey Boy on Monday, April 23, 2007, 19:43:27 I only have about 2 weeks a year off in total. Some people dont know there born
Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, April 23, 2007, 20:40:28 Diddums
Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Bushey Boy on Monday, April 23, 2007, 20:49:06 me si? I dont give a fuck about time off, thats what weekends are for. week away and teh odd day here and there is enough.
Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, April 23, 2007, 20:51:54 Quote from: "Bob's Orange" the Grand Duke sets how many holidays people get Now I know you are fibbing Everyone knows the Grand Duke lives in York, not Luxembourg Title: Happy St Georges Day Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, April 23, 2007, 20:55:38 That's the Grand Old Duke of York. The new one lives in the 'bourg, Fred.
