It's Englands *not Britains :rolleyes: * 4th of july </font>[/QUOTE]Yes - the day we got our independence from the dragon! ;)

Happy St George's Day. Wear your rose with pride.
</font>[/QUOTE]How come you and the Catalans share the same saint patron ?

In Catalunya, San Jordi, also serves as something like their Valentine's days: he gives her a rose and she gives him a book. [img]graemlins/1daisy.gif[/img] (well, that's is as close to a rose as the IW smileys go :disgust: ;) )

I think its a beer thing, where all of Britain gets shit-faced. I could be wrong though, they may do that every day [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ROTFLMAO LofA.

Gutted I never had a beer today, 1st St Georges day ever without beer. But yes it's a beer thing. We all sit around a round table, drink flagons of grog into the knight by George!!.... and then go home to a dragon that slaughters us.

At least that's what usually happens with me. :D I think...
