I'm wearing a red jacket and white trainers (amongst other things, but none of the other things are red or white).

I fancy some crumpets

Crumpets are English, right?

With complete indifference.

So I happened to be coincidentally born in one country rather than another. What the fuck do I want? A medal or something?

Why are you having an argument with yourself?

I was unaware of these medal-awarding ceremonies that take place on national days?

You should find out about them.

They're really quite special...

There's a chap riding around on a horse outside parliament

wearing chain mail, one of those St George's cross sash things over the top and brandishing a sword.

I think he's doing quite a job of celebrating.

Sash things? Do you mean a tabard?

Really, I expect better.

Outside a city centre bar just now

were three people wearing white with St George's cross plastic bowler hats and T-shirts, one of whom was carrying a huge flag of same design.

Oh, for a machine gun.

Urban fox hunting.......

I'm shooting at the little ginger bastards from the passenger side window of a Bedford Rascal.

Then I'm going to go to O'Neill's where I shall demand a pint of Peroni, served to me in a Chinese made glass by a Polish barman.

found out that it is St Georges day about 3 minutes ago.

To celebrate I'm going to stay at work until 5:30pm, drive home, eat dinner, see my girlfriend, watch the Apprentice and then go to bed...

I'm gonna get really piised on Guiness

not see the irony, then go out and beat up some ethnic minorities.

That'll learn 'em. WHO WON THE WAR EH? EH?

You could actually........

Guinness is British owned and the Guinness family are Anglo-Irish protestants.

Alex-in-Ciderland | 23 Apr '08, 13:54 | Send note | Report this | Reply

and it started in London

IN YOUR FACE IRELAND

Wasn't it first made in St. James' Gate?

Where it's still brewed? For the time being at least, it will all be in Nigeria before long.

Indeed it was

The porter style of booze originated in London, not Guinness itself

Living and working in England for the day.

Go to an English pub later to watch an English football club on T.V with other Englishman and drink a pint of Belgian lager, damn I ruined it.

Yeah but that Belgian lager was probably brewed over here

and a DAMN SIGHT BETTER THAN THOSE DASHED FILTHY FROGS COULD EVER HOPE TO ACHIEVE!

True, that's a fully English day then.

I can't believe Stella is now £3.20 at the pub I go to, I live in a small town in Northamptonshire, it's not London. :(

I refuse to drink Carling or Carlsberg, they're only about 30 to 40p cheaper anyway.

Stella is expensive because

it's drunk by morons who like piss and deserve to be ripped off

brusma | 23 Apr '08, 14:18 | Send note | Report this | Reply

It maybe expensive but..

..I also drink "Real-ale" and I like the taste of both. You have to remember that some pubs don't sell many ales.

GalacticStar3ruption | 23 Apr '08, 14:32 | Send note | Report this | Reply

drink ale

it's always cheaper and much nicer and much more english.

I'm using the cosmopolitan approach

Currently I am working for the benefit of English people using systems put in place in ancient Rome. Once home, I shall eat an Italian pasta dish manufactured by a British company and sold by a British supermarket, before looking at some British based wesbites on a laptop made by an Italian company. Tonight I shall go out to a Far East-inspired venue with British interior, where I will watch an English band called Johnny Foreigner. HA.

listening to The Village Green Preservation Society

by The Kinks

it's not that good, it sounds like a folk rock album made by the BNP.

I was going for Barca 1-0

or 1-1 myself.

If it's 1-1 Manu wont get beaten.

Are you a Man Utd fan by the way?

I think you'll (asuming you are indeed a Man Utd supporter) will beat them over two legs, defensively and form wise you're in a much better position.

I'm drinking Polish beer...
