Happy St George's Day

A very Happy St George's Day to all my fellow Englishmen/ladies.

May your day be filled with all things good and English (10 pints of Bombadier and a curry!!)

As Cecil Rhodes said 'Remember that you are an Englishman and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life'

WOOOO! Yay us.



Yay us indeed.

I would guess that would be like winning the Hunger Games lottery...

I shall be partaking in the most English of evenings...adapted to fit my lifestyle...

Since I don't drink due to religious choice, I'll probably have some nice fruit juice, most likely English apple.

Since I've been promising myself a curry for about 3 weeks, and tonight is my only opportunity to have one, I'll do that, but I'll make it a beef curry, and I'll ensure the cows came from somewhere like Wigan.

And I'll do both of these things after I've got home and gone for a run...

Who are you, and what have you done with Rocker?!

Thank god I live in Bedford. One peg up from Luton.

Bedford, Luton and Stevenage.....we have all the classy joints covered here don't we!

The free Nando's MK? I think you may have some disagreements on that one Mr Driz......

This is brilliant. The St George's day thread has turned into a English city bashing thread

Can I put you right there, Buff. Luton isn't a city....it has tried on more than one occasion to become one...yet failed miserably (thank God)

I'm lighter than I ever remember being! I've been trying to lose weight for about 3 months and I've dropped half a stone so far, so something is working!

And I live in Harrogate, and until recently lived in York. Both are beautiful, clean and a pleasure to live in. Not like Luton... However, the worst place I've ever been in England has to be Barrow-in-Furness.

If you do all insist on living in crapholes...

You've obviously never been to Watford...

Or Redcar

One word - Hull. Between that and Luton for the UK's two most terrible crapholes. Make Mansfield look positively wonderful

Look like both Hull and Luton have legit claims.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crap_Towns

Pompey isn't great either. It does have its naval history but because of that had the crap bombed out of it during the war. As a result the city has been left with a legacy of extremely ugly replacement concrete architecture. And being an island it's a very insular place. Rough as fuck really. Bascially a northern city somehow deposited on the beautiful south coast...

Twinned with Coventry by the sound of it.

Coventry has a navy?

OK apart from the Navy bit obviously. (some people are just so picky)
