Why do we celebrate an ex Roman soldier slaying an animal that never existed, in Lybia?

And seeing as it never happened, does the location matter? :winking: Title: Re: Saint Georges Day Post by: cla1dwa on April 23, 2006, 08:39:44 AM i'll be having the usual pint of stella or something of that ilk, simply because its a weekend as opposed to the anniversary of my favourite dragonslayer doing his thing.
the reason no-one celebrates st georges day as opposed to st patricks day is down to one thing only: drink. the irish have three drinks (stout, irish whiskey, and irish cream, in all their variations) that you might not have all the time, but are nice to have for a change, AND, look at the marketing that guinness in particular have done. it's worked like a dream. now, as far as i can tell, you can get guinness in almost every bar going. whats the english alternative? carling? i'm not surprised we don't give a shit. Title: Re: Saint Georges Day Post by: GeJon on April 23, 2006, 08:52:16 AM Being the animal rights activist that you all know I am i will be doing my usual protest against all those celebrating the murder of defenceless animals.
Title: Re: Saint Georges Day Post by: Given's Gloves on April 23, 2006, 08:58:29 AM I just got in from an pub , celbrated by drinking Newcastle Broon.
and singing Irish songs , well at least they were in English . Not much this side of the pond on St - Georges.

Carling's actually Canadian. I'd have thought Newcastle Brown would be the most famous English Beer.

I d rather drink cheap wine than poison meself with Carling . So many better beers that cost about the same , assuming youcan't afford Guinness , or toon or Harp or Kilkenny . Why is Carling like making love in a canoe ? Theyre both ******ing close to water . Title: Re: Saint Georges Day Post by: Tom_NUFC on April 23, 2006, 11:41:39 AM Aye Carling's pretty awful. Even Fosters is better than Carling - and that's saying something.

I don't see how a Saints Day can be changed? As far as I'm concerned today is indeed the day. Happy St. George's Day one and all. :D Title: Re: Saint Georges Day Post by: cla1dwa on April 24, 2006, 03:09:27 PM as a pointer, although the carling brewery was set up in ontario canada, the 'carling' we know and, er, hate, ie 4.1% lager, was first made in the united states. ohio to be exact.
worldwide brown ale is probably the most famous british drink, but you can get tetleys in a fair few places, and its consumed a lot more in this country than brown. a pretty grim picture. Title: Re: Saint Georges Day Post by: tccambs on April 24, 2006, 04:03:35 PM Laughing at cub scout marches.
A friend of mine yesterday saw one in the distance and seriously thought it was for midget pride.
