The Kraken Posted 23 April, 2021 Share Posted 23 April, 2021 St George is the shittest patron saint ever. Never set foot in England, and didn’t even kill a dragon. He was also one of those forrin types, Turkish and Syrian heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Paddy’s is an excuse for a p*ss up, St Valentines only happens because florists, jewellers and greeting card companies got together and convinced women they deserve a day being treated like Mariah Carey.

Why isn’t St Georges day an excuse for a piss up? If there’s is on thing the English are good at it’s getting pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s is on thing the English are good at it’s getting pissed Nobody’s stopping you. TBH I think it’s just a lazy Irish stereotype that’s become something of a worldwide tradition. As with Valentines, it’s marketed heavily so that pubs and breweries make an absolute killing. I guess poor old George just doesn’t have that cheerful, happy to lucky, leprechauns and shamrocks aura to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if the Cheltenham festival was based around St Georges day rather than St Paddy's, it'd be shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 24 April, 2021 Share Posted 24 April, 2021 I saw Saints issue a tweet about it which must have pleased Turkish. Jocks don’t make much of St Andrew’s day and Welsh St David’s. Many Irish have a bit of a persecution complex and huge emigration and are strong at retaining their heritage so ideal for them to have a day to celebrate. We ruled world so don’t feel same about such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
