The humour of a good horse link seems to have evaporated for Mr. Prodigy.
I got a similar response a couple of days ago...

I think you are pretty much in the minority if you are unaware
when St George's Day is.

1) the country isn't shit
2) what you one person knows says nothing about nothing other than what that one person knows...
3) if Guinness thought they could make money from St. Georges day they would. It's all fucking arbitrary.
4) profit.

Just my initial reaction I think
"There's a whole gallery?! Just of little satyrical scribbles?!?!?!?"
And then I decided that it would actually probably be really interesting and a good laugh

HAH!
Town's rights are 750 years old this year, and there are too many celebrations already. Serves me right for living next to the central square.

Yeah, we were along the canal side approaching the square
When someone set fire to a car just in front of us. The people on the other side of the canal were firing rockets at us and blocking our attempt to escape from the burning car before its petrol tank went up was about 3 and a half tons of chinese crackers which someone set off right behind us.
We thought we were going to die, it was great!

1. A town was terrorised by made up dragon.
2. A young girl dragged up to caves and left there.
3. Bloke called George heard about this and rode into the village.
4. George then rode up to the cave, sees that there's no dragon, pumps the princess.
5. becomes famous for lying

2. Welshman happens to be in the area
3. Claims all the credit for getting rid of the snakes which were never there

I view it the same way as christmas
I may have no affinity whatsoever for what the day traditionally represents, but that doesn't stop me celebrating it for what it represents to me, which is a day to say "I'm proud to be English", even if I'm not. It's just become a dirty thing tto say, so it's nice to be able to say it without being accussed of being a Nazi
