Are you coming out for St Patricks day?
Ignorant Englishman: Are ya? I've bought a big stupid fucking green hat with stupid fucking jangly fucking bells on it and I'm going to drink loads of Guniness and do a fucking jig when I get to the pub. The pub have decorated everything in green for St Patricks day and have 'The fairytale of New York' on a non stop loop. Its going to be ace, to be sure!

Me: Do you know when St Georges day is?

Ignorant Englishman: Whats that?

YEAH! FUCKING GET IN!
if only every patron saints' day was annually turned into a circus by an alcoholic refreshment.

on the other hand,
a festival where everyone drinks tea and pretends to be sexually repressed wouldn't be much fun.

I am with you on that 100%
I know it’s in to be anti nationalistic, but the current trend to laughing / ignoring anything with English connotations really ticks me off.

My dad got it right when he said,
English people constantly moan about why things they believe should be aren't being celebrated, "What about St Georges day!" they cry. The St Patricks Day parade in Birmingham is set up and run by the Irish Community.

If you want a fucking celebration organise one yourself.

My entire family are Irish but I was born in England. I have no alliance to it, It's a shitpot country with an awful history of being a massive bunch of cunts.

/my 2 cents

I organise a pub crawl every year
For like minded people, and it is growing in popularity all the time. As for you and your father, you are welcome to fuck off out of England's green and pleasant land any time you like.

Cheers.

I think he was saying that Ireland is a shitpot country that he has no alliance to, not England...

"Englands green and pleasant land"
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you part of the WI?

No point in arguing though, go and have your pint with your growing group of supporters. Take over the world, find something to celebrate.

Big man.

Pisses me off
.. how such a big deal is made of St. Patrick's Day, but practically nothing happens on St. George's.

Oh, I'm not blaming the Irish for anything - au-contraire, it's fantastic that they celebrate their patriotism.

But why are the English so lacklustre about their own culture and national pride?

It also pisses me off when people associate Britishness with thuggishness. When I was a teenager I had a t-shirt with a Union Flag on the front. Someone actually asked me if aspired to be a skinhead... WFT?? No, I was simply proud to be British.*

* Well... I used to be at least

That's nothing
I arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on 1st March, resplendent in my Welsh rugby replica shirt, with a daffodil AND a leek pinned to it, only to find every single fucking pub already had all the Paddy's Day gubbins (courtesy of A Guinness and Co) plastered absolutely everywhere.

Luckily for me the barman in the "Irish pub" (yeah, like they invented them!) I drowned my Taff patriotism in was from Dublin, knew why I was dressed like a twunt, and gave me free beer and chasers every other round.

The name of the bar's owners?

The Llewellyn's.
