No, but then again, he's hardly anything to do with Britain
St George

It has a lot to do with England though... It's the English national day, not British.

Pretty meaningless though, he wasn't even English and he was a filthy Christian.

If you take the Church Of England, St Georges Day this year falls on May 2nd because of Easter...

lol no I was way to intent on getting out and adventuring this morning to care about anything; Ben Browder could of been standing in my porch wearing a tux with no tie and the shirt 3 buttons open (sexiest male attire ever tbh) and I would not of even been aware of that.


...until about 3 hours later when my reflexes kicked in and I would of been sobbing all the way home that is.

yeah we have our own damned identity, scots and welsh all want independence well so do we!! bog off and stop eating our fish & chips ye celtic cretins!!

really pisses me off when americans say 'oh you have a british accent' AARGH there is no such thing!! one would have to amalgamate english, scottish, irish and welsh and tbh that'd just sound like a klingon choking on a starbar, while underwater.

An accent from Britain is a British accent surely?

nope because britain is made up of four countries that all speak different languages with dramatically different accents...unlike say for example, america where the accents vary but you can tell who is american wheather they are from california or arkansas or wherever there is no way you can confuse irish for english.

Besides, compare the flags...

The welsh one is so much more interesting than the Scots or English flags. :)

What's with the obsession with St Patrick's Day btw? Always seems to be made a big deal of every year, or perhaps it's just Diageo making a big deal of it.

What makes me laugh is more brits celebrate St Patricks day more than St Georges day.

Probably because it's so massively commercialised by companies like Guinness and British culture seems to revolve around drinking as much as we can as fast as we can so people lap up all the bollocks and use it as an excuse to dress in green and get shitfaced.

Ironically, my Irish friends are like "wtf is with you guys and St Patrick's day?" - doesn't seem to be that big a deal in Ireland according to them, certainly not the lengths we go to.

Y'all suck, I actually go out killing dragons on this important day.

They have a fast respawn rate just out of London...

Would've known if I'd thought about it but have been out of the country for most of the last 6 weeks! I'll have to start taking my laptop with me to keep up with you all!
