Eddie

Your saint, your pox , your problem....

Oh yes, he is also the Patron saint of English Matchmakers.

Ooops, sorry, that's Shepherds...




Ours, the great St David......

I think that quote is from 'Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' speech of Shakespeare's Henry V, Act III, 1598

Hmmmm....

Henry V was born in the tower above the gatehouse of Monmouth Castle castle in the town of Monmouth, county town of Monmouthshire, south east Wales.
His mother Mary was the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford, and Joan Fitzalan (1347/1348-1419), the daughter of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster. Through her mother, Mary was descended from Llywelyn the Great.

So having a 'Welsh' mother and having been born in Wales... He is Welsh

No Welsh folk mentioned there, Shifty.
She was about as Welsh as Tom Jones, which is to say they are English.
Pace of birth doesnt come into it.
We're told Jesus was born in a stable....that dont make him a bloody horse!

must be awfull to have to share a flag with so many other nations and stuff

"St George's Cross has been adopted on the coat of arms and flags of several countries and cities which have St George as a patron saint, notably Georgia, England, Aragon, Greece, Genoa and Barcelona.
The cross is also found, for various reasons, on the provincial flag of Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel (the 3 provinces of Aragón) as well as the municipal flag for numerous cities, including Montreal, Almería, Milan, Genoa, Padua, Zadar and Freiburg im Breisgau. It is also the basis for the Four Moors flag of Sardinia. Guernsey was permitted to use it as its state flag between 1936 and 1985."

weve got our own...and its better than yours:Tongue1:

How can a mythical cartoon beast that wouldnt even frighten the kids be better than anything? You would have been as well using Ivor the engine.

No. He was Turkish.


To be English is to belong to the most exclusive club in the world.

So Basically what you lot are saying is that St George,who never set foot in blighty and possibly never heard of it either, who may have been a kebab shop owner from Istanbul is the patron saint of 'this green and pleasant land"!

All I can say, is " I'll have some extra chilli on that, and can you max the fries"

At least his name was George could have been Sultan or Doner!!

Born of a noble military family in what is now Turkey.

Dragons aren't real

Perhaps as real as St George being English?

No one has said he was.
We are just happy to be English, like Tom Jones.
Nothing to prove.

Van bitz supporting Wales he must sell a lot of bitz

 

[lorger]

Well hope you all have a great St George's day from a Proud Scot who can only look on to England in awe

Did you know during a recent survey only 61% of English people surveyed prefer the George cross over the union jack and they also thought it was racist i wonder if they where actually born in England

I dont normally quote survey's as they can be made into what ever the surveyor wants but thought this was ok for today

EEk - are you telling me that petes dragon wasnt real...thats just not cricket now is it!

and what did old George slay then...maybe it was just a rat (they are pretty big out in them there parts) then again George slaying a rat doesn't have a ring to it really

and i guess you've never been to Merthyr on a Friday night - some mighty real dragons there! even yer man George would have backed off (rats are big as well so he might have been ok)

so nah.. not mythical at all based on evidence in the valleys

I see some banter has been moderated if it was to strong then http://youtu.be/MSHaCzb3yYk

As long as you dont introduce the welsh knot then ok :thumb:

Very good, but not me, born in Peterborough! Both parents from Southampton, work in Somerset

Support Wales? really? Well actually, being British, I often do, like in the last World Cup for example and hope that the Welsh come runners up in the 2015 RWC when we regain it!

I believe that it was Cecil Rhodes who quite rightly stated being born English was like winning life's lottery!

Can't argue with a man who had a Country named after him!:thumb:

Anyway I don't expect anyone to understand that isn't English, we are the best nation in the World, and deep down everyone else knows this and secretly looks up to us in envy!

Deny it as much as you like we all know the truth!

Seeing as there's been all these English flags on here for St. George's Day, does that mean that there will be a St. Andrew's cross on here for all Scots come the 30th November?

And of course the Welsh flag for St. David's day when it comes around again next year?

I would hope so:thumb:
