This is in news because it probably is news to a lot of you!

[Brenden]

Not to me d9, and a happy St. George's day to you - fly the flag high.

[emmie]

[Vicasso]

[SlackAlice]

Not to me either, bit miffed I cannot fit my flag to my car because I fitted wind deflectors.

Happy Shakespeare Day

[ummmm]

It's not news to me.

When is St Andrews day?

Tie it to the aerial SlackAlice.

[jackthehat]

Happy St. Georges Day,

and,

"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Mr William Shakespeare,
Happy Birthday to you."

and,

"We're sorry for your loss, Mrs Shakespeare."

Let's hope he lived long enough to open his presents...........

[Brenden]

Had forgotten JTH, did he not die on his birthday?

[jackthehat]

He did.

He was baptised on 26th April, and most scholars have extrapolated from that that he was most likely born on 23rd.

And the same from me, "A Happy St George's Day to you"

But tell me d9f1c7 why did you choose that monstrosity of design, the Olympic symbol for you Avatar, instead of one more befitting St George's Day?

On articles such as this, it can be a credible and useful resource.

It tends to be less reliable on details such as how often Pamela Anderson has sha$$ed 15 year old boys from Derby called Neil, though.

Read it, or don't read it........it doesn't matter to me.

St George is patron saint of many countries but we like him because of the legend ... The whole thing about defeating enemies far more powerful, courage and chivalry... the idea of George as the Noble knight... In the same way as the legend of king Arthur touches a chord.. its not who we are its how we'd like to be seen

you want a reliable source on whether he killed a dragon? Sadly, there were no eyewitness accounts.
