And you, good yeoman whose limbs were made in England...

Henry Irving

.....show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'


Happy St Georges Day to one and all.

For one day at least let's celebrate what is good about England and the English rather than moaning about what isn't.

Twas in the days of old
The army was in retreat
The old mans eyes were filled with tears
And his boots were filled with feet

Is it St George's Day?

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.



Have a cracking day everyone, Shame the OB still won't allow people to celebrate accordingly though.

This precious stone set in the silver sea,
