    It's a good day to be English
    Being as it's, St. George's Day
    Be proud of your English blood
    And drink gallons of beer today

    What? These days, they'll arrest you and throw you in jail, just for saying you're English?

    Glad to see one of the great traditions of St George's Day ie moaning that you can't celebrate when you can without any bother, maintained.

    And yes I've seen the Stuart Lee sketch.

    Proudly English today and hope everyone enjoys the celebrations laid on by the club today.

    Happy St George's Day everybody. Have just finished a 100 mile walk from Winchester to Eastbourne. We should feel very lucky to live in this "Green and pleasant land".

    The Portuguese legal system is very strict, you know.

    Have a lovely St. George's day, from here in sunny Northern Ireland, good luck to all of you in celebrating the slaying of the Duchatelet regime dragon.

    Try not to drink too much.

    Mind you, I'd drown my sorrows too..... if I were English. :wink::smiley:

    WHAT have I done for you,
    England, my England?
    What is there I would not do,
    England, my own?
    With your glorious eyes austere,
    As the Lord were walking near,
    Whispering terrible things and dear
    As the song on your bugles blown,
    England -
    Round the world on your bugles blown.

    Where shall the watchful sun,
    England, my England,
    Match the master-work you've done,
    England, my own?
    When shall he rejoice agen
    Such a breed of mighty men
    As come forward, one to ten,
    To the Song on your bugles blown,
    England -
    Down the years on your bugles blown?

    Ever the faith endures,
    England, my England:-
    'Take and break us: we are yours,
    England, my own!
    Life is good, and joy runs high
    Between English earth and sky:
    Death is death; but we shall die
    To the song on your bugles blown,
    England -
    To the stars on your bugles blown!'

    They shall call you proud and hard,
    England, my England:
    You with worlds to watch and ward,
    England, my own!
    You whose mail'd hand keeps the keys
    Of such teeming destinies,
    You could not know nor dread nor ease
    Were the song on your bugles blown,
    England,
    Round the Pit on your bugles blown!

    Mother of ships whose might,
    England, my England,
    Is the fierce old Sea's delight,
    England, my own,
    Chose daughter of the Lord,
    Spouse-in-chief of the ancient Sword,
    There's the menace of the Word
    In the Song on your bugles blown,
    England -
    Out of heaven on your bugles blown!

    William Ernest Henley (1849 - 1903)
