Happy St. George's Day!

Post by beowuuf »

To all you English people out there. Go on, how many of you actually remembered?

Do you feel embarrassed to have a Scotsman remind you? Do you? :D

Dunno about that, I'm too preoccupied with it being the 25th anniversary of the ZX Spectrum :D

Here in Zaragoza, Aragon Province, Spain they have a bank holiday for San Jorge. A holiday for it's patron. It's impossible to forget the guy when you're supping beer in a shaded plaza away from the festivities.

Cheers!

If you don't know whom to toast to, I do believe you are too sober :D

Just found out.... It's 'Workers Day' next week. Ahhh work, we'd better do some Beo!

With St Patrick's day it's normally the day after that they phone in for a sickie and take the day off.
