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?

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

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

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.
