happy st george's day

[AndrewT]

Happy St George's Day, but I think England should replace George with someone more appropriate, who had some influence on the country and who they don't just have one-twentieth share of.

Happy Saint Trevor Sinclair's Day then.

Happy Saint Margaret Thatcher's Day. 

Do you people actually win money when you play poker?

Bit of a leap in logic.

What do you mean by it?

Taking the tiny snap shot that is the Blondepoker Forum it is kind of interesting that the winning punters/poker players (based on the evidence we have) seem to be politically aligned to the left and the losers to the right. Just a coincidence I'm sure but of some interest nonetheless.

This is the reason I play poker at the local EDL branch rather than the tougher game at the Fabian Society.

Make it a bank holiday.

Lots of countries (including Ireland) have a bank holiday on their national day. Some have several national days (eg Mexico has Revolution Day, Independence Day and Constitution Day, all bank holidays). We don't have many bank holidays and no-one really knows the reasons for the ones we have.

I'm still genuinely puzzled by your earlier comment.

Please elaborate.

We have loads of bank holidays, we don't need (and I don't really want) any more.

I'm not sure whether you're having me on but I'll accept at face value that you didn't get it - it was a bit convoluted. It was a side-splitting swipe at you for making an easy joke exploiting the unstated assumption in my post that it would be a recognised saint. It was, er, playfully suggesting that the quality of your joke wouldn't indicate success in other cerebral activity. Clearly, I don't really think this.

Unfortunately, my joke didn't work and wasn't funny either. I withdraw it and apologise.

My joke was supposed to illustrate the pointlessness of celebrating a "saints" day or indeed a national day.

As I said later patriotism and nationalism is stupid.
