pugwash Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 eveyone else celebrates their patron saint day because deeep down they feel they're country is inferior to everyone elses so they have to shout about. We don't fel inferior, therefore we don't need to shout about our own country. alternatively we're stupid idiots for missing out on a fine excuse for a drink up can't quite decide which argument has more worth!

Guest WALFY Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Minor correction to the above post. I am as patriotic as they come. You have a union flag on petal. It is only called the the union jack when flying from the jack staff on a boat. Or so I'm led to believe. Either way it's good to roll out the patriotism every now and again.
