Thought I'd wish English BCF members a pleasant St George's Day. I know that not many people bother compared to the other national days of these islands but I've always made the effort. Without taking it too seriously and regardless of my thoughts about what Britain/Labour etc are up to it's just nice to have a day to think about England and, of course, get substantially pissed as I intend to later. My local pub gets into the spirit of it too.

I've been riding around with this flag gaffer tapped on today, no doubt looking like a tit, but I enjoyed it regardless.

I know many couldn't give a fig, but if you do, have a good one!

A flag made in Indonesia with plastic from china on a japanese bike with Italian luggage.

I'm not having a go, it's just typical of this country, unfortunatley.

Factor in that St.Goerge wasn't even English and never even visited England, it's kind of difficult to get excited over it.

I believe we should have St.Alban as our patron saint - he was the first English Christian martyr after all.

Much fun can be had by going random Crawley Town pubs and explaining to the general oinks that St.George was a Turk Smile

Good times

And there's me thinking England were playing football somewhere. I guess that's what the flag now means to me - arsehole car driver indicator.
