+[MF]taz Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 What are you doing to celibrate today? I'm planning on going down the pub and enjoying it with my friends, I may nip and do a local cache before I do Quote
+keehotee Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 As it's such a nice day I think I'll stay at work until 10:30, then get the train to Bristol for a renewables seminar, then get the train back at 7 to arrive home at 8:30, when I may, if I'm lucky, down a bottle of St Georges Ale before falling asleep on the sofa whilst watching telly.....

+third-degree-witch Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Wasnt 'St George' a Turk who never visited our shores ? Quote
+Flyfishermanbob Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Wasnt 'St George' a Turk who never visited our shores ? Seems he was a Roman.... http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/cu...s/stgeorge.html Quote
+morknmindyyorks Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I for one will be celebrating by having a pint or two later. Quote
+scottpa100 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I don't wish I was English for one minute but St. David's Day is earlier in the year and it's a bit more drafty. Today - its nice and sunny - get a couple of caches, finish up at a country pub. Sounds an ideal day to be English!! Quote
+Stuey Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I'm going for a 12 mile walk after walk (a shorter walk that I've been doing recently. I'll be walking along the canal/river Exe to Dawlish, going past 11 caches that I've not found yet. I hope to make time to grab a few of them this time (I may need to run a bit to catch up with the rest of my colleagues!). Quote
+Alibags Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Wasnt 'St George' a Turk who never visited our shores ? What's that got to do with the price of fish? Christianity is the official religion of the country too, but I have it on reliable authority that Jesus was not an Englishman either! Nice to see the bluebells flowering today, as they are traditionally meant to do. Previous years they have been done by April 23rd. I shall celebrate by grovelling around in some good old English mud looking for a cache this lunchtime. Quote
+HazelS Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I wish I was off work today.... but then again, I wish that every day! You'd never believe I love my job.... I think I might nip off and do a cache... might even do the one that Scottpa100 DNF'd on Sunday!! (ha ha ha) Quote
+Team Sieni Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Wasnt 'St George' a Turk who never visited our shores ? He's been around a bit has St G. I think the Greeks were/are fans too, and the Georgians. He was foisted on us English by William I, while he wasn't burning towns to the ground and massacring the population. Good old W the B. On a more positive (and on topic) note there's a very nice cache called St George at St Leonard’s (GC12C1A) Today is its first birthday. Quote
+FollowMeChaps Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 The game's afoot: Follow your spirit; and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' Quote
+careygang Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Hear hear! I'll have a day of explaining to Americans what St George's Day is! They go completely over the top for St Patricks... Quote
+The Cache Hoppers Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I've had a very funny text message joke about St George's Day today - if anyone wants to see it, text me (if you have my number) or email me your number through my GC.com profile and I will forward it on. It's very politically incorrect though I like St George's Day because when it arrives I know my birthday is getting close Quote

+Moote Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I will be ignoring St George's day as he has nothing to do with England. In stead I will celebrate St Alban's day later in the year! Oh on the point of "having nothing to do with" What does this have to do with caching? Quote

+[MF]taz Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 If their was a patron saint of Cachers? who would it be? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I guess it would have to be St Anthony of Padua, who is the patron saint of "lost things". MrsB Quote
+HazelS Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I wonder if there was ever a patron sain t of tupperware? Quote
+The Strangler Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I'll be celebrating with a chinese and a few pints of lager Quote
+g0akh Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 It's my birthday, so to celebrate, I took the day off, and laid (if that's the right word) three caches. Quote

+third-degree-witch Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Are ALL the Xtian saints roman soldiers then ????????? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I guess it would have to be St Anthony of Padua, who is the patron saint of "lost things".MrsB With all today's dramatic news, I'm voting for St. Jude. The Patron Saint of Lost... Causes. Quote
