At least you are allow to celebrate your nation............we dont even get a national day :bawl:

There's been a lot of discussion about that in recent years...St Andrews Day up here pretty much passes without any kind of a celebration. The plan is to make it a public holiday and more of an event like St Patricks day.

Personally I can take it or leave it...the Irish have their St Patricks day and its theirs and they do it well...don't try to replicate it. We've got our events that bring in the tourists...I'm always nervous at the Scottish government's attempts to organise anything new ...such as this year's homecoming...always the potential for the nation to look totally inept and spend far too much money.

Look on the bright side...you'll get time off for the next "big" queen's birthday...think she'll proably outlive us all! I still remember the silver jubilee...my parents tied red white and blue ribbons on our west highland Terrier for the village street party. There was a sudden downpour soaking everyone...the colour in the dogs ribbons ran ...we ended up with a red white and blue dog for the rest of the summer.

when up in Scotland for the Do' I'm going to wear one of those two half suits seen in Comedy sketches where one half will be kilt,Tamashanta,sporran,Dirk,and my Billie Connolly Wig and the other half will be English Suited Gent with half a Bowler , brolly and briefcase .................................. Suit you wee jimmy och aye the Tennants Super:rolling:

bye the way i thought that was bloody ridiculous where muslims were allowed to protest in Luton the other week whilst soldiers were parading on return from iraq - where was the proud to be British feeling instead of the politically correct way that was allowed for a group to give abuse to hard fighting servicemen/women (rant over)

...as long as you don't come dressed as a Morris Dancer....

apologies if anyone on here actually participates in Morris Dancing but that is one custom that has always troubled me greatly!!!:rolling:

Right lads, this has gone on long enough. All of this bigotry between our nations is pulling us apart as a community and whoever started this discussion between who's the best should be shot *whistles whilst backing away* (although let's face it, we Scots are way better than you southern softies).

Anyway, to finish of this argument I have to say that I have some very good English friends and one of them pointed out during a conversation why the English would defeat the Scots if it ever came to a war.
Apparently, all the English would have to do is throw a load of pennies over Hadrians wall and then masacre us while we're busy picking them all up :rolling:

(You bugger Sharky, I'm still pissing myself laughing at the thought of that)

The pennies would hit us on the back of the head as we bent down to pick them up

I have come to the conclusion that Rob FM & Sussex TRE are my long lost Brothers, i love your patriotism. Every time i get down i always cheer myself up by thinking how lucky i am to be an Englishman. I would not want to be anything else. It cant be a bad country because everyone wants to live here, some even strap themselves to lorries to get in. Anybody that doesnt like the way my country is should go back to where they came from.
All i can say is that i am BRITISH BY BIRTH & ENGLISH BY THE GRACE OF GOD
