I'm afraid I've been drinking Australian shiraz,

No surrender,
No surrender,
No surrender to anyone who would seek to harm a neutrally aligned nation with minimal military capacity!

Oh there were 99 German bombers in the air!
In the air!
There were 99 German bombers in the air!
99 German bombers
99 German bomber
99 German bombers in the air!

But the Ilmavoimat from Finland shot one down
Shot one down!
The Ilmavoimat from Finland shot one down
The Ilmavoimat from Finland
The Ilmavoimat from Finland
The Ilmavoimat from Finland shot one down

Now there's 98 German bombers in the air....

 

Is St. George's day such a big thing in England?

 

Haha! Thanks for that Only ... Finland was on the side of the Germans during WWII...

 

Nazi sympathiser!

 

Not at all... everybody celebrates St Patrick's day, but forget about St George.

 

"Holy George, clothed in victory, we know that thou art a brilliant star, a radiant sun in the firmament, a pearl of great price, and dazzling gem, a son of the day, and a valiant man among the martys...." (Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom).

Well, I'm one day late, but what the heck....

 

Typical English. They always steal other peoples customs. :toetap:

 

Well, even St George was Turkish

 

But then how many people can actually name an english beer (other than tetley's, John Smiths and Boddingtons)?

St. patricks day is only celebrated in pubs mainly, well round my end of the U.K. cos of GUINESS!!!

which i have to say is better than most english stouts... well other than
Norfolk Nog which i doubt any of you have had before!

Blacker than guiness, can't see ANY light thru the glass! and has a slightly nutty taste...mmmmm.... nog.

 

I can name quite a few actually
I think the most famous English beer/ale is Hobgoblin or anything from the Wychwood brewery, Oxforshire. Then we have London Pride... where else can that come from?
My favourites are Otter Ale, Tribute Ale (both from the Westcountry) or Old Speckled Hen.

 

We have Brecon Vodka; the choice of the bus-shelters and train station locals!:tongue:

 

Woohoo, we have Tennents lager. Tastes like piss.
