Off Topic St George's Day

Anyone else turning out sporting our nations colours for our national saints day this Saturday..I will be heading off to my home village of Ryhope to watch a local band playing in the Top House who are fundraising for the Ryhope Colliery Banner to be used on Durham Day..

 

Local band ? - who you watching mate ?

 

I'll maybe wear something red and head off to Wembley.

 

They are called Krisis mate.. A couple of the lads playing, including a good mate of mine, used to be in a band called 'The Green Room' who were pretty well known on the local scene..

 

That's a new name for me - I've seen Green Room in the past good act!

 

I believe they are just starting out with that name, but I believe that all the band members have been on the local scene for many years with various bands..

 

Here in Mallorca, Saint George is known as Santa Jordi. Think I prefer the Mallorcan version of the name. And it will also be celebrated much more widely than back in the UK. Patron Saint of Spain could be ....... St James, I think but maybe it could be Simeone if Atletico pull off the League and CL double.

 

Just seen the gig poster on Facebook - noticed one of my mates playing on the same billing Pete The Jam

 

But he didnt really knack any dragons. Nor was he English (i think).

But still the sentiments are good.

Fly that flag MrRaw. Fly it high and proud.

 

He was actually a Turk... I have no idea how he came to be our patron saint, but as you say it is the sentiment that matters..

 

Dont mentio Turks to Billy. He bought a Turkish oven

 

And I bet it is a delight..

 

Touche

 

I love turkish delight. Some say its like eating a bar of soap.

 

Yes, and twat fell to bits - all the ****ing knobs dropped off.

 

I was actually laughing when i read your oven post. It tickled me.
