April 23rd is St Georges Day

[John Boy]

Don't forget the Morris dancers

 

[British Bulldog]

How about having 1 day where being an Englishman I can feel I'm equal?

Every thing and every body is protected in this country except from someone like me.

Just a straight white Englishman who wants to be proud of being English.

Lovely stuff boys. And which English Composers and pieces of classical English music will you be listening to?

Plenty of English folk music to listen too, as a example.

good call

 

[dougdeep]

As long as it's not Richie Morris dancing.

 

[Scotty Mac]

Delias or Holst?

holst is a bit of a legend to be fair - the planets was a first class piece of composing

and how could i forget sir henry wood from that list of illustrious men

 

[Lord Bracknell]

And what about Vaughan Williams?

 

[dougdeep]

Benjamin Britain?

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Don't forget the Morris dancers

I think I could. Quite easily, to be honest.

You're not fooling anyone I'm afraid. The fact that you've picked The Planets, one of the most famous symphonies ever written, as the only piece of music you've mentioned is a dead give away, now get back to your Googling and come up with something better.

[Lander]

Why not have all our avatars the St Georges cross for the day?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Benjamin Britain?

Nah.

You have to draw the line somewhere.

Why does he need to pass an "expert knowledge of english composers" test? If he wants to play classical music composed by english composers on st georges day he can...

 

[Gerbil]

Lovely stuff boys. And which English Composers and pieces of classical English music will you be listening to?

Weller,Gallagher,Knopfler etc.

so because i have a lack of knowledge with regards to classical english music, it means i cannot celebrate st georges day with it

i know very little about dance music either, oh well, guess i cant go clubbing if that is the case

St George was probably a muslim and is the patrion saint of various sexually transmitted diseases.

Why would you want to celebrate "ST GEORGES DAY"?

What have you in common with such a standard bearer?.

Lorrenzo mate, ditch the tabloid paranoia and study some English Common Law, you'll sleep far sounder.
