  1. You started by posting a quote that you falsely attributed to Sadiq Khan. Instead of apologising for your mistake, you immediately go on a bizarre rant about a solicitor doing his job? What his clients do or say has nothing to do with Khan. Or are you suggesting that Peter Sutcliffe's solicitor was in favour of murder?
  2. BANNED!!!! Oh wait. Crowds have flocked Trafalgar Square to celebrate the Feast of St George. The event, which celebrates England's patron saint on 23 April, was back on again this year after being cancelled due to Covid-19. Pearly Kings and Queens attended the central London square, which hosted street performers and live bands alongside a food market. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the event "honours everything that makes England the country it is today". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-61203917.amp
  3. It's not Shakespeare's birthday today. Nobody knows when he was born, but it's generally celebrated on St George's Day, not the day after. As for the rest of your post, nobody has told you to shut up and sit down. Nobody has said you can't celebrate the day. This weird need to feel like a victim is bizarre.
  4. St George being patron saint of England is silly. St Patrick being patron saint of Ireland isn't. Was it that hard to follow?
  5. It's likely that Patrick was born and raised in northern Britain, either modern day Cumbria or Scotland (he lived long before England, Wales and Scotland existed). The big difference between George and Patrick though is (if you accept them to have existed) Patrick did actually go to Ireland and live there.
  6. He wanted to, but he never managed it. His grandson, King Athelstan, was the first king of England. Interestingly, Athelstan's brother Edmund succeeded him as king and ruled until he was murdered in Pucklechurch. Which remains the only interesting thing about Pucklechurch.
  7. They'd struggle to fill this gate:
  8. We should forget about St George and start celebrating St Edmund's Day on 20 November. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Edmund-original-Patron-Saint-of-England/
  9. It's a myth that there are a lot of people that hate England. What people mock the plastic patriotism of those who use things like St George's Day to pretend England is somehow superior to everyone else. We have a long proud history of self depreciation and self mockery in this country. We should never allow sensitive right wing snowflakes to stop our piss taking.
  10. The best thing about St George's Day is that it gets the 15ers wearing red and white. ?
  11. They are going to be the first ex Premier League club to drop to non-league. Not surprising if it gets nasty up there.
  12. This. They'll get relegated this season and I don't see them getting back up.
  13. Rolf Harris was the shocking one to me. He always seemed such a decent guy. ?
  14. I know exactly what you mean. I always used to say I loved The Jam but could take or leave his other stuff. Saw him up the Downs supporting Noel Gallagher a few years ago and completely changed my mind. Brilliant live artist with a back catalogue of ridiculous quality.
  15. The best thing is that this guy is looking like he's thinking "oh shit, that's a nice shirt....I made a terrible mistake when choosing a football club..."
  16. NFTs are mostly a con. This will end in tears.
  17. Something like this? https://shop.ee.co.uk/broadband/5g-home-broadband That's EE, I'm sure the other mobile networks make their own.

    Wordle

    In WW2, crosswords were under suspicion of spreading codenames to the Germans. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Crossword-Panic-of-1944/ All we have to do in WW3 is ensure codenames are all 6 letters or more and Wordle is in the clear. ?
