Today is the vastly over rated St Georges Day. I am not going to insult the English in this post as I'm usually apt to do. Although I'm interested to hear their thoughts on having an over subscribed (is there anything or anywhere he isn't patron of??), non English saint as their patron?
Now the English have St George, the Welsh have St David and Scotland has St Andrew. Who do we Brits have? Britannia of course! She's way better looking, hasn't the religious association of a saint (ok some good old Paganism maybe!), and has never done a thing wrong because she doesn't exist!
Give me a Britannia Day!!!! We can take one of those unnamed Bank Holidays and make it way more exciting... none of those boring and drab flags of St George... glorious, wonderful Union flags... my heart skips a beat at the very thought...
Commander in Chief is back (woo)... and Matt Lanter can return to his rightful place on my iPod.
George Bush... adopt a son like this... it'll boost those ratings!!
EDIT: I live just down from Blackheath and just up from Cutty Sark, two of the most famous landmarks on the London Marathon course... the kids had to go home last night as all the roads are closed around here today. Helicopters fill the air...
Just watching the start on telly (honestly, I could probably see some of it by looking out the window... lazy!) and Jade Goody has totally cheered me up. She was being interviewed along with Gordon Ramsey and he looked at her shoes and went "you're wearing plimsoles, you're not even wearing trainers".... her response... she said how she'd only trained for 20mins and got bored so stopped... the presenters were speechless...
This should be interesting...
I may drag myself over to Cutty Sark to see the runners stream past...
mmm munchable nipples...
