*Bob* Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Any Scottish Independence freaks in the house?The (fair-sized) Scottish contingent in my group of friends is woefully split on the matter but leans towards continuation of the Union. The other side blame English lies, myths and propaganda.. as usual.

Nero Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I read last week that Radio Scotland is playing no music today, St A's day, as part of no music week/day/season. Not sure what the intended effect is, but there you go. There's one other radio station, a London one, taking part in this effort today as well. Even the station idents and jingles are being de-musiced at R Sctoland. (I love those neologisms.) Nero.

MrBen Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yes Happy St Andrews day. This always puzzles me as nobody in Scotland celebrates it. As any good Scot knows its a' aboot Burns night these days. Which throws in the joy of haggis neeps n tatties. And poems by the bard himself.The Irish have St Patricks, Aussies have Australia Day or whatever but English dont seem to have a good nationalistic day. Why is that?

Brendan Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I feel very strongly that I should not have to work on any national day of celebration as we all emerged from the same African savannah 150 000 years ago and are therefore all one people. We should all be out celebrating in the streets in the traditional way with rain, whiskey, men in skirts and the tossing of large wooden poles.* *please let me know if I have missed out any important clich?s Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2066-happy-st-andrews-day/#findComment-59370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 No one really celebrates St George's day either, maybe similar reasons to those highlighted in the flying the flag thread. It makes me laugh low the whole country goes mad for Guinness Day, sorry, St Patrick's Day, and I'll bet most people would be able to tell you it's on the 17th of March.

TillieTrotter Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 We arent allowed to celebrate St George's Day without being tarred and feathered. Loads of cods wallop anyway seeing as St George wasnt even English.

Jah Lush Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 And St Patrick isn't Irish. Born in Roman Britain. There is some conjecture that he is Scottish but is more likely to have been Welsh.

I have a good friend who is a staffer at the NME. And have it on good authority that Morrisseys position is not as strong as he might think thansk to something called a tape recorder. He also had right to reply when they ran his comments past him again before publication. I guess they just didnt look too good.
