I ring up my Scottish relatives to wish them Happy St Andrews Day every year.
I ring up my Irish relatives to wish them Happy St Patricks Day every year.
I ring up my Welsh relatives to wish them Happy St Davids Day every year.

They all ring me up to wish me Happy St George's Day every year. And I'm not English.

It's funny because St.Patrick was from England....

If you all celebrate St.Nicholas' day as well I will be a good St. Nick to you on Christmas day.

On this great day in 1972 I was christened in St George's anglican church Paddington NSW wearing a white christening gown and a red beret.

Keeping this tradition in mind, Both my girls were christened on the same day and in the same church in 2005 and 2008 respectively, Both wearing red and white.

Four proud generations of Dragons fans.

Go the Dragons.

Here's another mmap.

Wife born St Georges Day.
Son born in St George Hospital.
Son Christened at St George Church Rose Bay.
Doctor in charge of delivery at the hospital Dragons tragic.
Day my son was born, Blacklock chip and chase against Tigers at the end of the game, to win it. I remember the somersault, and ecstasy.

Time 2 minutes apart.

First Item of clothing in the crib... you guessed it.
The big red V.

Couldn't agree with you more friend.
We are a rare breed, even if they do raise my blood pressure, and give me heart flutters.

Two years ago today we were staying in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and I discovered this pub, how appropriate -
http://www.the-bayshill-inn.co.uk/
Check the address 85 St Georges Place and also the beer on tap "Wadworth St.George and the Dragon ale".
Had a picture taken of me behind the bar and that tap.

From the website, check out the logo on the tap...
Ale of the Month

Each month - both here and at out sister pub, The Beaufort Arms - we will be having a different 'Ale of the Month' - at the special price of £2.50 a pint! This month enjoy St George & the Dragon'.

'St George & the Dragon is described by Wadworth as follows -

'A beer of full body and robust bitterness with a fiery amber hue - just the stuff for dragon slaying! The palate is crisp and tangy, leading to a long dry 'digestive biscuit' finish with hints of orange and blackcurrant.'

SAINTS' FIRST PREMIERSHIP MATCH
[SIZE=-1]KICKOFF ON 'ST GEORGES DAY', 1921[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+2]
[SIZE=+2]-----------------------------------------------------[/SIZE][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+2]
[/SIZE][/FONT] Saturday, April 23, 1921. Venue: Sydney Sports Ground. Kickoff: 3:15pm[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Saints' first match was coincidentally scheduled for 'St George's Day', 1921. Their opponents were Glebe, captained by William 'Binghi' Benson who went on to play for Saints in 1927 and featured the mighty Frank 'Chunky' Burge who would later captain-coach St George.

Herb Gilbert Snr (pic left) had the honour of being the inaugural first grade captain and coach. A veteran of 33 years old, Gilbert was regarded as one of the greatest centres in the game. His inspiration and experience brought instant respect to the new club.
Saints went down 4 -3 but kept the more fancied Glebe tryless.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]George Carstairs (pic right) had the honour of scoring Saints' first ever try.
