Popular Post rad Posted April 23, 2009 Popular Post Posted April 23, 2009 Why did you have an EduGeek logo for St Patricks day but not one for St George's Day? Come on, support your country! 17
Hightower Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 News My website is doing their bit - a bit shocked (but not suprised) that there's now banner on here!
tech_guy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Edugeek afraid of being seen as not being politically correct, surely not?!
Hightower Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Edugeek afraid of being seen as not being politically correct, surely not?! Well it can't be that, otherwise it was wrong to support other countries.
tom_newton Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 We are celebrating by announcing the release of our new Guardian appliance (And yes, we did do it on purpose!)
srochford Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I think the point is that most English people don't really care either way - we're far too reserved to make a fuss :-) No-one stops anyone from putting up flags etc but most people aren't bothered. Add to that the fact that the cross of St George has been mis-appropriated by some pretty dodgy people over the years and I suspect that there are people who actively don't want to display it!

What a sad state of affairs if that is true. It should not matter whether this flag has been abused. This is England's St George's Day and should be recognised as such far more than it is. It's such a shame that so few people seem to have pride in our country anymore, yet are only too happy to promote the days celebrated by other nations. Of all the British Isles, we appear to have lost our identity most of all.
Netman Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Everone change their avatars to the flag today? Done. C'mon EG - we want St George...
MarkPower Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 No time for flags and logo's remember this is a public holiday and everyone should now be in the pub celebrating
jamesb Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Personally I'm going to be celebrating Shakespeare's birthday instead. I plan to do this by having a hearty dinner of meat, cheese and bread, then going to the pub for some traditional stout ale.
jcollings Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Interesting St. George's Day website here St Georges Day Schools' Website :
Number6 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Yes, come on! Where's the St George banner????? Very disappointed!!
tom_newton Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Apparently the "historic market town" of morley is having a large celebration. The mayor was on the radio this morning bigging it up. I will refrain from making any comment about morley's status of historic market township as some of my colleagues live there
Hightower Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I'm extremely disappointed in the powers that be - this is ridiculous.
Hightower Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 There's even two moderators (the people who normally sit on the fence) who have acknowledged the OP's comments - what's going on EduGeek?! Get it sorted!
JJonas Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 looks good Now onto the real issues: getting this day made a public holiday.
ZeroHour Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I am rather speechless at this and the other thread.
sparkeh Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 It would seem I have made a rod for my own back with the logos, one that I maybe should remove. Such a shame if you were to withdraw your (voluntary) services over this. Nobody has a right to expect anything of the (free) site or people who donate their time, but its much appreciated here. 1
Hightower Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Would like to thank everyone for there support with the custom logos. Nice to see the usual suspects making such positive comments. Some of use have a life outside this forum, so excuse me for not having a logo ready for 00:01 today. Not that I have to justify myself but the logo was being done before the first post on the subject. It would seem I have made a rod for my own back with the logos, one that I maybe should remove. That's fair enough, and as Mark has said, we appreciate all your work. Nobody was having a go at you not having time etc. People jumped to conclusions (including me) and thought EduGeek was not supporting today. At the same time though, all it took was a message (and I don't mean you SYSMAN) to stop people getting the wrong end of the stick. "LOGO IS ON THE WAY, DON'T WORRY FOLKS!" 1
