triggmiester Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Ok so we've had an Irish theme etc.......... Why no British themed banner today for St Georges Day??????? 1
tech_guy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 A fear of appearing to not be politically correct?!
ButterflyMoon Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Banners for the National Days are a very good idea. Nice to feel pride in our own countries within the UK. An English banner for St Georges day would look good. ;0)
tech_guy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I suggest everyone change theri avatar to the flag?

K.C.Leblanc Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Why no British themed banner today for St Georges Day??????? St George isn't the patron saint of Britain.
triggmiester Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 stop being picky you know what I'm talking about
ButterflyMoon Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 That was why I put my tongue in cheek reply too K.C
Gatt Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 St George isn't the patron saint of Britain. I agree.. besdies I dont think we've ever had a St. Andrew's day one.. C'mon ZH!! you should know better!
ZeroHour Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I am rather speechless at this and the other thread.
Gatt Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I was merely referring to the lack of a St Andrews day banner - dont care if theres one for St george! I see cars have started sprouting "ears" again
localzuk Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I am rather speechless at this and the other thread. Ditto! 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. I would remove it if I were you too... Seems people have forgotten that these banners are done by a volunteer, in his time... 1
triggmiester Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Yes a volunteer, but someone who took the time to make the other ones in time for the appropriate day/peoples birthday, without having to have a thread about it. If St Patricks is important enough why not St George???

If St Patricks is important enough why not St George??? ...I take it then that you've completely ignored the fact he has actually done one, and has also mentioned that he started it before either of the two threads began? Once upon a time English patriotism was enough that we knew we were the best and didn't require a day to celebrate it. Apparently we're now getting into the insecure stage of actually needing to demonstrate it with national days, and complaining when a website doesn't put a banner up. Thanks SYSMAN for your work on the banner, it looks fantastic. 7

Gatt Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Love it! in fact that should be the permanent EG Banner 1
PiqueABoo Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Banners for the National Days are a very good idea ..especially when they coincide with my birthday. Once upon a time English patriotism was enough that we knew we were the best and didn't require a day to celebrate it. ..wrong diagnosis in my relatively studied opinion (coz of above). The flag waving is a bit this century, but I recall people celebrating today a bit more before all the associations with the local nazis took over.. associations that thankfully are gradually fading.
jamesb Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 The flag waving is a bit this century, but I recall people celebrating today a bit more before all the associations with the local nazis took over. Flag waving's for jubilees and coronations!
localzuk Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Flag waving's for jubilees and coronations! That would be the Union Flag you'd be waving though... not the flag of England, Scotland, Wales etc...
tech_guy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Ahhhh, the good old days when most of the world map was coloured pink...
EduTech Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 another 2 to add to my collection of the GREAT Edugeek Logo's!! Well done Sysman! yet again another great logo (2) I am sure underneath, the people who moan really do appricate the work you do for Edugeek and understand you dont have to do what you do, but you do it for us! and do a bloody good job at that! Keep up the good work mate James. 1
jamesb Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Ahhhh, the good old days when most of the world map was coloured pink... You mean it isn't? Do I have to buy a new atlas?
