OK - we've had the daffodil (for days) - we had the shamrock (for one day only, why was that exactly?Hmm) - please can we have a dragon for St. George's Day, even if it is also Easter Saturday so will be surrounded by bunny-eared emoticons - PURRRRLLLLEEEEEASE??

I'm starting early because it might take a while to get a nice dragon done...

we've had the shamrock and daf over the years.....have we really never had anything for st georges day???Shock

thumbwitch · 18/03/2011 13:30

I don't think so - I've only been here a couple of years (or is that nearly 3, OMG!) but I don't recall ever seeing one and I WANT one! And no pesky rose, either - that's a cop out. Wanna dragon!

i want a dragon too!!! but it might look too welsh???

disclaimer.....i'm part welsh,no problem with that!!

ValiumSingleton · 18/03/2011 13:54

Are dragons not Welsh though!?

[confused irish face]

I have always thought this, based on..... Ivor the Engine in about 1978

How about a shield with a St Georges Cross on it?

ethelina · 18/03/2011 14:00

I would like St George slaying the fire-breathing dragon, with a shield with a cross on it and a sword and everything please.

Smile
thumbwitch · 18/03/2011 14:03

small red dragons are Welsh and are called things like Idris, yes Valium. :)

A shield with a cross on it?? Pah. This isn't a football crowd, y'know.

I like Ethelina's suggestion but would be happy with just a dragon... but possibly not a red one to save confusion. How about a green one?

ethelina · 18/03/2011 14:13

Green is good.

Flisspaps · 18/03/2011 14:15

What about a dragon with bunny ears, two for one!

thumbwitch · 18/03/2011 14:16

{grin]
I mean...
No no, flisspaps, I wanna proper DRAGON, not one with silly bunny ears reducing its dignity. Shock

ethelina · 18/03/2011 14:19

Bunny ears and breathing fire maybe? Covers all bases.

ethelina · 18/03/2011 14:20

Is this not the middle of the night for you Thumb?

Honeydragon · 18/03/2011 14:22

A proper green baby dragon hatching out a Easter Egg for me please Grin

the tech guys need a challenge.

Well done Thumb btw Wink

thumbwitch · 18/03/2011 14:22

Sure is, ethelina - I'm off to bed soon though, have swimming in the morning at 8

Honey - like it! [gron]

or even Grin

Hmm at finger dyslexia there.

OP posts:
ethelina · 18/03/2011 14:25

Aah so this is already Friday night for you then Grin

Still breathing fire though Honey?

Honeydragon · 18/03/2011 14:49

Yes cute little sparks or smoke rings will be acceptable Smile

nickelbabyhatcher · 22/03/2011 17:04

it's not Easter Saturday, it's Holy Saturday.
It can't be Easter Saturday because Easter won't have happened yet.

Easter week starts on Easter Day (the Sunday) and continues till the following Saturday (Easter Saturday) then the following Sunday is Easter 1, or more correctly, nickelbabe's birthday Grin

nickelbabyhatcher · 22/03/2011 17:04

oh, and I want a dragon-ish smiley too.

NancyMumsnet · 22/03/2011 17:09

Delighted to do something - would a rose maybe be clearer?

nickelbabyhatcher · 22/03/2011 17:20

oooh, nooooo, then we would be arguing over whether it should be a York rose or a Lancashire rose.

bad idea.

can't you do a dragon at all?

stream · 22/03/2011 17:34

Green dragon please.

Breathing fire, if poss. Wink
