St George's Day - can we have a dragon please?

OK - we've had the daffodil (for days) - we had the shamrock (for one day only, why was that exactly?) - 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...

no Welsh dragons. Nothing against the Welsh at all - but they've had their day and their emoticon.

Damian - are you sure you can't manage one? reeeeeaaaaallllly?

Yay Pasch! that's the beast we want :)

Ormirian · 20/04/2011 15:08

Yay for a dragon!

I like dragons. So does DS2.

LittleWhiteWolf · 20/04/2011 15:10

If we don't get a dragon I'm flouncing

I can't think of anything else that will suffice. A flag with the cross on it is too football, and a rose is just a cop out. Dragon it must be.

...bet they get sparkly dragons at netmums...

Show me the DRAGON!

Twit · 20/04/2011 15:38

How about an animated ticker type one, with the depiction of George slaying the dragon along the bottom of every post (if psoter wishes)?

I suppose a tudor rose might work.

That's a very nice green dragon, Twit. It even looks a bit like the English dragon that Pasch linked too, only a better colour.

But as far as a rose goes - oh no no no no no! NO FLOWERS.

thumbbunny · 23/04/2011 10:27

And HAPPY ST. GEORGE'S DAY

Gooseberrybushes · 23/04/2011 10:32

I would like a rose. Please.

Gooseberrybushes · 23/04/2011 10:32

oh well done anyway [busmile]

Gooseberrybushes · 23/04/2011 10:33

tis not welsh at all

RustyBear · 23/04/2011 14:51

In 2011 the Anglican and Catholic calendars celebrate St George's Day on the first Monday after Easter Week (2 May)

So is the dragon staying until then?

thumbbunny · 23/04/2011 14:52

Have asked that question somewhere, Rusty - haven't had an answer yet though. Hope so!

Paschaelina · 23/04/2011 19:10

Just got home.

Had to do it.

Happy St George's Day everyone!
and
Happy Birthday me!

RustyBear · 23/04/2011 21:27

Just got back from Twickenham, watching the St George's Day rugby - at the end St George chased a red down the pitch - the dragon got away though and scored a try, but in the end they were both defeated by the stewards....

thumbbunny · 23/04/2011 22:56

Happy Birthday Guacamole!

RustyBear · 24/04/2011 22:04

The dragon's gone!

Damien - did you not read my post about St George's Day not being until next week?
