:jacques:

And it was ALL your fault LMAO

Alasse

Was that a tug on our heartstrings or a yank on our logic?

Well, there is such a day as St. George's day in our calendar, but it's not a 'holiday' as such. It's a normal working day and there are no traditional practises which are observed on it. A lot of working people are told they are not allowed to display a St George's Cross flag on their vehicle or work station as it will apparently offend ethnic minorities in our country.

We also have St Andrew's day (for Scotland) St David's day (for Wales) and St Patrick's day (for Ireland).

Obviously, we don't celebrate 4th July, since it is the anniversary of the American's defeating us in the War of Independence, although I can't count how many times I've been asked if we do.

Having said that, 4th July is a very important day for us this year, as it's the day we go for our second scan, and should hopefully find out if Junior-Pucker is a boy or a girl! :D

I thought it was interesting ... I found a URL with "National Holidays" from all over the world ... :)

http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Country...c/Holidays.html

It's just too bad they only gave the dates and not the reasons for the holidays. :(

Then I looked some more and found ...

http://siakhenn.tripod.com/holiday.html

... and it DID say what the holidays were for. For example, did anyone know that September 8th in Andorra is Our Lady of Meritxell Day? :thumbs:

Little things I find strange... like today is a holiday for the Queen in Bermuda, but not in England. I'm not sure exactly what the holiday is, just that I learned this through my version of "corporate America".

Tis also a holiday for the Queens Birthday for us today.....Qld that is

:rolleyes: Ya don't say!












jezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
was that so hard?







:faint:

Yep....had to try to type so you could understand it....and its hard to type slow LMFAO

Just don't type faster than his lips can move...

It's not actually the current Queen's birthday, but one of the earlier models.

Victoria perhaps.

It was a holiday for all Oz except West Oz, I think.

I'm starting to think it’s ALL your fault. :nod: I haven’t seen a lot of posting on here?!?! :brows:

Happy Canada Day to all our friends above the 49th. :) ……….. and especially to Newfoundland, who is having their Memorial Day also.

They have to be the smartest province among our great neighbors. (They threw Steph out, didn’t they? ) :thumb:

Beaumont Hamel/Happy Canada Day
 

Today is Canada Day but Newfoundlanders tend to be more subdued because we lost a lot of men on July 1, 1916.

In Newfoundland, today is akin to Remembrance Day (but we also celebrate11/11/11).

My province lost 820 men that day. God bless France & Belgium for their respect for that day.

Happy Canada Day and also God bless all those who gave there lives to help secure or preserve liberty.

Hat's off to our Canadian friends.

The Germans took a human toll that day but "with chins tucked down as if walking into a blizzard" the Newfs helped put a dent into 'er.

Steph,

Yes'm. The Somme was a terrible, terrible experience. :(

In a couple hours SOMEBODY:rolleyes2 in eastern Australia will be getting up and NOT going to work AGAIN.

October Long Weekend already, and us not getting it up here.

Seeing that nobody (in San Francisco :rolleyes2 ) around here wants to ENLIGHTEN us, I wish all a pleasant





;)

I knew I head about that from someone. :banghead:

:rofl:

It's a newie on me.

I have a list of Indian National Holidays posted on my wall at work. Oddly enough, this one, Christmas, and Good Friday are the only ones I understood. Oh, I guess Independence Day too.

I think it's Yom Kippur today too... though I'm not good with the Jewish Holidays.
