Also we do celebrate the4th July-as well, since most of the inhabitants on this island are desendents from USA with connections in most states, and we are a weird lot- tailess cats, we talk to fairies, and today-we all celebratedfor the 4th July and TYNWALD all dancing round a maypole,getting drunk, and generallyenjoying ourselves, apart from the rain, hence we party indoors now.Just checking my e-mail,then back to the booze- {no babysitting tonight} WITH GRANDSON. TOOO-DRUNK--------cheers from BrendaThis was posted at 6.24pm gmtSTEVE SMITHActually, several of my British freinds have told me you do celebrate the 4th of July I believe it was called "Good Riddance Day" Seriously,thank you.We owe a lot to our shared British culture, plus we are very blessed with several other wonderful cultures, coming into one. We are still inventing Ameica is this ever shrinking World and Universe.collshubbyAs a Yank in Australia, I was "sick" from work on the Monday after the 4th. I reckon the boss knew better, but he is a man of good humor and didn't care.British heritage goes far and wide, even if many Australians want to be a republic.I still say "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!"------------------Brian Peterastronautbrian@hotmail.comCarrieA friend of mine who's British but now lives here in the States had a "Colonists Got Uppity Day" party. Admission was a dish to pass or 228 years of back taxes. machbusterman quote:Originally posted by gliderpilotuk: Paul,Puh-leese, NO!If anything, we need Churchill Day, or St George's day.

Will have to go through painful process of changing my last name from the easy for everyone Poe to the difficult to spell and pronounce Giusti. But he's worth it. :-)An easy anniversary day to remember.

Paul,
Puh-leese, NO!If anything, we need Churchill Day, or St George's day. It's about time for a new one - we have the fewest bank holidays in Europe. Maybe there ARE some benefits to European unionism after all <ROFL>.Happy 4th to all.

Being a Scotsman there's no way we'd celebrate St George's day.. given the choice of working or having a day off to celebrate an English Saint we'd take the former everytime <G>
