There'll be kebabs, steaks, chcken livers, sausages and fish and a range of salads and it all starts at around 7.30pm. All welcome!

April 22, 201015 yr Actually dug out the Cross of St George this morning, but decided it may cause confussion to fly it from the car. Will wait for the football to start. Iain
April 22, 201015 yr Author Actually dug out the Cross of St George this morning, but decided it may cause confussion to fly it from the car. Will wait for the football to start.Iain When I was living in the London borough of Lewisham, the local pubs were banned from flying the flag of St. George in case it inflamed racial tensions. Flying the Nigerian flag after they won a couple of world cup football matches excited no similar degree of reproach....maybe that's why we're all here! Anyway, St. Geoge will be breathing nothing more venomous than barbecue fire at The Olde Bell tomorrow eve, with a few tasty morsals atop it!!
April 22, 201015 yr "Saint George (ca. 275/281 – 23 April 303) was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier and priest in the Guard of Diocletian, who is venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Eastern Catholic Churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. Saint George is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres (Spain), Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Milan, Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, [(Rio de Janeiro)], Lod, Barcelona and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organizations, and disease sufferers."

April 23, 201015 yr I say! That sounds rather spiffing! Where is The Olde Bell? Happy St George's Day to all. I always forget, thanks for the reminder.
April 23, 201015 yr Author I say! That sounds rather spiffing!Where is The Olde Bell? Happy St George's Day to all. I always forget, thanks for the reminder. Assuming you don't need directions all the way from Pattaya, Jonathan!, once you've got to Chiang Mai, The Olde Bell is on Loi Kroh Rd (The main entertainment street) about 300 metres from the moat, next door to the Raming Lodge Hotel and behind the Yellow Bank of Ayuthaya ATM & Foreign exchange booth. If you get lost give the pub a ring on 087-811-9468 and we'll try to help you! As I said things start of around 7.30pm
