Today is St. George's Day in England. St. George is the patron saint of England - it's his white flag with the red cross that you see displayed at most major sporting events involving England and another country. Which is funny, really, because he is apparently also the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Germany and Greece; and of Moscow, Istanbul, Genoa and Venice (second to St Mark).
Surprisingly, we don't have the day off but our office did celebrate with a traditional St George lunch of Pizza Hut pizza and Guinness. Who says PR people don't know how to party?
I for one plan on making sure to mark the occasion of today in a very special way...by helping make history:
Coconut Orchestra world record attempt: Monty Python's Spamalot, the London stage production inspired by' Monty Python and the Holy Grail', will lead on an attempt to break the world record for number of people playing in a coconut orchestra, currently held by New York with 1785 people. Registration from 5pm onwards. Coconut Orchestra rehearsal at 6.30pm. World record attempt at 7pm. Be there to guarantee your place in history. Coconuts will be provided!
I was skeptical until I learned coconuts would be provided.
Photos tomorrow!

Sounds like a hoot... we must see photos of such a gathering. :) And I learned something today. I never knew why people were always waiving those flags. Thanks!
